✅ 1/9/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Lightning Rod]

I went to the ford site (https://www.ford.com/help/contact/?gnav=header-support#chat) and chatted them. There's no holding queue, so you need to keep refreshing and clicking "Start Chatting" until a representative is free.

I just chatted them and got this as a reply when I asked them to check for chip holds:

"Your order status is In Production at Rouge Electric Vehicle Center (revc), MI. There is a Micro Chip at plant hold on the order. You can consult with your dealership for further information regarding the delay! At this time the estimated delivery date to dealership is between Jan-31 - Feb-06 which is only an estimate. You may check for general status updates online here: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/ or by keeping in touch with your dealership for updates as well."

I'm not sure what they actually meant by "There is a Micro Chip at plant hold on the order." If that means there is a hold at the plant or if they reserved a micro chip at the plant for my build.

My chat person said something similar. She said... "There is currently no ETA due to Micro Chip at plant on hold." I asked her does that mean that there is a micro chip hold on my truck? She said yes. I hope that it doesn't take weeks or months like I've seen people endure in the past.

Is your truck still In Production status or is it in built status?

I just chatted as well, and the chat agent didn't have any more information than what my dealer provided. The agent didn't mention any chip holds and that my ETA was Jan 26-Feb 1...

I'm wondering if the chip holds are on the higher trims/certain packages

My order still says 'In Production'. I heard the system is delayed sometimes. My tear tag was just added yesterday when I checked https://www.motorcraftservice.com/AsBuilt/Details, which was why I chatted Ford today.

Does anyone have an explaination of these items? Why do some just have a ramp listed but mine has several items filled in?

Interesting. Mine is all blank except for RAMP has "R" in it like yours.

My customer service individual said at Ramp 51, ETA of January 29-February 4th, but they also see 'Micro Chip at Plant On Hold. ' When asked for clarification, they said ETA may change throughout the order process and it is more set once it shows in transit. My blend date was 1/11 and is a Lariat ER so maybe the hold is on the higher trim trucks. Guess we'll see.

Mine too.

My Window Sticker shows the same information as you show above, except over BUMP I have TN where you have ME. I'm thinking those are State Abbreviations. But hopefully someone else can provide more information.

Just pinged the helpful Ford Chat folks. PRO with a blend date of 1/12/2023. No chip holds and ETA of Jan. 24th-30th, though that seems pretty optimistic.

Sounds very similar to the details I was given for my PRO coming to Maine

On first generation night when the window sticker is first issued, spray in -liner trucks will show multiple codes just like tucks not getting spray in.

The following morning (Thurs/Fri) the spray in liner trucks sticker is revised to dispose of the miscellaneous codes leaving only R above Ramp, a few other codes also change.

Thanks for the info!

Wow, the Ford chat really was helpful and knowledgeable. I'm in NC and according to them The vehicle was Received on Ramp 51, in Flat Rock, MI on 1/15/2023. The vehicle is expected to be delivered by 2/8/2023.

That's pretty optimistic, but they did not mention a chip hold and maybe there is more freight availability after the Holidays? Good news all around for me

May I ask, when did you order and when was your blend date? This waiting game is getting stressful for me lol.
