Check the other build threads. Sitting in built is kind of the norm currently, and some for much longer while they dig out of the backlog in the parking lot. All the way back to the early August builds. The good news is I'm starting to see some pictures from people's driveways. So it looks like progress is finally happening.

OK! This happened this morning (says updated yesterday, but I checked before going to bed and it was still not built...

Ford F-150 Lightning ✅ 9/11/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023) 1696722595017


Red XLT ER 312A package with spray in and hard fold top. My has been stuck in production with no update date since 9/18.

I also got a text today from a Ford Texting Agent named David. Felt like a real person...he wanted to spend some time getting me up to speed on away from home charging basics (our 4th EV, soooo). I was not in a good spotfor that tutorial, so we are doing a followup on the 11th.

I did ask about my still active CSP 23B57 (software/battery).

"I can understand the concern and can provide you the contact number for the Customer Relationship Center and they can discuss the service action that is on the truck. The contact number is 1-800-392-3673"

Most of these updates always post the day after, the action occurred yesterday, in a pending status just like most of our bank's will list a transaction as PENDING, there is one exception, the final preparations is real time, as soon as the dealer marks the incoming inventory the date action lists right away.

Blend date was 9/12, flipped to Built on 9/25. Shipped on 9/27.
Very similar dates to ours (within a day or two). My delivery window is 10/17-10/30, but I'm hoping for sooner. Starting to get antsy! :D

I placed my XLT order on 7/19, accepted by dealer on 7/26, scheduled for production week of 9/11, and in production on 9/17 but it is still on 'in production' status. Last updated 9/25/2023.

I received an email from Ford on 9/20 stating "While production of your vehicle was projected to begin the week of September 11, 2023, supply chain challenges continue to cause delays and uncertainty." The bottom of the email says they will keep me updated every 45 days.

Not sure why mine is still taking so long maybe waiting for a part? I ordered the Carbon Gray Metallic SR XLT with high 312A equipment group and no other additions.

2023 F-150 Lightning Lariat SR Avalanche
After speaking with Ford Chat and my dealer, I was still at “in production” with no other information or details on my XLT SR. I mentioned hearing about the $7500 cash incentive to my sales rep at the dealership I ordered through and long story short I’m getting a Lariat SR off the lot with the incentive. Best of luck to everybody, hope that bottleneck clears out and trucks start rolling through soon!

My XLT 312A 9/4 Blend 534/845 Spray in with fold hardtop flipped to SHIPPED last nite...but with estimated dates of 12/29/1989 - 01/11/1990 (not typos)...so that is not confusing at all. LOL Apparently the trip to Portland, OR involves a black hole pitstop.

That will fix eventually, give it a few days to resolve. Did you get the email first or did you find out checking the website?
