Monday seemed to be a great day of moment for our build week, but I haven't seen anyone new say that their status changed from in production to whatever. Too early to tell, but I wonder if this means that Ford isn't working on Tamp 59 trucks ever day at this time.

Maybe it’s overtime work they’re doing on the weekends.

Mine is in my driveway. I am officially out of this build week.

The interesting thing is today when I was talking to the GM at the dealership he made it sound getting the chips into trucks is totally dependent on how they are parked in the holding lots. Last in first out along and easiest to move.

I really hope yalls get to you soon. It's been a frustrating journey for sure.

Bocephus87 had his built out on Tuesday. (a couple posts up) but yea, things have slowed down.

Has anyone else gotten static from their dealer when trying to cancel their order? My dealer is telling me that my $1000 deposit is non refundable, but they can sell me a platinum (which is not even built yet, ETA in august) for MSRP, which is about 15k more than my xplan pricing on my lariat. They have also refused to reorder.

I lumped him in with the Monday crew bc that's when his ETA changed from 10/31 to n/a. He had that disappearing window sticker issue right before his ETA update.

F150 2021 orders are no longer being accepted by plants. I have a non-refundable 1k deposit as well, so your dealer is just being as reasonable as mine. That being said, I think the spirit of the deposit was so that it would make it easier to sell a custom order to another customer should the build be abandoned. I think the circumstances of the chip extending deliveries well beyond the normal 6-8 week time frame would cause a dealer that's interested in good business refunding deposits. I hate hearing that dealers aren't refunding deposits given current circumstances. Dealers aren't having any issues selling anything in this market.

Yeah my ETA did update Monday, but In-Production Didn't update in the Ford or Forum Tracker until Today after 10:00. I think I recall hearing the trackers lagged a day behind, but it was interesting seeing the ETA update without the other. I'll see if SHIPPED gets checked by Friday evening.

It's only a hunch, but it feels like their Parking Lot Crew took a bit of time to train and orientate. Looks like they are tackling with a system based on the initial movement. From my manufacturing experience, training new-hires can be painful and slow at first. Then everything comes to life, like watching an old diesel warm up!

Nothing changed yet here except another week's window sticker. I guess that if they are working out to in..... That may mean?? I'm next!? 4/26 here. Its been seeming to go 4/31, and counting backwards reporting updated.,..
I'm getting so tired of this. Grown men shouldn't have to be stressing out about an order/ purchase of this level other than the finances of it... I shouldn't be spending my days tracking a truck hoping for a change and trying to figure out the intricacies of Ford motor company.

I look at it as experience for trying to understand intricacies of problems we normally don't have to solve. I truly think anyone who sat down and tried to understand what was going on based on any and all data they could farm likely developed stronger problem solving skills! Experience is not derived only from direct input on a problem. (Of course communication and a new damn truck would be nice too LOL)

I canceled my order the other day, no problem getting my $1000 deposit back. Then I reordered at a different dealer and made sure I could get my $500 deposit back on that one too. Both were X-Plan orders and both times I got lucky because I didn't know they could keep it.

The problem is X_Plan Rule #7. They should have given you their deposit policy in writing but they're not required too.

"The dealership may require the New Vehicle Purchase Program customer to make a deposit when placing a vehicle order. Some or all of this deposit may be retained by the dealership if the customer declines to accept delivery of the product ordered. An agreement in writing should be reached with the dealership concerning the amount of the deposit and the conditions under which it may be retained by the dealership if the transaction is not completed."

The dealer is a dick.
