✅ 2/13/2023 [3/20] Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[TaxmanHog]

@Caniki & @Jim Lewis you guys may see extended delays on your tracker.

Resumption of production is not on par with the pre-shutdown pace, build week 2/6 [3/13] is still in process as of now.

Mine still says scheduled for production week of 2/13. Good thing I'm not in a rush!

@Caniki You went into production on the 29th!!
And your modules are beginning to populate, should see a tear tag by Friday if not sooner.

 

[TaxmanHog]

@Jim Lewis I suspect your truck will go into production by 4/4 if not sooner based on trends projected from Caniki's build

And just as you predicted in another thread, on the latest window sticker version (3/30), my truck is now headed again to TX rather than MI as on the 3/29 sticker version. The MI / BUMP and the 7-memo (4) notations have disappeared, too. And if the 245/1406 means anything about sequencing, it's much better than the 1612/3144 listing in the 3/29 sticker. ? I love reading tea leaves!

All looks good, so your truck is 245th of 1406 with spray in liner over the four production weeks, hopefully the truck blends early next week, good luck!

@TaxmanHog, you are an ace at making predictions! My truck is now officially in production as of 4/3!

Fantastic news, love to hear this!!

Interesting that my dealer rep says he checked, and on his end, the truck looks like it's completed and awaiting shipment, whereas at the Motorcraft Module Build Data (As Built) site, Index - FordServiceInfo.Com (motorcraftservice.com), I still don't have a Tear Tag. And at the Ford Order Tracking Status site updated on 4/4, the truck is still in production. Ford Vehicle Order Tracking Home. No matter; just happy my truck is finally on its way!

 

[Caniki]

My order just updated to built, estimated delivery 4/24/2023 - 4/30/2023

 

[Jim Lewis]

Looks like I'm continuing to follow about a week behind @Caniki. In Production is now checked off as of 4/13 and the tracking page says the vehicle is built and will likely ship within a week. Woo Hoo!

Oops! Public tracking status now "updated" to "Your Order is Confirmed!" Used to say "Your truck is built and awaiting shipment." The tracking bar still has all the same dates but the completion check marks are now empty. Clicking on the Window Sticker link, I get "none is available yet!" Hope this doesn't mean that a major battery defect was discovered during post-production Q/A (and my truck caught fire!). Hopefully, someone at Ford just hit the wrong keys in entering a ship date?!

Clicking on the View Order link that Ford sent me in the "Your Truck is Built e-mail," there is no change in estimated delivery date. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing at FMC! ?

Also, FWIW, the United-Road tracker used to have a GFX-Rotunda entry when I searched on my VIN #. Now I get a "The VIN you entered was not found" error.

The window sticker still shows up, though, via the following link after inputting the vin#: https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin=

If I go to check the As Built modules at Index - FordServiceInfo.Com (motorcraftservice.com), I now get a error instead of a completed module list with a tear tag.

Error.
An error occurred while processing your request.

I had a Live Chat with a Ford customer rep. The rep said some problems with the website have been reported as of today. The rep confirmed that my truck is on a rail car headed my way and the 5/2 to 5/8 delivery date is still good. Hurray! The only question the rep couldn't answer is why Ford used Canadian National Rail to ship a truck from Michigan to Texas!

The routing map below from the CNR site ( Customer Centre | cn.ca ) does show that CNR runs in the U.S. straight down to Louisiana.

They use CNR all the time for traffic management purposes, it will hit BLUE ISLAND [IL] and divert southbound

My local Ford dealer rep called me up out of the blue and volunteered to sign me up for Vin View by https://www.freightverify.com/free-trial. The notification service is supplied via the dealer's account at Freight Verify and I get texts every time the transport status of my truck changes. So right now, the vehicle is in Salem, IL, with an ETA at my dealer of 5/5/23. I recommend anyone ask their dealer for Vin View text notifications. I know others on the forum with earlier orders got the same service from their dealers, when possible. The Freight Verify link I provided above seems to suggest one can get the service independently of one's dealer - but I didn't try that myself.
