I "chatted" with someone on the Ford website last week and they told me that my truck will be in production UNTIL 3/22, which was my Estimated Delivery date when it was showing up. That kind of goes along with what you are being told, so hopefully this is true.So, I found the Ford Marketing number - (800) 334-4375 for those wondering. The nice lady who answered the phone advised me that my truck is (contrary to what my dealer told me) on a microchip hold. She also told me that while the system still shows a 3/23 ETA, she does not believe that is realistic. She doesn't know whether that ETA is really meant to be for delivery, or for the date they expect to get the microchip installed. She also told me that it takes up to 28 days to get delivered once built - thus her opinion that the 3/23 ETA is not realistic.(
I seriously think it's just a crap shoot... My Limited has been on a train since 2/17 making it's way from DB to Spokane, and I still have the Lightning as my App vehicle... But, I really hope it means something for you though!! Good luck!Posted this in my current build week club but wonder if anyone from my original group knows anything about this:
The image of my truck appeared in the Ford Pass app tonight. Supposedly my delivery date is between 3/12 - 3/18. I wonder if this is a good sign that it is actually in transit???
I'm glad it isn't just me with the graphic of the Lighting in-app and under My Account on the website. I'd love to know what that means and whether there's cause for concernI seriously think it's just a crap shoot... My Limited has been on a train since 2/17 making it's way from DB to Spokane, and I still have the Lightning as my App vehicle... But, I really hope it means something for you though!! Good luck!

Thanks Ralph!!! Agreed on the FordPass button. I’m getting sick of staring at a Ford Lightning and no FordPass button but if I’m just going to be given false hope at that point, this might be best after all.Finally done with daily IV infusions. There's been another truck delivered, so I'll update this week's spreadsheet. Congrats @JaxCaptain today! It's kind of interesting that some folks are on chip hold yet have the Activate button in their FordPass. Welcome to @Madeinchina and @thebigdu who have been added. FWIW, my own King Ranch order produced on 1/25 is still on chip hold at Ramp 51 in Flat Rock near the Mustang assembly plant.
