03/21/22 Build Week Group

Hot Damn. For the first time I have modules listed. A whole page of them, all BCE, no PCM. Not sure what in the hell that means, but I do know my truck is going down the line.

So where can I look next or am I just stuck waiting for my email? I did get the spay in bedliner which I understand will add a day or two. I am a convoy so hopefully that will make up for the bedliner time.

Not sure if the sticker gives any info, but for those knowledgable......

Our trucks are still progressing at about the same rate. My BCE modules populated this morning, or at least I found that I could see them this morning. I did a rough count & was surprised to see that they number somewhere in the range of 500.

No PCM listed yet. Does anybody know what, if anything that means?

Any idea what is next? Email saying built?

Yes, I think we should get an email saying it’s built with and estimated delivery date. I haven’t seen anything yet on mine even though it looks like all the modules have populated.

I'm glad my truck is finally being built but I have also heard that you don't really want your truck being built over the weekend, just like any other business, the weekend tends to have less staff and less focus. My build start date is tomorrow 3/25 and my blend date is Sunday 3/27. Like I said I'm grateful my truck will finally be in production but I was just wondering if anyone else has heard this?

This email makes it feel real

I got my built email this morning!! Same ETA as you

Finally in receipt of the window sticker… build started 3/24 with a blend date of 4/01.

I know Dearborn is working 7 days a week, full 20 hours of shifts. I would guess while there might be a grain of truth in that the during normal times (but only a grain), right now I would think every day is the same.

I think this gets its roots in the narrative of the "lazy union auto worker." If you're going to worry about the mindset on Saturday, you would probably have to apply that to the first hour of the day, the hour before lunch everyday, the hour before clock out every day, etc.

That's what I was thinking, just wanted to see if anyone else has heard the same. I know there's a youtuber who works for ford and he was glad his truck was moved from the weekend to a weekday so it had me a little concerned.

My time in Operations, as a Manager, tells me that the weekend workers are a happier, more productive, group. Why, Managers are not hounding them to do all those BS Management tasks.

I work there in Dearborn trucks are getting made but with out wiper motor head lights and a few more things so they will be sitting for awhile

I was afraid of that. My blend date was two days ago and haven’t gotten a completion update.

Thanks for sharing that info! We would all very much appreciate it if you can also update us as the missing components arrive.

If ford marketing chat says my truck is “produced” and they gave me an eta, I wonder if I am safe from this particular flavor of bullshit. The consumer-side tracker still says in production, but I was told “produced” since yesterday.
