8/29/2022 Build Week

[JerryLZ]

So heres to seeing what 9/18 turns into.

Per chat - "Thank you for your patience, Jerry. Your vehicle is in production. When an order is "In Production," it is being manufactured at one of our factories. There is a microchip delay on the order. Your vehicle is expected to be produced and awaiting shipment by 9/18/2022. Once the vehicle is picked up by the shipper it will generate a delivery time frame in our system."

I have read on here that rail/convoy is only for the last leg of the trip. It could ship by rail to a yard and then by truck to the dealer. Not sure how accurate that is.

that doesn’t seem accurate. I don’t k ow of any dealerships that have trains dropping off vehicles in their lot.

my understanding is that if is says convoy, it’s on a truck the entire way. If it says rail, it is on rail for part of the way with a truck providing movement at either end of theshipment.

Nope. Its how the truck leaves the plant.

Ordered 2 trucks. Both KC builds. Both showed convoy on sticker. Both went train.

I called Ford today since I got the “your truck has been built” email on Sunday about a week after the chip hold email. They said it went from Dearborn plant to a holding lot, then off of hold and built email was sent. Now it is at Flat Rock assembly plant. Why would they take it 1/2 hour from the factory? Is that where the rail cars are loaded or where they do repair?

Almost same scenario here. 70 miles on Odometer already. FordPass allowed me to track whereabouts of truck. Convoy to Canada on WS. No clue what's going on...

I tried entering the VIN in FordPass app, but doesn’t allow me to connect to the vehicle.

Weird!!! May be deleting and reloading the FordPass will help. Someone has to accept the request from inside the truck

Congrats! I hope they have whatever you needed for my build on 9/2.

yeah me too, its been a little crazy. Still not out of it yet. Tracker says 25 days estimate for the awaiting shipment stage. kind of scares me but I hope that is padded from when ford was marking people as built even though they were really on chip hold earlier in the year. I don't know when they switched exactly but clearly they leave you "in production" now.

Update, order was January the day mine went on hold 9/8 it had 914 chips, an equivalent built Lariat has 997 from my research. Yesterday my truck was updated to 997 chips, last night the status changed to built and this morning it shows shipped. Good news fellas, I think our wait is nearing an end.

People, you cannot activate fordpass when in transit from factory. It is in transit mode. Stop worrying about it.
