Phoenixfla any idea how many trucks were scheduled this week?

 

Very few. Only 2 on the unscheduled list since Thursday morning whereas last week was more like 40-45. It would seem to me that they scheduled most of the month of September and now this week they just added a few trucks to those weeks already scheduled.

Not sure what they will do next week yet, but they should start scheduling October pretty soon.

 

They might be compressing or rearranging many of the scheduled trucks. Just got an email from Ford stating my build week has been moved forward from 9/13 to 8/30.

This makes me feel there is some truth to the rumor Ford is gating production based on parts/material availability (to avoid parking trucks) and that parts/material situation is likely improving. Hopefully other folks got moved up or scheduled for the first time this week.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

 

I am on the sheet and it says my truck has been built 8/16, but it hasn’t been shipped yet. Other trucks built on the same day are already “in transit” while mine is still “in production”. My truck also has ETA start and end dates much later than trucks that were built the same day. Any thoughts?!?

Some options are added after it is produced, which can add a couple of days..

ETA dates take into consideration how far your dealer is from KTP. A dealer in Louisville may show just a couple transit days, whereas some areas need 30 days or more.

Finally, they are almost always there way before ETA End, and usually before ETA start. The ETAs are quite conservative.

The delivery tab will give you an idea when they typically arrive vs Transit time.

One more thought - the trackers don't usually update for about 24 hours after an event, so it could be shipped.

 

The weird thing is that some trucks - seemingly at random - do not get released for a few days after they are built. There is no rhyme or reason when you look at options and destination; they just seem to get “stuck.” It is so frustrating when you see virtually identical builds just sail through unimpeded, and yours is essentially paused. UGH!!!!

 

Which options are added go the 3rd party?

 

Hope it isn't a QC stick.

 

So, it probably doesn't mean anything, but when I put my VIN in the Mach E site this morning, the headline went from "..... is in order processing." to "..... is estimated to be delivered to dealer in NaN days."

My build week isn't until 9/6, so maybe this just changed because it's getting a little closer... or maybe it just changed because most of the times these sites are just crazy... Either way, it's been interesting the last few days seeing so many people unexpectedly getting their trucks delivered when the tracking sites still show in transit, or even awaiting shipping! Maybe Ford is in a lull where they are busy pumping out trucks rather than updating trackers... lol. I dunno... Anyway... just thought I'd share because well, I'm just waiting anyway.

 

Yesterday the trackers still showed mine as estimated delivery in 5 days then I tracked it using palsapp and it had been delivered.

 

for some reason Ford doesn’t seem to be updating tracking info right now. Mine has been sitting on the dealer lot since Thursday. No change in any of the trackers. No email from Ford saying delivered.

 

I know the spray in bed liner is one however mine got it and it wasn't delayed.

 

Yeah, this is what I mean! I saw another user with a 9/13 build week get moved up to 8/30 also with a pretty similar build to mine. Who knows what's going on, but it does look like things are getting done...

 

Took delivery on Thursday, and very happy so far. For those of you still waiting, hang in there, it's worth the wait! She's a Lariat Value, CCSB, 7.3L, 4.3 axles, 20" wheels and a bunch of other goodies because I only wanted to cry once. I've only got about 200 miles on her so far, but I thought I'd share my first impressions to give those of you still waiting something to look forward to. 1) The 7.3 pours out power effortlessly. I'm playing nice with her the first 1000 miles, but I made a few passes on I-65 and had plenty of pedal to spare. 2) The 10 speed tranny is smooth as butter, can't feel her shifting at all. A bit surprised (but not disappointed) to see her in 10th gear at 45 to 50 mph. 3) The cabin is fairly quiet, no complaints. 4) The ride comfort is not bad at all with an empty bed, no complaints. 5) I was expecting worse after reading reviews, but the B&O sound system is not bad at all to my ears. I'll preface that by saying I do love my music, but 12 is loud enough for a guy in his 60's. If you're that guy whose bass notes can be heard a block away you might have a different opinion, so please don't flame me. 6) Automatic high beams and rain sensing wipers both work flawlessly so far. 7) Very happy with Stone Gray, which was a last minute decision. She's dirty in this picture, been raining here in TN.

 

Agreed something is up with the tracking system. I had a few trucks go from in transit to dropping out of the database. They never showed delivered. Usually the database will respond for about a week after delivery.

Plus, we should show 4-5 trucks delivered every day, and we're not. Hopefully they get it corrected soon.
