✅ 11/06/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[moder8tor]

excellent info. Pulled my sticker and verified same info. Unfortunately I will most likely not be picking this one up since my dealer will not get me the 7500 discount. This is a carbonized grey ER Lariat with no other options and will most likely be available if anyone is interested. After they recode it to be on the market, the dealer will most likely extend the 7500 discount to the new buyer. My new stone grey model will arrive at a dealer 60 miles away from a different dealer today or tomorrow.

As mentioned in the 10/9 build week.

Subsequently, build week 10/23 will follow immediately on Wednesday and being as it's running 250 fewer trucks, it should wrap up this coming Sunday, hopefully leading to the 11/6 build week kicking off just in time, but if there is any remaining slack, their production goal was similarly compressed by another 498 trucks for a very low volume of 1019 Lightnings, ideally they will be fully in sync for build 11/13

Folks, don't expect to see any activity until about Wednesday, the 10/23 build week is still running blends 10/28 & 10/29 today & Tuesday, hopefully that's wrapped up and the 11/6 blends follow right behind.

No production was scheduled for the week of 10/30 to 11/5 while they used this period to ~TRY~ to catch up on the 10/23 build week.

I picked up my stone grey lariat yesterday. Totally awesome. so the 11/6 build on my carbonized grey 511A lariatt is available. I am sure my dealer will ship anywhere so PM me if and I will connect you.

 

[TaxmanHog]

Confirmed 1 day off schedule at this point, they should close out the build week on schedule and start the 11/13 week timely

@HGBlob your codes & tear tag are posted, still waiting for an "in production date" it should show soon!

@moder8tor It's my understanding that the $7,500 Retail Customer Cash applies to all Lariats if the customer takes delivery by 1/2/2024. Am I wrong?

 

[WhipSticks]

That is correct.

 

[John Becker]

That is correct.

Any speculation why @moder8tor was told by his dealership that he was not eligible for the $7,500 Retail Customer Cash?

 

[WhipSticks]

If the vehicle isn't delivered yet, they can't guarantee that it will be transferred before the expiration of the offer. I also have a Lariat on order, and the dealer refused to note the rebate on the offer sheet for that reason. They said that they would see what offers are available at time of sale.

 

[moder8tor]

Yep, that summarized it. My new dealer told me the $7500 offer was good till the end of the year but the dealer that I canceled from would not tell me anything like that. He pretty much said the price is what you signed for prior to the deal being out there. I have a lot of words that describe him and his lack of effort to make this sale. The problem might just be a unresponsive dealer. BTW, new lightning is fantastic, sales process was smooth, quick and friendly.
