✅ 10/31 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

I don't know why the system never updated, but no one had more information available than the default "waiting for carrier pickup" that I already had from the FOMOCO webpage

There is a delay in posting data from production database to customer service (orders and public trackers)

My dealer had provided a detailed report stating that the truck shipped on 11/18. Ford CS however just reported that it shipped 11/22 and is currently in Blue Island, IL.

Called for the first time. The last update Ford had was on the 17th, rail car is in Illinois. Hoping for a new update soon!

OK. Dealer has provided a copy of the updated status report showing Blue Island, IL as of 11/22. So, Ford CS likely misinterpreted the status date as the ship date. Instead, truck was released for shipment on 11/18, and is enjoying the same snail-rail phenom that our friends in NY are experiencing.

Can you share your ship date and railcar # if you have it? There are a couple of Cali folks in this build week, and we're trying to figure out if we shipped out together (and then can aggregate our intel). All I have is a railcar # canadian national railways TTGX853634

I'm in norcal and railcar: TTGX158505. This a.m. left Texas. Guessing it's heading to L.A. area and then shipped on trucks from there.

Snails at least move a little. We are moving at continental drift speeds.

@surferjoe I did not get the railcar but CS told me that my F150 arrived at West Chicago on November 21 via Union Pacific Railway and as of yesterday it is still there with no ETA to my dealership.

Guess the rail yard guys activated my FordPass truck still sitting in Atlanta unfortunately.

Thats awesome! I've been trying mine for 3 weeks now and no luck. Does that horn/lights button work? Can you honk at the driver to go faster once it is loaded?

Careful, a previous forum user had their truck delayed because the Rail guys thought there was something wrong with his truck because they kept turning it on remotely.

Hahaha I’m not touching anything but the location button till it gets to me! No more delays needed!

I'm still stuck in Gibson, IN. Thinking I'm waiting to be loaded on a railcar.

Not feeling too optimistic about the 12/3 delivery estimate.

According to Ford Chat the last place my truck checked in was at the West Chicago Union Pacific in Illinois on November 22. Still no ETA.

We are in the same situation. Looks like our trucks will be on the same train to Socal.

Well, here's to hoping the trucks entered a wormhole on the 22nd and are going to be spit out somewhere near California this week.
