If I've been watching the dates somewhat closely - it seems we have none scheduled the week of Memorial Day - May 30, 31. If someone has seen one, then I overlooked it, but I've been watching. My truck is scheduled for Friday before Memorial Day - wondering if they use that week as catch up, or just know they've got a parts delay of some sort, or could they have enough trucks built by then to do tweaks on the line? Could we see a "Job 2" that early in the process? Just speculating.

Mine has been scheduled for the week of May 30 for quite some time: That seemed to be the last production scheduled week before Ford took a month's hiatus on scheduling more Lightnings.

There are 11 of us in the order tracker with 5/30 build weeks.

I'm looking very hard at the xc60 or xc90 phev. They have improved it for 2022 with more range..up to 35mi and a stronger rear motor so it is drivable in EV mode. With the improved hybrid system it now has 450hp. 0-60 in about 4.5s. Much improved over the older phev hybrid system. I've always liked Volvos...
I believe the new, bigger battery makes it qualify for the full tax credit, which for PHEVs is based on battery size.
My wife is looking seriously at the XC90. We drove one - it’s a very nice car.

When you are in the Backdoor tracker, you can decode the HTML page and find info like your build date, VIN, etc. Here is one from a few months ago:

Step 1. Go to the Backdoor Tracker
Step 2. Open the Browser Console . Click and hold Ctrl + Shift + J
- Browser console will open on the right side of the screen
Step 3. Select "Network" on the top of the screen.
Step 4. Refresh your order page.
Step 5. Find your Order Number in the "Name" section. It is toward the bottom of the scroll. It will look like this: 10322735?lang=en_us&inclu (also highlighted below) Click on that line.
Step 6. In the fields on the right open up the sections by clicking on the arrows pointing to the right. You can see the Built Week just below the "Entries" section.

Yes it is....Volvo has said they are eligible for the full tax credit.

Also rear motor(EV) is 150hp..capable of running in EV mode under most conditions

450hp.....thing rips 0-60mph in 4.5s

Only thing about the xc90..the xc90 has the older infotainment system. The xc60 has transitioned over to a Google based system. Very sharp and better than the old volvo system. I anticipate the new Google system will be introduced on the '23 xc90...volvo is expanding it across the entire vehicle lineup

I don't mind the old system. We have both in the old in the xc90 and new in the xc40 EV. If only they would put the lane keeping assist toggle back on the steering wheel buttons, not buried in a menu in the center display. Our xc90t8 is plenty fast, the xc40 is faster and much quieter under wide open throttle.

Now let's see if Ford can get me a scheduled build week? I'll talk Volvo and EV until then. The Tacoma will be replaced with the lightning.

I was considering the XC90 many years ago before the current generation was released- but went with the GL350 instead. One thing that really impressed me was the rollover video of them crash testing the XC90 in a rollover.
