Thanks for sharing, I looked at 5 vins for 7/31 no one has shipped yet a couple are STILL waiting for built status, others have been built a while and other recently, all of you seem to be in the back row of the holding lot, it'll move at some point.

@TaxmanHog I just messaged you info on 2 trucks. both are 7/31/23 build week with an 8/02/23 blend date. One is in route but the other is still in production. Any insights as to why one is on a railcar and the other is sitting at the infamous 59? Destination California.

PM returned, but for the rest of the readers, it is totally random as far as I can tell, mixed FILO flow order, one of the trucks might have been lucky enough to be closer in reach for them to finalize the QC and get rolling onto a rail car while the other is deeper back and not been worked, we're seeing movement of a variety of trucks all trims and various options moving out while similarly equipped trucks are not.

My delivery window was moved up to 10/02/23 - 10/08/23 last night.

Didn't expect the estimate to move in that direction, but I'm not mad about it.

Watching people in the other build week threads get shipped dates

 

[Anti-matter Engie]

My delivery window slipped to 10/07/23 - 10/13/23. A day later than the original window.

I get that logistics is hard to predict. But someone is actively guessing over there.

 

[TaxmanHog]

My local dealer, which sold me my special order Lightning last year just received it's most recent Lightning, a XLT-311A special order, it had a blend day of 8/3 and actually went into production right on time, then a month & 12 days to show built, shipped 11 days after that, it was delivered today 10/5.

Only took 10 days from shipped to delivered to transit rail to East Brookfield Mass, then convoy ride today to the dealer in Seekonk Mass.

I just got a text from my Dealer rep with a pic of my pre-delivery notice document from Virginia transportation with the following:

Yard Departure Date: 2023-10-06 09:06 AM
Expected Arrival Date: 2023-10-06 13:52:44 PM

No email from Ford. No change online.
More to come…

That delivery is on an automated slider to keep that carrot dangled in front of you. You have to check this one, if there's no shipped date, the tracker you're looking at is useless: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking

That's great news, I'm honestly expecting our trucks to be on the same transport from the plant, might give my sales guy a ring...

Oh I am watching that tracker too, but I've also heard of people never getting a 'shipped' notification and it just showing up at the dealer unannounced.
