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

Got an update email from Ford, apparently I'm now Shipped and "In Progress". Maybe that means it is literally en route?

I think so, I got that email too and my rail car # that I got from Ford Chat was moving about 12 hours earlier

Oh that's great news, might actually show up next week!

Chat said mine was shipped by convoy and provided me a number. I found that surprising with how far I am away from MI. Shipped via Vehi-ship Llc

I tried the tracking hack for convoys but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there a way to track convoys without asking the dealer?

Looks like mine has finally moved to the "Built" status for good as well! Both the Ford.com account "Reservation s & Orders" as well as the Vehicle Tracker both show built. ETA of Feb 7-14th! No rail information available from Ford Chat as of yet.

That's weird that yours is convoying and mine is on a train. Both coming to Maine. Whatever gets them here!

Yeah this is what they said:

Shipped Convoy - Convoy # 2593779 (Vehi-ship Llc ).

That didn't look like a rail number so I assume its actually coming via convoy

Yeah, mine is CSX rail. It'll be interesting to see which gets to Maine first, rail or convoy.

It's a race! ?

Mainers, please share photos when you get your truck. I'm interested in how dirty the undersides are from driving around Detroit during the snow season.

Since I'm in the opposite corner of the contiguous US, ETA is 2/10-2/16

Finally switched to Built status! I'm only about 300 miles from Dearborn so maybe I'll get lucky and see my new truck in the next week or so.
Pro, deposit on 5/20/21, ordered 8/11/22, blend date 1/15/23, in production 1/17/23, built 1/25/23.
Dealer is adding $2k ADM which I'm not too happy about, but I figure I have just about zero leverage there. Assuming I get the $7K private offer and $9k price protection it will still be a pretty good deal. Not quite the $40k unicorn Lightning Pro, but pretty close.

Exciting stuff, sorry that your dealer is trying to grab some cash, but still a crazy good deal compared to current MSRP.

Got a call from dealer yesterday saying the truck is ready for pickup. Amazingly fast, only a few days from receiving the Built email from Ford.

Hoping for the best on your end and you just have the $2k ADM

Woke up to a pleasant surprise this morning, hopefully will be arriving at the dealer soon so I can begin the hopefully painless process of getting the correct MY2022 pricing.

Ford chat says ETA 1/24 - 1/30. Chat also says still IN PRODUCTION with chip hold.

My dealer rep says delivery 1/27 (tomorrow) approximately 3:30 pm. He said if it comes Friday, I can take possession Monday. I'm not going to hold my breath though.
