A fellow Mainer! What dealer did you go through?
Go Maine! Casco Bay Ford. So far they have been wonderful, their rep texts me with updates, and confirmed that I should (fingers crossed) get both the private offer and the price protection. I'll believe that I get a unicorn PRO at the original price once I've driven it off the lot.

In other news, checked to see if the modules were populated (https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt/Details) and they are all there! According to the internets this means my Antimatter Blue baby has been built!

Trying not to get too excited, too many stories of shady dealers and day one reservation holders hearts being broken, but I'm living in hope and optimism that I'll soon be swapping my decade old Prius for a real life electric truck!

I too will hopefully have a unicorn MSRP PRO. I went through Quirk Ford in Augusta. I haven't heard much from them since i went in to chat back in November, but with all the tools we have to track I don't really need them to update me on the status haha. Hoping to see my modules appear in the next few days!

My blend date was 1/12 (yesterday) and all the BCE modules were populated when I checked today (1/13). So, yeah, if you are luckily they'll start popping up which will mean your Truck is coming alive!

So, just logged in to https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt/Details and I can see...something. Blend date is today. Does this mean that it's being built as we speak (and if I refresh more modules will show up as it moves down the line)?

My understanding is the build began a few days ago (there is a video out from Ford) on lines where the Chasiss is built separately from the Frame Assembly. The Blend Date is when they put the top of your Lightning onto the Frame and power it up - this is when the modules show up. All my modules populated at one time, but what you show was what I saw prior to them populating. GL

I thought the same but my blend was yesterday and now "In Production 1/12/2023" yet no modules yet, FWIW.

These may not be updating in real time is my best guess

Near real time, but the status of each truck rolling off the assembly line varies, some come to life without a hitch others a little gentle persuasion, when we use the service tool, we are looking at the archived repository of what was confirmed to have been successfully loaded to the truck hours earlier.

Post #46 in this thread has a link for Modules and Tear Tag. It only requires your VIN to see the list of modules.

It is for repair techs to use for diagnostics (I think) - but the list indicates when a vehicle is built to the point where the electrical system is activated. I don't do DIY repairs, so it isn't something I'll use, but it tells me my XLT will be rolling toward Memphis in a few weeks. :)

I still have no modules. My blend isn't until sunday. I will have to practice more patience. ?
