With all those spare parts they have available

Just swap out a few battery packs, easy peasy.

Ok... just for clarity, are they saying that people with BUILT status are good-to-go, or no?

...all F-150 Lightnings already built and at dealers are cleared for scheduled delivery.

 

[Gewalt]

The way I read this is that any F150 Lightning not already at the dealer is stuck in purgatory until the scope of the issue is determined/issue is resolved

 

[Lightning Rod]

They all may have to go back to the factory to get parts fixed/replaced. This may take weeks or months.

No. If your truck is not at the dealer, it will be held until Ford releases the Stop Production / Stop Shipment order.

I guess we can forget about that March 2023 deadline.

I just spoke with Ford customer service and he said he hadn't heard of any halt and my build/shipping status is the same as it was yesterday.

Maybe that article was BS?

I can assure you the article is not BS. If anyone has dealt with Ford customer service throughout this process, you know they do not have any information at their disposal. Trucks are in a stop production / stop shipment.

 

[EVMainer]

The various articles all say that Ford confirmed it. Classic move to keep your customer service in the dark.

Gave up on my price protected 23 SR XLT today and bought a 22 ERXLT mannequin paid over sticker but cheaper than current prices and locking in my fed rebate. Picking it up Friday. 3k over. Not to bad. Fords communication has sucked butt.

I'm kind of wondering this as well... Has that March deadline been pushed back at all or is it still March 1st? Really hoping to get that credit.

It's incredibly unclear at the moment. Treasury/IRS said they'll release their final guidance in March. When we don't know. Also hard to know if the guidance will be in effect from that date it's issued, or some date after that. In short, before the final guidance you'll get the $7500 regardless of the battery minerals/components, and after that ?????

Keep your hopes up! My dealer called and my Lightning showed up this morning and is being unloaded from the transport truck! No notice from Ford. Bolt out of the Blue!
