✅ 8/21/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[John Becker]

Was able to look at my window sticker today. It reflects the lower price. Stoked!

I expected to have my window sticker by now. Build week is 8/21/2023. Should I be concerned?

Click this link, it will fail since my sticker has been long ago purged, replace my VIN with your VIN and resubmit, make sure the alpha characters are upper case.

My XLT SR is listed as "In Production" with a blend date of 8/21. Only add-ons are a spray in bed liner, the Ford Mobile Charger (wish I had gotten a Tesla one instead based on what I've read), and tray style mats. I just joined this forum today and submitted my info on the Order Submission Form. It seems like production has been taking much longer than a week, with blend dates in the first week of August still waiting on their "Built" emails

Welcome to the forum, there is definitely a delay of the BUILT indicators, though production is continuing, it's seems the pace is slower than the planned production, it looks like the 9/4 build week has been vacated to allow enough time to catch up and tune fir future build week volumes based on actual performance

I've seen no evidence that my truck has been produced or is "work in progress."
Hey, is this file ever updated for actuals? Or is there a better data base out there?

I usually update it every Wednesday or Thursday night when the current batch of window stickers are released, build week 9/4 is a hiatus week to allow slow production to recover and match the planned production, I was waiting on the off chance that some of the 9/4 folks seen stickers last night, unfortunately they did not.

Here is the update, also posted the July sales from Ford's most recent report.

Hoping to see 2885 soon as that is the Factory goal to be at a annualized run rate (forward looking) of 150,000 Lightnings

The factory is about 6-10 days behind schedule, as of last production tracker snapshot.
Your truck ~WAS~ scheduled to blend this coming Sunday 8/27 the last day of the production week, but likely won't happen until after next Sunday

Wow! Your resourcefulness is VERY impressive. Thank you so much for informing me and helping me to understand what is going on.

Can someone check on the status of my build as well. I haven't seen anything from Ford yet and have an 8/21/23 builde week. And I can't seem to get the link to work to check on my window sticker.

Your reply had me wondering how Ford can possibly make two thousand trucks in a week. That is a truly mind-boggling number. So I found this rather mesmerizing video of the factory. It still doesn't seem to capture how its possible.
But it also makes me appreciate the UAW folks who build them--as well as the insane investment in equipment that makes it all happen. I sure hope Ford meets the UAW's demand because those workers deserve it!

Send me your VIN in a DM

Decided to finally submit my order form. Been registered on here now for a little bit but haven't posted anything.

I did also try that link but it didn't work as there was nothing to input my Vin.

Edit:
All good. Just remembered how to look up ford window stickers myself. Glad to see it had the new pricing on the sticker. Not a fan of the delivery charge being factored into the MSRP. As I'm hoping that doesn't actually impact the sub $80k MSRP to receive the $7500 tax credit. Also once I get my X-plan added I'll be happy.

For tax credit purposes, the delivery charge is not included.
