✅ 10/24 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[jb56]

So for all of you who may or may not be on a chip hold, is your status still in production?
I ordered a Lariat ER with tow+ and spray in bedliner. My blend date was 10/27, my modules are live, I have a tear tag, but it still says in production with no other information.

Does that mean mine might be on a chip hold?

Its hard to say what/if chip hold means but I think the fastest anyone has gone from In Production to Built is a week regardless.

I'm In Production with a date of 10/25 as well. Does yours show a date?

You could be on chip hold, but there’s nothing in your post that necessarily indicates it. No one from build week 10/24 is showing as “Built”, yet. Just a few from build week 10/17 are showing built.

Have you done the Ford chat to ask them your status? They typically have more than what’s shown on the tracker.

If you have a tear tag could you still be subject to the chip delay?

Yes, sadly.

My sales guy just called and said that my truck has been built and waiting to be shipped. I'm skeptical. The tracking site shows no indication of that. 10/28 In production date.

Ford told me mine has been turned over to a carrier and waiting at Ramp 51 (Flat Rock). So, I'm getting similar info.

Not sure if Ramp 51 inherently means chip hold, but Ford said there's no chip hold mentioned or anything that would make her think chip hold, either.

Is ramp 51 like area 51?

Some people call it that because their trucks get stuck there, but IDK if it inherently means chip hold or long wait or not.

FWIW, it looks like @capt_ramius Lightning was at Ramp 51, but build week to delivery was just ~6 weeks (mid-July to end of August), which isn't too bad.

Then other people sat at Ramp 51 for a long time, of course.

To all the awaiting Fathers in this group for their Lightning babies, proof of life......

The Ford Pass app will give you a glimpse of your new baby, but she is not ready to talk yet...... enjoy!

Another thing to obsessively look for any change to! Hurray! Lol

Ah beans. Poked the Ford chat button and got bad news. My Pro is on chip hold now, they are still saying delivery to the dealer is still between 15th and 21st (which I find highly unlikely) but I'll just keep refreshing my windows looking for changes like I didn't know about the hold.

Did you have max tow or tow tech?

 

[granfaloon]

Welp, I chatted with Ford just now and my bare bones no option Pro is on a chip hold now too

 

[Halbach]

No sir. No options of any kind. Whatever they are short, every vehicle must be short.
