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

[Its PJ Bia]

I'm in the exact same situation. Wanted a PRO, order got bumped, finally ordered, and wouldn't you know it we're in the small group of Lightnings that apparently are either at risk of self immolation or are just being held for liability reasons.

But not all of us, apparently others in build week 1/9/23 are completely safe...

There's some individuals in the 1/16 build group that got their trucks delivered before the stop ship as well.

Y'all hang in there. I got mine two weeks ago - only held up a week in the lot in Nashville before being delivered to the dealership near Memphis. I'm sorry about the frustration y'all are bearing - but once you get your Lightning, it will be great. I've had 2 wheeeeeks of fun so far!

Is there anyone else who has been stuck in production like this since January? From all I’ve read I seem to be an outlier.
Both screenshots are from today 3/8.

I moved your post to the 1/9 build week, Sunday is the last day of production for the week.

Your truck is built and alive, but not updated as you noted above.

Hopefully it will be in the coming weeks once all phases of production resume and your truck doesn't have a suspect battery pack

Thanks for moving me over I wasn’t sure which production week information was accurate.

Do you think that all batteries in the trucks that were built and waiting to ship had to be brought back in and checked out?

I spoke on the phone with a customer rep today and she said that Production is starting back up on 13th but shipping will still be on hold for a while. I asked her what did she base that statement on but she couldn't answer my question. They ALL are just guessing because Ford keeps them in the dark just as much as their customers, smh.

I wish I knew. Some in limbo got trucks, some held. I got mine. Grateful. But I sleep with one open.

Just my observations from prior production issues, the trucks requiring repairs will suffer delays as the available parts coming from the battery factory will first be prioritized to routine production and excess will go to held for repairs and the balance to warranty work in the field.

So you agree with her that shipping of aready built trucks won't start back up on Monday 13th?

At this point I'm not even expecting to see a truck before June

I'm thinking built trucks will start shipping next week because there seems to be no issues except in the one pack that caught fire. They seem to word it like that fire was an isolated one-time event and the other trucks that are built and the ones that were delivered that week of the fire are all fine... but what do we know? Ford loves to keep their customers in the dark.

I'm afraid if that were the case we'd already have our trucks by now. If there was really no issue, the day after their news announcement they should have ended the stop shipment. But it seems the oppsite, they have all the updates for new production trucks, and silence for us with trucks sitting in rail yards...

She's the Ford employee, so I trust her word over my inference of what I've read on the interwebs

She just spewed what the chat people and that wack tracker says.

She was clueless.
