Mine is tomorrow.... I'm not gonna comment on how many times I checked. And yes I know I won't see anything lol.

I'm without a vehicle until the truck gets here. I sold my chevy 2500 early July. I'm borrowing cars from family and friends until my truck gets here. I sure hope they don't dilly dally. It's my daily driver work truck.

Mine is tomorrow as well. I was planning on cleaning up my 2010 F-150 this weekend and get it ready to sell. Might end up in the same boat as you!

I just sold my 2015 Explorer on Tuesday, driving our "extra truck" for the next few weeks. My blend date is supposed to be today.... F5, F5, F5, F5....lol.

Tear tag showed up today. I had wondered, it is not unique to your vehicle, it reflects what is loaded into your modules. @TaxmanHog has the same tear tag though the vehicle data differs.

I've been (obsessively) checking my module build data page about every two hours since my blend date of 8/16.

Just checked again and Bam! Modules just Populated! Tear Tag #CFX9! YES!

Order Tracker now shows In Production 8/17/22

I'm exited and can't wait for the 4+ weeks until it is delivered!

I was reviewing Taxman's spreadsheet and the P&D days for CA are closer to 60d. I think the overall numbers are getting better but west coast deliveries are not seeing the same improvement:

NICE! Yea, even though today is my blend day, I am still obsessively checking the modules. Not sure why, I know it will be at least 24-48 hours.

They are shipping a lot of trucks via Convoy to CA recently. Maybe rail is having issues and shipping via convoy is a mitigation strategy? IF this is the case, P&D should drop shortly, because it's a trailing metric.

Do you have a source for that? Not trying to be confrontational but I believe all monroneys say convoy when released. The cutoff used to be 300mi radius for convoy vs train.
I confirmed with my dealer yesterday that everything in CA comes via train.

 

[VTbuckeye]

All of the stickers say convoy, even the ones going by rail. They eventually get on a truck from the railyard, but they leave by rail.

Hm. If all window stickers say convoy, then my understanding is wrong.

Based on what I read in earlier threads, I was under the impression that the window sticker either indicates rail or convoy. If that’s not true, I stand corrected.

Don't feel bad, I was under that impression to!

I have seen stickers for other vehicles say rail, but none of the lightnings. All convoy and we know they are getting on trains.

@Sdgolfer - Here is one of the posts I based it on.

https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/lightning-order-decoding-tracing-guide.10224/

"SHIPPING
Now our Lightning is built, next we wait for shipping. There are two ways units leave the factory, by Rail or by Convoy (18 wheeler car hauler). Your window sticker will show which way your Lightning leaves."

Am I reading this wrong? CC @Sdctcher
