My Friday update from the dealer, so if anyone has insight and solid info on shipping or even can lay truth to this I’m sure everyone would benefit.

“Just a heads up there’s a hold on lots of trucks at the plant due to chips. That’s why it hasn’t been shipped yet.

We have about 55 that have been sitting up there for weeks already and they’re saying it might be another 2-3 weeks before they ship. Not sure if yours will be effected just yet but it sounds like it’s a far reaching issue. We thought they had secured a enough chips but I guess not”

I received a “your truck has been built and awaiting shipment” email from Ford on Wednesday 12/8 and the truck came alive in the Ford pass app on 12/2. So curious, would they really consider a vehicle built if it was waiting a chip or two?

That's what I want to know too. My dealer told me my vehicle was Built and awaiting shipment. Nothing about a chip hold. And can they see on their end if your specific truck has a hold on it? Previous posts about Mach-e and Superduty trucks seem to indicate yes, they can look on their report and see if it has a chip hold or other hold, and I don't think those vehicles were ever labeled as built until actually built and complete. They were stuck on the In Production phase instead.

But maybe that has changed.

My truck has been sitting at “In Production” since 10/22 and my dealer told me it shows my truck on chip hold. A few days ago he said it no longer showed on chip hold. So it could be accurate. It seems as if the dealer is the only accurate source of tracking. I’ve heard of many people that rarely get updates on some of the trackers receiving their trucks

I know, super odd. The text before this one was a screenshot that says awaiting shipment??? Everything I’ve read elsewhere indicates what you said, it would be in a production status not built. I’m beginning to believe since we were in the first 2 weeks, some of ours were held for QA/QC checks like pioneer had said. @Velkyrion I guess we’re special.
