✅ 1/9/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Webbo85]

Congrats guys! My blend date was 1-15 so I'm figuring I will get the same "BUILT" notice in another day or two! My ETA is still 1/24 - 1/30.

I can't wait.

Seems like it's mostly Pro's and XLT's completing so far, and the Lariat ER are still to come. Blend date of 1/11 and was on Chip hold last week. Although it looks like some of the Lariat ER's from the 1/2 build week are completing today, so hopefully we're next in line.

Congratulations. Mine is still in production. Yours went into Production two days ahead of mine so hopefully mine will be out of hold later this week. I wonder if the temporary chip hold has to do with the Pros still having heated steering wheels since my window sticker does not show heated steering wheel removal credit.

I don't believe pros got a heated steering wheel, so there would be no need to remove it. I know the 2023's got heated seats but I thought that was it.

Sorry about that. My bad.

No worries, I thought the same thing when I saw a removal of it on the ford site haha

At least nobody else is getting the heated steering wheels for MY23. I'd be salty about it if I had a nicer trim where it was originally included. Hopeful that the field update to add the heated steering wheel for the other trims might be available for the PRO as well (for a cost I'm sure).

Yeah I'd be more upset if I had an 81k vehicle on the way without a heated steering wheel. I wouldn't mind one too to help with not having to use the hvac as much in the winter.

My dealer tells me mine is in a chip hold! Oh man

I figure there will be a lot of "salty" Lariat and Platinum owners.

She's "BUILT"

Now I get the “built “ email, and it shows it will be at the dealership between yesterday and Sunday. Lol

My dealer said my truck should be at dealer between today and Monday.

And we're shipped!

After my Lightning reached "Built" status it was still on a chip hold. I would temper your expectations until it shows shipped. I waited 24 days to go from built to shipped. Not to be a downer by any means but you're one step closer to loving your Lightning.

I hope this is not the case as my XLT changed to “Built” status today!

 

[buttah_hustle]

Got the email today from Ford telling me was built, then logged in and saw my status on vehicle order tracking was 'shipped'.

Does anyone know when the dealers have enough information to start negotiating price, or does that *have* to happen the day I take delivery?

I'm anticipating a fight over PPO, and would like to start the fight early so I can make taking delivery as seamless as possible--I'm taking it straight from the dealer to a detailing shop to have a Ceramic coat done so would like to be able to schedule that.

Any insight?

Guess they got the chips they needed for the Lariat ER's. Mine is completed now also.
