I went from wondering what ever happened to that 100 bucks I put down in October of 2021 to an email from Ford this morning that my truck is scheduled for production! It's still a little bit out as right now it says 3/27. But ever since i was invited to order my truck on the 19th of January I feel like it's been a steady stream of updates or information. Can't wait for delivery!

Fingers crossed you are next!

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 ;)

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.
Thanks for the info. Just checked. Nothing. The way ford shares updates seems to vary from person to person. If I log in to my account and click “Reservations and Orders” it still gives the 3/11-3/17 estimate. The Order Number and VIN status check gives no shipping estimate. View attachment 6753
I agree it is different with each customer. I did not get an email this time, but its early.

I think we all agree, there are a lot more than 18 on the fire endangered list. It would be nice to know what Ford is doing about all those on the endangered list :rolleyes:

My Lightning has arrived. Hope to pick it up tomorrow. I sure hope this is a good sign for everyone else waiting on the suspect battery fire issue.
