✅ 10/09/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[stevey_frac]

It seems like they built in some slack time in this build week, but not 5-6 days... I'm guessing our build dates will be pushed back 2-3 days?

Might be so, at this moment a 9/30 truck [build week 9/25] went into production on 10/7, hopefully the subsequent build week 10/2 which is also reduced though not as much is this week will begin to close the backlog, then when that's done you guy's will follow along right behind them. Hopefully that is enough slack that your week will conclude on time, if not it will roll into calendar week 10/16, also note I don't have any forum members assigned to the 10/16 build week, either this is a fluke of randomness or the factory suspended assignments for that week to ensure they get fully caught up.

My vin and order code have stopped working on the Ford Canada order tracking site. Unsure if that's just a 'we update stuff on Sunday', if there's a glitch, or if there's now a problem with my order.

I get this error message: " We're sorry. We are unable to process this Order. Please enter a valid Ford Order/VIN."

But the same VIN works just fine to pull a window sticker...

I have the same issue today.

That probably speaks to it being some sort of maintenance / glitch then at least.

It seems Ford is doing all day maintenance on the tracking database, hopefully when they are done some anomalies are resolved and we're back to more accurate & regular build updates.

Just checked my order from the Ford.com site, I am in the US. No update.

Heads up for your build week, the prior week [10/2] is running right now on a 10 day lag 2453 to be built, while your week has only 1767 to be built.

Hopefully the two VIN's I am watching for blend day 10/12 will run on 10/22.

According to news releases the Rouge has reduced staffing by one shift as well ~700 workers.

I'm still hoping for the 18th, as it's an auspicious date for my family.

But we'll be happy with a 22nd build date!

I'm delivered via convoy... how long after build date until I get to visit my dealer?

Built to Shipped could still be a week or two depending on load contracts with Convoy haulers, ask your salesman to alert you when it drops at the dealership, they will know before you see it as "shipped" in the tracker.

I am cancelling my order. I found a Lariat on lot with a deal I could not turn down. Picked it up today.

I've been trying to do this, but there's nothing I want in t dealer lots...

Based on the review of VIN's in the 10/2 build week, the production delay is standing around 11-12 days at the moment, @stevey_frac will go into production ~10/24 and @ghzt-23 on 10/27

 

[stevey_frac]

. Goodness. The delay seems to be extending faster than the days pass.
