Platinum

Here is a curve ball for you, the platinum that showed up yesterday shows that it is still in Kentucky. SERIOUSLY FORD, that thing has to be scanned 10 different ways to Sunday and they should know exactly where its at at all times!!!!!

I just had UPS at my door with a package from Amazon. When I sat back down at my laptop I already had an email from UPS waiting saying it was delivered. Trucks must be much harder to keep track of than a 6"x6" box. LOL...

They do seem to have a 12 year old designing and managing the tracking and update system.

But not from the U.S., because that would be wrong. From a 3rd world country.

Interesting, because the dealership I visited yesterday said they have several trucks ordered that are still in production and not in transit. But the truck on their lot just magically showed up without ever being shown in transit. Maybe this is a good sign the more trucks are in transit than we thought.

I sure think they would be tracking a $70 plus thousand truck, guess not. Hell I know exactly where my crews are at on my phone at the click of a button.

I seriously doubt that Ford's INTERNAL tracking system could lose track of the vehicles. I mean, that's just too much to believe. I would place my bet on sync problems with the interfaces with the EXTERNAL systems like ETIS. Regardless, problems are becoming public knowledge. First it's the parts shortages, then the door stickers, now the tracking interfaces. I'm scared about what we don't know.

I do agree with you but do you see ANY other platinums or KR's? The dealer was as surprised as anyone and this is the fleet dept. of a major dealership in the Dallas area, they move some trucks.

That's because like USPS they have no idea what they are doing.

Another platinum delivered in Mansfield, OH. Already more than $5K off. That's well below even X plan isn't it?
