Ok, so I had a blend date of 5/8 and shortly after it showed activity on the BCE Modules, nothing yet on the PCM modules. I also show a tear tag value.
Your programming is complete, as I must say in EVERY build week thread, all codes post under the BCE header.

Lightning F-150 (some day)
Opened my Tracking Status (like I do every day) and was greeted with this this morning...

Ford F-150 Lightning ✅ 5/8/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023) 1684762725207


The window sticker hasn't changed since the day it was visible:

Ford F-150 Lightning ✅ 5/8/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023) 1684762805849


other than that the date on the bottom has today's date. I see others talk about tear tags, BCE or other terms, but I'm oblivious to how to search for those. But I do see that the window tag says "Convoy" for shipment, so I'm cautiously optimistic that my truck's going to be here sooner rather than later...

The window sticker data does not change as production proceeds, the date at the bottom is the date the sticker was rendered from the database (@today)


If you want to see your modules and tear tag go here with your VIN

Thank you! At least I see something new (like 300 rows of hexadecimal codes) under BCE. Will continue to check until I hear/see shipping info.

Appreciate all you do on these boards!

Thursday I got the email saying that while my scheduled build date was 5/8, there have been supply chain issues and they'd keep me posted with updates at least every 45 days. And then on Friday I got a text from the Ambassador that my estimated delivery date was between 6/3 and 6/9.

But my build status still says in Production.

Seems a bit too good to be true that it shipped a day after it was built, but we shall see...

Once all the kinks are worked out of production ..... we will see this on a regular basis, watch the ICE production line timing.

Meh. Blended on 5/11, tear tag on 5/13. And still showing “in production”. What on earth are they doing that makes mine different? Unless they messed something up and have to do repairs?

I'm in the same place as you. Wonder if it is the door handle shortage, possibly due to the red color that I ordered, or the spray in bedliner, though that doesn't seem like it would add much time.

Mine blended 5/8.

Yeah…I wonder if ICE F150s are having holds to get door handles? ya know, I understood chip shortages a year ago, but mid 2023 not so much. Just in time inventory management only works if your supply chain is as solid as Apple’s is.

And patience is a lot easier if the manufacturer actually provides accurate and detailed information. What specifically is the problem? What is the anticipated time to resolve? What needs fixing?

when you’re spending $100k, I’d think you can expect accurate information. It must exist in a computer somewhere after all. Sending a nonspecific email every 45 days is just disrespectful.
