✅ 10/24 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Jajar1124]

Built 11/7, ETA to dealer 11/20-11/26. For some reason on the ford.com I can’t see anything because it’s “built through dealer” I constantly have to chat ford. So we shall see

Well, my status is now ‘shipped’ on the ford tracker site, but still ‘built’ on my reservation page

Could be worse, mine still isn't showing "shipped" on either!

I think all you guys that just flipped to shipping had the same blend date/built date as me. I'm just going to crack a beer, sulk a bit, and keep refreshing!

First one didn't work, must have been defective. I think I'll try a different one.

Have a blend date of 10/27 and still in production status. Ford chat mentioned my order has a chip hold. Fingers crossed it will update soon.

 

[shadycoh]

blend of 10/26 still says in production

I kind of get the feeling my truck was pulled as one they are going to use as a test truck.

kind of strange I was told around a week ago via chat it was on ramp 51

10/26 blend still in production for my morning check

my incessant checking doesn’t seem to be helping, lol. I’m hoping for some good news in the morning.

And there it is. I’m showing shipped on the tracker and on the reservation page. I also got an e-mail from Ford. Delivery is still showing 12/1-12/7.

Has anyone seen pictures from the factory? It is weird that I ordered Avalanche Grey and I still don’t know how that will look on this truck.

I guess its a holding pattern for me

It's anticipated to be delivered at your ordering Ford Dealership between Nov-15--21-2022.

Understood, these details were posted Nov-09-2022. We would recommend staying in contact with the Sales Manager at your Ford Dealership for updates as well.


JOHN

So it has not been finished being built yet then

Wendy
at 8:27, Nov 10:
The general status is still "In Production" but I do see why you were advised that it's fully "Produced" which is in our Vehicle Visibility order notes. That normally indicates that some last minute additions are being finalized.


JOHN

Shipped! Same estimated arrival dates. I'm the last in line according to the spreadsheet... at least until someone else gets in line behind me

Railcar #TTGX712216

 

[GarageMahal]

My railcar # COER900720 (Norfolk Southern Corp ) still in route to Kansas City. Not having great luck getting intelligible info from the rail carrier phone system.

Still hoping for delivery to my dealer sometime next week.
