✅ 10/24 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Shady]

I think you have to call ford customer care.

For me its not a huge thing your not going to speed it up and they don't always meet the date they give you.

My in production date is 10/28. How do I determine the estimated delivery date?

Thanks. You can either call or chat with Ford support. They will give you the "Estimated Arrival Date". We have been getting conflicting info on what exactly this date means. It's either the date the truck is estimated to be built or the date it's estimated to arrive at the dealer. Point being, take those dates with a grain of salt.

Hey 10/24 Build Groupers,

Based on the member data I've collected thus far, everyone should have an In Production Date. I'm seeing a very strong trend for your build week that In Production happens the same day as your Blend Date. For the previous 10/17 build week, we were seeing anywhere from same day to 3 days. I love seeing Ford tightening up their process. Let's hope this trend continues with next week's 10/31 group.

Build Week	Members	Has an In Production Date	Avg Days To In Prod From Blend	Min Days To In Prod From Blend	Max Days To In Prod From Blend
10/17/2022	15	14	1	0	3
10/24/2022	15	11	0	0	1

Despite this trend, I would like to still hear from your if I don't have a In Production entry for your truck. And as always, please continue to post up your various milestones as we all work towards that lauded CY22 delivery date for that sweet sweet tax credit.

How did you know my in production before me?! Haha

I didn’t find it until I saw you had it listed here.

Now I have modules, too!

You submitted your VIN to the forum order tracker!

 

[GarageMahal]

Chatted with Ford online:

Your vehicle is currently in production with a microchip hold. The ETA for completion is 11/11.

Kinda wish I didn't...

what do you see online? do you have a tear tag

Bummer, I wonder what chip(s) it is?

I have the same options on my Pro (minus the tailgate step that presumably doesn’t have any).

And which online chat system is this? I should ask about mine then maybe we’ll get some data that could maybe point to what chip it might be.

 

[GarageMahal]

Yes to tear tag. Tracking show in production.

And which online chat system is this? I should ask about mine then maybe we’ll get some data that could maybe point to what chip it might be.

From the contact option on ford.com. I had a 30 minute wait however.

Oh, forgot about that! Well, thanks for the inadvertent heads-up that it was in production! haha

I may have to try that tomorrow, then, when the chat is open again!

 

[GarageMahal]

One thing that I noticed is that on the "As Built" webpage I see lots of module info under BCE but nothing under PCM. I suspect that is not normal and may be an indication that the chips critical to PCM are not yet installed.

The lightning doesn’t get PCM modules

I check this forum far more often than I care to admit, so of course I went to reconfirm my tear tag and….it is gone. Let’s hope it is a minor Halloween hiccup as I’ve got a killer interest rate, tax credit, and our collective PCO’s (they expire 1/2/23) at stake here. Let’s hope we haven’t fallen into the early August build week quicksand!
