I’m one of the ones who pressed the Activate button on Ford Pass. Is there a timeout?

I think someone mentioned it was either 30 or 45 days.

I have been searching but cannot find a manufacturer's built vehicle waiting to be shipped must be tracked as capital and depreciated. I would assume not since they are slow as $hit to ship, but would be nice if they had more incentive to get them out of their inventory.

Worst case scenario seems to be “convoy” out of Dearborn, because in many cases it means a three-legged truck/rail/truck odyssey, any phase of which could take several weeks.

My truck shipped from Dearborn via “convoy” on 5/17, which I am told was really just a short hop down the street to a ramp at a rail yard in Melvindale, MI. Then it sat there until at least 5/27 before arriving at the KC rail yard on 6/9. So 23 days for the first two legs of the trip, and so far 6 days in KC, for a total of 29 days.

Still time for it to arrive this week …

I just got my 3rd shipping delay. It is now 6/25 - 7/1. It has to go from Dearborn to St. louis.

Not sure how it all works and I haven't seen them mentioning canceling it but the summer shutdown is coming up. Hopefully it'll happen and no trucks will be built, they can get their backlog shipped out. Probably won't happen though as that would make sense.

If it’s any consolation, I went from 6/20 to being pushed t 7/22-August.

I received a "sales offer" doc from my dealer. They are out of state, yet they charge me for state sales tax? I thought I need to pay that when I register my truck in my own home state, or are they doing that for me in this case? I never bought out of state before. Basic googling seems to say I pay that in state.

They messed up.. You pay sales tax in your own state. That means my tax bill in NH will be $0.

last minute late night googling is confusing.

woodbridge in VA seems to want to charge me some “state sales tax”. It does appear as if VA has some annual car tax but surely that shouldn’t apply to me about to drive my car out if state and registering it in GA. I should pay my ad valorem tax in GA.

can anybody double confirm my thinking here. They know I’m out of state, why would they try to add it? Additionally they seemingly omitted them 5% Forum discount too. So I’m really hoping they were just in a rush earlier today when they sent me these documents. Doesn’t instill confidence in the process though. They are either incompetent or disingenuous.

Edit: unless of course they are collecting it for financing reasons and passing is on to my home state, GA.

see my response in the other thread.... Yes if you financed they can do all the state stuff for you in the loan.

easy way to know about the sales tax is if its the correct sales tax for where you live.
