✅ 5/2 Lightning Build Week Group

It means your truck is "alive". Modules "pop" once the truck is assembled, the 12V battery is connected and the truck is turned on.

It does not mean that your truck is officially "built". A status from Ford that your truck is built can take several days after it has gone down the assembly line. E.G. if you ordered a spray in bed liner, your truck will be driven over to the aftermarket shop to get that installed. Or if the truck is getting extra Quality Control checks. Those all have to be complete before an official "built" notification is sent.

Many folks who have Bronco's or F series ICE trucks have waited weeks or months to get the official notification their truck is "built" because it is parked in a lot waiting on chips or some other constraint. Hopefully with the priority Ford is giving the Lightning we will not run into commodity constraints.

Thank you for the explanation.

Now that the media embargo is over, maybe we'll start seeing Lightnings being built and shipped in our trackers.

What does it mean when a date shows up in the production line in the tracker. I had a blend date of 5/7, modules popped yesterday and there was no date until now. It now shows a 5/10 date on the production line, but it doesn't show built yet.

It means your truck left the assembly line on that date. When Built is checked it’s already in route to you. When Shipped is checked it’s probably at the dealer.

So I did a search for it and that means that my truck came off of the line on 5/10 and it is considered built since I didn't get the spray in bedliner because of the delays, it caused me in previous f150s.

Thanks. I just googled it and found that out as well. Will the dealer be able to see estimated shipping information before it populates for us?

My salesman and I discussed this yesterday. He says he knows his mannequin is on a truck somewhere because it's dropped off his visibility report (because it's in the hands of the trucking company now?). Anyway he says they usually don't know (or don't know how to check) when this happens and it will just show up unexpectedly. Usually about a week to ten days after it drops off their visibility report (I'm in N Alabama as a reference point).

havent seen anyones that says built in tracker. Your dealer has access to visibility report. It will have 2 statuse: one that will say in production (most likely tied to what appears in Tracker) and another column that says produced when built. perhaps Production rate is up, but modules are showing up in fewer days than the first retail build dates followed in this forum which was week 4/11.

You can see how many per state (that have provided info here) in the order tracker. Thank the administrator. 3 in AL.

Does this dealer list the FCTP (Demo) in their public sales listings yet, I would like to research and track the VIN if possible.

It looks like my BCE modules popped yesterday but nothing out of the PCM yet.

I'm pretty sure electric vehicle have an electric vehicle control module (VCU) and do not have a PCM.
