Not even close. Many of us are still in limbo.

Interestingly, even though I am now in "Built" status, the recall check shows that the BECM software update (or module replacement) has not yet been resolved.

Yes, this is the case for all Summer/fall builds.

The production line base code is still out dated for this concern, I'm not sure which build week they will integrate it, but the condition is observable once the trucks have reached the BUILT status.

I went to a dealer today, and put a down payment on an Extended Range 511A Lariat. The SR Lariat we ordered online will be staying on the dealer lot until it finds a new forever home. So I am now back in the "In Production" bucket with a new truck still being built.

Have the assembly lines at the rouge lightning plant been stopped by the expansion of the UAW strike to Louisville Kentucky plant where the F150 is manufactured? Would this disrupt parts supplies for the lightning?

No, but they have cut 700 staff and one work shift
Common parts could be an issue, but so far they are issuing bend dates through 10/29

Well, it looks like it has been 45 days since they sent me the last message, which told be nothing. And now I have the benefit of this new message, which tells me nothing...

This is getting old.

Did you have any options on your order that could be out of stock?

Got the same email. Yours is probably built and sitting in a parking lot, like mine. They moved it from one parking lot to another this week, and I got a ton of vehicle alerts 5 mins ago that suggest it's being loaded onto a truck. Fingers crossed it's finally headed to the rail yard..

BTW, at this point, the "supply chain" line is nonsense. Anyone cruising these forums knows they're having no issues building trucks-- just shipping them out.

My truck is at the dealer. Picking it up Monday.

Brought her home Thursday. How sweet it is!
