Yes, same happens to me. Reserved mine September 2021, got my invite to order January 19 2023. Ordered the same day. 1st scheduled for production 3/27. 2nd scheduled April 3rd. And most recently 4/10.
After placing your order, how long did it take to get an email about the truck going into production? I ordered 1/26 and it still shows the last checkmark completed for order accepted by dealer.

It took about two weeks for me from dealer accepted to scheduled for production. That said my guess is they are not scheduling anything new until they clear the battery isssue. Again just a guess. Hang in there. We all benefit right now from them getting the next few weeks right. 🤞

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 :).

lol, I've been waiting since mid November to get scheduled. My dealership told me "should happen soon" and I laughed.

Between the time it's taking to get scheduled and watching parts get removed, I'm slowly starting to wonder if I'll end up getting a Silverado EV instead.

Just checked and production pushed out another week to 3/13/23. Hopefully the 2 week stand-down only lasts 2 weeks.🤞

New production date is 3/27/23 which with production restart seems feasible.

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.

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.

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.
