Man, I’m really hating a few of you guys right now.

j/k, stoked (and super jealous) of you guys not on chip hold and seeing progress. I’ve got my fingers crossed that their ETA for chips/completion are on the extremely safe end of things and that we’ll see movement soon too.

I got it from the dealer. Ramp 51 is in Flat Rock. Ramp 59 is in Dearborn.

Ramp 51 seems to be a good place to be. I was moved there yesterday and the tracker updated to shipped/in transit at about the same time.

Did you or @Ave8ter get a notice when your sticker showed you moved ramps? Did you get an email or just kept redownloading your stickers?

I contacted my dealer and they sent screenshots. Nothing on my sticker indicated where it was.

My ramp on the sticker changed 2 times. It started as CA4F, then it went to CC59, then it went back to CA4F. The ramp 51 is from the dealer VVR, sticker still says CA4F. Unfortunately, my dealer has a bogus EMail address on the order, so I have to rely on the Trackers and the Dealer (or chat/marketing) for information.

Unfortunately my dealer is trash and acts like he can’t find any of this information out. Wont look up my VVR, so I’m relying on deciphering information from this forum to figure out where mine might be. Can’t wait for dealerships to be a thing of the past, I can see it coming soon. Useless people who all they think about is money in their pocket.

I have been working with Chapman in Horsham, PA and they have been extremely responsive and helpful. Plus the price I got was fantastic. It is a $99 flight and a $45 Uber to get it. Sure have to drive home, but I figure I am getting paid $2 mile to do it.

I’m sure there are good dealers out there, but there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to order a vehicle online, build how we want it, make changes to the order throughout the process, and track the order with the same tools available to the dealership. The dealership does nothing but find ways to make another buck off the next guy, cut out the middle man is what needs to happen.

I know that with my next order, there are few highly recommended dealers to work with.. Grainger, Chapman, Koons, etc. I'll certainly go that route on my next order. Flying/driving to do a car pickup is well worth the savings and freedom from frustration. Won't solve the Ford lack of transparency issue, however. Ford Chat and Ford Marketing are almost useless when it comes to getting info on status up through the 'built' step. Ford has power over that process and they really need to fix it.

Well receiving a $2500 ECO in my email makes my wait for my truck a lot more bearable.

ECO?

ECO?

Exclusive Cash Offer. Talked to my salesman and he said it’s the same as the old PCO and that it’s pretty much just Ford giving me money to out down on on my truck. He told me the $2500 is also stackable with the $1000 incentive when I ordered. So with my deposit I’m at $4k down on my truck on top of 2% under invoice!

So I know I am on chip hold according to the chat, but today my ford app updated with picture of my truck, maybe something positive.

Mine updated last week with a picture but the Activate button hasn’t appeared as of yet. So hopefully it does show some movement for us. Seems like a lot for this build week are on hold vs the week after ours

I think most of all our 3/28 crowd is on hold minus 3 of us. I somehow got through but don’t know how
