✅ 8/28/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

Do you have an ETA based on others build and delivery?

None of the trucks built starting 7/31 to now have been shipped yet.

Ford has a QC hold at the moment to validate expanded production vs quality.

Historical data (MY2022) indicates mean time of 16 days from SHIP to DELIVERY to the Texas region, ride will be by rail, then convoy from depot to dealer.

Watch your personal order page or the public tracker for the key production dates, particularly when it ships !

Based on other posts, they seem to be a week behind schedule, so it will be ~1 week after your blend date. You can get the date from your window sticker.

My production is supposed to be this week as well. What's interesting is that my number in line on my window sticker is #655/1000. As opposed to the 2500+ total that others are seeing. I *think* by the vin I was able to see that it's coming out of Dearborn (as opposed to KC?), but why the lower total build this week? Per TaxmanHog, they're approx 5-6 days behind right now. I don't want mine to get built on a Friday before a holiday weekend!
Blend date says 8/31 today!!

Spray in bed liners cause re-sequencing of the production values x/y.

All Lightnings are built at Rouge Electric Vehicle Center at Dearborn, Mi

Hopefully your 8/31 truck will actually be built around 9/6 or 9/7, the factory is still finishing up the 8/21 build week as I write this.

Just added mine to the tracker. Where can i learn the ways of interpreting all this information from window stickers.

Your blend date above is 8-30-23. It was scheduled to be produced on that day, but based on all info, production is about a week behind at the moment.

@mapfel your truck went to IN PRODUCTION today 9/4/2023

Codes are loading!

This indicates the factory is precisely one week off pace and using the make-up period to catch up, THANK the members of the REV for putting in the HOLIDAY WORK HOURS to get the production rhythm back on track.

The folks on the 9/11 build week should kick off on time next Monday!

Good deal. Any word on the earlier production weeks getting out of QC hold and shipping? I am guessing many Ford workers will try to get maximum overtime until the contract end date of 9-14-23 hits.

The hold is lifted, a couple of trucks in the 8/7 & 8/14 build week have been marked "BUILT" hopefully we will see many more marked built in the coming days, then some move on to SHIPPED!!!

That is the case for many in each of the recent build weeks, each truck needs to be updated individually, be it for any part issues or just pulling them out of the holding lot for a bar code scan and update to "BUILT" status, this is going to take some time.

Multiply that time by 10 if there's a strike.

Shut your filthy mouth!

 

[casanewt]

I hate to speculate about the possibility of a strike, but at least Ford is in the best position of the big three to avoid being targeted since they actually put an offer on the table.

BCE codes were loaded in the Module Build database for my truck today! I'll take that as a sign that my truck has been assembled (or is close to it) and has a heartbeat! My Blend Date was originally 29 Aug.
