✅ 5/2 Lightning Build Week Group

If your dealer input price protection on your order, they will get credit for that $100, you will pay the lower rate, and the dealer still gets the $100 from Ford

Can you share anything more on this? I noticed this difference on my sticker too, asked my dealer who said "Ford does what they want with that"

I note that the 4/18 Week Production (According to the 422/422 Window Sticker) was Projected at 422 Units and 4/25 is Projected at 447 Units. Has anyone received their 5/2 Window Sticker and if so, what is the Projected Run? It would be helpful to chart the Ramp Up to 500-600 Units/Week.

There's a number that says 316/447 on my window sticker for 5/2 week. What does that mean?

 

[Sdctcher]

Your build is projected to be #316th in line for a total of 447 units to be built that week.

Nice, I learned something everyday. Thanks for that. Does the blend date of 5/7 mean that is the day is going to start to be built and that it should be finished a couple days after that?

I understood that this was the actual day your vehicle was finished. I could be wrong on that but I'm pretty sure that on my '21 F-150 PB that is how it all went down.

My sticker on the Lightning says mine will be the 273rd built out of 447 for the 5/2 week. Blend is the 6th.

The only thing I know about blend dates is that is the date the the vehicle body comes together. They attach the cab to the bed.

Damn I just made the cut at 391

I don't think the explanation is as simple as given by @Sdctcher. The numerators are not always in sequence with blend date and there can be multiple denominators per day or week.

Mine shows:
401/447 with a blend 0508
Whatever it means, I’m excited and feel lucky that it’s coming soon.

Let's try a little experiment here and see whether or not these numbers mean anything. What is everybody's number after the blend date? Ford uses a 10,000 number cycle, and my number is 8,542 and my other number is 316/447. When that 8,542 hits 10,000 then the number resets back to 0001. I know that these numbers are the numerical order of the builds per a message board of a guy that knew of it because he worked for Ford. So we can equate a simple math to see if those other numbers that have been posted on the board like 316, 273, 401 out of the 447 and so on by just counting the days of that number after the blend date and comparing them to the ***/447 numbers.

Post your numbers in a reply and then we can do the math.

My sticker states a blend of 05/06, 258/447 and 8484 after the blend date.

258=58, and 8542-8484=58. 316 and 8542 are my numbers, with 258 and 8484 your numbers. Your truck will be built 58 trucks ahead of mine. So based on this, I would say that anybody's number ***/447 is the sequence number that your truck will be built for that week because this little test proves that.[/QUOTE]

I did this experiment last month with VINs from Cars.com and found that the number is not sequential by blend date.

My sticker says a blend date of 5/6, 273/447, and 8499.
