Good Luck! Love love love my XLT

 

Agreed! Just got my scheduled date for 3/13. Getting hyped! Just in time for summer and to haul my boat.

 

03/20 build date. Looking forward!!

 

did you get any emails with "your vehicle order has been updated" in the subject line shortly before getting scheduled? I got two just this afternoon; I don't see anything different in my vehicle order details (removals, price, etc). Hoping it's scheduling related!

 

I have gotten 5 “update” emails since I placed my order on 1/21 and only 2 times did it actually have a meaningful change. Once to add back in the heated steering wheel and once to remove the security and scales. The other 3 emails did not appear to actually change anything from what I can tell. I got two “updates” this evening 10 minutes apart but again no changes from what I can tell.

 

I just got it (about 5 hours after the build date). Nothing I see that's different. Glad to see heated steering wheel is back!

 

Our build date was week of March 20, moved to March 27. Still showing heated steering wheel removal. Lariat ER.

 

I placed my order on 1/26/23 and am hoping I get an email here soon that it's been Scheduled For Production. Hoping to have a delivery date before May! Been a long time waiting since 6/11/21.

 

Got another "order has been updated" email today. It's so hard to actually tell when Ford makes a change.... This time it looks like "CHMSL Camera Removal" but there is no credit for them removing the camera. That verbiage just shows up under the build. So not really sure if that means it could be removed, it will be, or what. I would hope if they remove the feature they give some kind of credit. I do think Ford would benefit from a little "update restraint". I get that inventory is a living/breathing thing and changes all the time but maybe only send out an update once a week vs 3 a day going back and forth. Especially if the build is not for almost 2 months.

The CHMSL Camera Removal is the camera by the third brake light that aims towards the cargo area/bed of the truck. Ford has been deleting features due to the chip shortages and many of these deletes cannot be added on after the truck is built, which is obviously not ideal and pretty poor on Ford's side.

 

I get it. What’s odd is there is no credit for that removal. At least not yet. For all the other removals there was some kind of credit. Not that I think 50 bucks for the lack of a security system is fair but at least it was something lol.

 

Must be nice... I reserved in Jun of 2021, ordered on Dec 15th 2022... STILL waiting on a scheduled production date. Received countless emails stating my order was updated and like you, 3 of them within 10 minutes of each other. But here I am, waiting and waiting just to get a date.

 

Hang in there. I do wonder how they are selecting what goes into production before others. My guess is it’s a feature or color or some kind of operational efficiency. Sending positive thoughts that this week is the week you get your date!

 

Seems kinda random how production dates move around. Has to be based on model.

I also got invite on 12/15 and immediately ordered. Took dealer 2 weeks to accept the order. 2 weeks ago got 2/27/23 production date which I check every day to see if its changing. So far looking good. I ordered Platinum in the Star White. The deletes are troubling but I'll just live with them.

Went all in for Fisker Ocean One in August because I had no faith I would see a Lightening before 24 and it looked like the One would arrive latest 2nd quarter 23. Boy has that changed! At best the One will arrive 3rd quarter but looks like I might have Lightening by the end of March!!! And the IRS hosed us on the One tax rebate even though we have confirmed order with $5K down. Not sure if I will keep the One but I have a guy who wants to buy it if I don't. Depends on my wife who would be the primary driver.

And Sunrun just called to discuss Chargepro and Install. Not sure I will use them for install but they quoted $1250 all in. 100% sure they can't find adders since I just built this detached garage with its own meter and I have new 200 amp panel with nothing but lights and 2 thru wall AC units running to to support my office which is in the garage.. The charger will be on same wall as the panel within 3' so no conduit run to speak of.

Really getting anxious to get my hands on the truck.

2/27 is right around the corner. You will be styling and profiling in no time. Let us know how it goes. I’m on the fence with Sunrun. Anytime it takes me 4 transfers to someone for them to tell me I have to spend 150 bucks just for them to say if they can do the work…. I am suspect. Currently I have two quotes from local electricians and they are reasonable. The hard part will be waiting on the charger.

 

Date moved from 3/27 to 4/3. I guess it’s not happing as fast as I thought . Still happy to have a date!

I did my order in October and still don’t have a production date. It’s making me think to not go through with my order when it’s ready.

 

My order now says it's pushed back for production from 3/13 to 3/27 thanks to the battery fire. Curious if y'all are seeing the same?

 

Yes my 2/27 also pushed to 3/6 We should hope its only 1 week.

 

The same thing happened to me my delivery date went from 2/11 to 3/11 right after the fire ,however my truck is in Brookfield mass rail yard and I am in Bangor Maine. The truck is just sitting there, I guess Ford must want to implement a campaign/solution before I take physical delivery. Lots of Drama!

 

I think I doomed myself with my overly zealous and positive "It's all happing so fast now". Pushed from 4/3 to 4/10. Likely taking longer on the battery issue to figure out what happens next. I'll keep everyone posted .

 

Welp now mine got pushed back to 5/1. Was originally supposed to be Feb. Thanks a lot Ford!

 

Same. I’m now 4/17. It’s moved several times from my 3/27 original date. At this point I’m assuming it will be late may early June. Hope I’m wrong.

 

Update: New date now 4/27. Third push back since the pause in production.

 

I don't have a production date on my SR Lariat with spray-in bed liner still and ordered October 2022.

 

Are deliveries of new trucks to dealers happening again or are they still paused? Ford still shows my truck as estimated delivery 3/11-3/17 (built 2/3) but the dealer says it’s still at the factory and they have no idea when it will ship.

 

My Lariat ER has been sitting in a RR yard since 2/6 and the estimated delivery was 3/8-3/18, until this morning now the estimated delivery is 4/7 - 4/20. This is getting really frustrating. I am guessing Ford had to check possibly as many as 3000 Lightnings that were under the battery issue. I know they are sending Ford techs on site to actually do their battery testing but seriously 2 months to do testing. Ford, send me the test equipment I will go testing batteries

 

I called Ford corporate customer care yesterday and had a conversation pertaining to my situation,my truck SR PRO is built and off loaded in a rail yard and has been sitting there since 2/1,he told me officially all deliveries are still on hold. I said now my delivery says 4/14 2 months in a parking lot ford has to do better than that ! I said, he had the tap shoes on and danced around the subject in perfect Ford fashion . I ended up with $100 dollars worth of Ford advertising swag ,I really wanted mud flaps Ha! but that wasn’t happening.Who can get something done about this ? There really needs to be a squeaky wheel in this situation what good is all this tracking information when it just leads to a truck in a parking lot.Just venting good luck guys and girls.

 

Sounds like everyone in the “built but not delivered” status is still in limbo. My truck still shows estimated delivery no later than today. That’s clearly not happening. Frustrating.

 

My status just got moved back this morning. Not for sure if you have checked your status by order number and VIN, but that is where mine was changed and now another month out.

 

Very frustrating,call Ford get your $100 !

 

 

There’s mine ! On the carousel of Ford Motor Car Company!Delivery program!

 

Mine went by super fast. I got the invite back in October for the MY23. I built it and put in my deposit and then got a build date of December 12th. That came and went and I didn't get and update, but then I got a notification in the first week of January that scheduled delivery was from like 24-28 December. As it was January I didn't pay much attention to that one, but then received a notification that it would be delivered between 1-9 January. Then it was pushed back to the end of January (like the 26-30 timeframe). Then I got a call from the dealer on Sunday the 8th saying that it was in SC and I would probably get it by that weekend. Then I got another call that night saying that it had just shown up at the dealer. The delivery schedule is all over the place.
