✅ 12/12 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

Not sure what this means, might be a short haul from plant to staging lot for long haul train ride, once train ride is done a short haul to your dealership

As always, I appreciate your replies and help. I just received an email from my dealer that the 01/09 date listed in the UP railcar tracking is the estimated delivery to them? That seems way too fast, so I'm wondering if it's the date to the nearest railyard (likely Commerce City Henderson, CO) and then United Road to the dealer which could take who knows how long...

Finally managed email registration for United Road tracking to my dealership:

I will be obsessively checking this over the next week now, too ?

If you have an iPhone I can send you a shortcut that will auto update you. Just need to inspect the webpage for the authentication cookie and your account ID

Did u guys register for an account at United or use delivery receipt feature?

Both. If you search on your VIN via Delivery Receipt and don't see your dealer, your truck is probably using another trucking/transport service for the final delivery to your dealer, though.

If your VIN returns an Order/Load# and your dealer, there *should* be a link underneath to register your email. I had to use Edge on Android (gross) to finally get the Captcha *and* Registration link to appear, though. Took some finagling but all is good now.

Thank you. Very helpful. No United for me I think

I could be wrong, too -- definitely not an expert. It's possible the truck simply hasn't been scheduled. With your Built/Shipping dates, though, that seems unlikely. Your dealer would ultimately have the best information for you on who delivers to them, of course. Keep us posted and good luck!

So....just received this from the dealership. Does the most recent status update today mean my truck is on a chip hold in Illinois? Please say it isn't so!

That would seem especially weird... I wonder if your chip hold was during the "Received" and "Released" period (~6 days) at Ramp 51? That would make some sort of sense -- not sure why the status/description line only shows on the top-most line, though.

This is also wishful thinking on my part lol My build switched to Shipped a few days ago and also shows "In Transit" via a Canadian National Railways car!

I'm hoping yours/mine are about to hop onto a Union Pacific car and haul a** out west

Hey Kim! At least you’re getting some communication…I have no idea what’s going on. No updates.
I wonder who in our 12/12 group will be the first to take delivery! It’s a slow race.

Mine is also at Junction Point. No mention of a chip hold. I think you are good.

@anthafied how are you tracking your truck? Is it through info from your dealer? I was hoping for a rail car number but they just sent the screen shot which doesn't help when the truck changes rail companies. I guess maybe a call to Ford CS is in order? Thanks for confirming your location!

I did get that my truck went “thru” Michigan. Not sure what that means xactly but it is motion.

I got my info from Ford customer service.

Received confirmation from the dealer that there is no chip hold on the truck and that it is on it's way to California. He said he expects it to be at the dealership by 1/20. ?
