April Blend Dates Built or Shipped Pattern?

[ScottBB]

So, I am hearing those who have April Blend Dates seem to be those that are stuck in boneyard heaven. I am hoping to see if we can determine any type of trends in build and shippment.

So, here is my info (I have two orders one for my daughter, one for my son).

Order; 3/16
Blend;4/28
Build;4/29
ETA; 5/19, 8/20, 10/31
Current Status; In Production

Order; 3/16
Blend;4/29
Build;4/30
ETA;5/19, 8/20, 10/31, 6/24
Current Status; Shipped 6/8 ETA 6/18-6/24

Last built, first shipped. Are they finishing and shipping backward from build date b/c those are on the "outside of the pile"?

I know this sounds crazy but I was looking on auto trader and checking window stickers for their blend dates but I have started seeing some of the March/April and even May trucks being delivered.

I have seen May blend dates being shipped, I am really wondering where in April the hangup is. Again my April 30 is in transit and my April 29 is on chip hold. Wondering if there is a pattern to how they are pulling and completing. I know both of mine were on the boneyard on chip hold at some point but were May 1 builds just built complete or were they sent to the boneyard too? When did the boneyard hold start? What is the earliest sent to the boneyard that has been shipped? How many late April boneyard trucks have been completed vs early April etc.

I don't think you will find a pattern, everything seems so random

You may be right. I have not seen any April builds prior to April 30 that have shipped. I have seen a few people say they had April 30 builds that have shipped, and several May builds are shipping. I just don't know how early in April the hold started and what build dates are shipping.

It started before the middle of March, my built was March 20 , ordered December 28, and it is held up, Shame on ford!

Yeah, I guess I am trying to figure out when they started partially building trucks, and when they started finishing trucks again. How are they completing those on the boneyard, etc? The only "held" trucks I have seen shipped are the very end of April. Those in May that are shipping seem to have been complete builds. Sucks all the way around but just seeing if there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am considering reordering the second truck b/c I don't think I want a truck that has been parked from 4/28 until 10/31 or later.

DO you know if they will honor rebates that were with the original order? I was getting x plan plus $3700 in rebates. Took my $52k MSRP to $43k sales price. That is quite a dif.

At this point i dont care about the og rebate, tommorows discount with my new order is only 2000 less than my original order lol

The pattern is mid march to late April were sent to Area 51 (Ramp59). It seems when the production line is moving the chips get installed in parallel, until they run out of chips for both. The range of revised 10/31 dates across Ramp59 seems to indicate there is no priority based off build. Some trucks appear to be pilled on top of each other, while others are easily accessible. My best guess is they are going to go for the low hanging fruit in terms of access. I also think there is priority for trucks that are missing fewer modules.

It would be great if we could find someone doing the retrofits and ask them is there a method to the madness.
