✅ 8/7/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

My question is how is this possible if the update has not been made - how many IT systems do they have updating status on the same web page. As an IT marketing technology person, I think Ford needs to get their customer relationship management systems synced.

Couldn't agree more........ I have no answer other than to say I've seen it numerous times, they need a top to bottom sweep of front /public facing systems.

I got moved to Built this morning too! Funny, my built date is after the Last Updated date as well. Maybe there was a bulk update done to certain fields in the DB in a non-standard way and didn't trigger the Last Update field from updating?

Says my expected delivery is by the middle of next week. Doubt they're going to hit that date. The FordPass App shows my truck still in Dearborn. I'll update here whenever I see it move.

No email from Ford, except for the one taunting me to get my Ford EV now.

Hey all - I've been lurking here for a while. My truck just got bumped over from Built (9/1) to Shipped yesterday. This was after they further annoyed me in the AM by rolling the estimate (for like the fourth #$@%# time) to 9/26 - 10/3.

My dealer is ~40mi from Dearborn, so if it is actually on a truck then it should be showing up imminently. Could be a good test balloon for if "Shipped" means "it's actually moving".

Happy to see others moving to "built" and/or "shipped", hopefully I won't be far behind. I suspect I'm buried in the back of one of the holding lots. (XLT 312A)

If I were you I'd be stalking the dealership RIGHT NOW!

They teased me today and updated my last updated date to today... but still in production.. mine most be the one in the far back left corner and hard to get to.. (no that's not a current picture of dearborn)

Haha I basically was. Got the call ~2h ago and went and did a test drive. It fits in the garage (barely! Quite a bit taller than my '01 Silverado) which was the last remaining test. Boy does the collision alerting get mad at me though.

I take delivery @ 4PM tomorrow ET.

Turns out that unbeknownst to me, my wife was recording our dog Roy's concerned reaction inside. So I have proof that it did indeed happen.
