where does it show your delivery date?
I don't think the sticker shows the delivery date at any point. The ETA and delivery dates are showing up on the various trackers.

Hate to say it guys, but if you don't have a "Release Date" on the mach e tracker (https://seg.fyi/mache-vin/#/details) or don't have the "In Production" box filled in, the truck probably isn't finished yet and is on microchip hold.

This is what happened with my 4/22 build. It started off with an eta of about a month after build date, but ended up sitting for 3 months before shipping. Luckily that 4/22 one's almost here.

Oh man that sucks. I don't see "Release Date" on any of the trackers including the Mach-E tracker. I also don't have the bubble filled in for "In Production" as mine looks just like yours with dates and no filled in bubbles.

This is what Ford Peformance just told me " Your F-150 has been produced (as of yesterday), however if has not been released from the plant for shipping as of yet. I do not show an ETA to dealer in our syetem. " I don't know if that means it's 100% finished or on hold for chips. No way to know.

It's convoy to the rail yards, and onto a train. You

If its a Kansas truck, it was likely on a convoy to a rail yard - I don't believe there are any rail facilities at the assembly plant. I think "Convoy" is on every KC window sticker. Mine went from the assembly plant to Richard Gebaur staging for rail. You may have done this already, but enter your vin at https://palsapp.com/.

I've been at an amusement park for two days with my kids only to come home and read these posts....I don't like the sound of what I'm hearing. I hope many of us are not on-chip hold. My primary status from Performance Ford says "in production" but my secondary says "built". This is from the raw data. I was told the start and end date was the window to the dealer. Maybe that's wrong.

"etaStartDate": "2021-09-15",
"etaEndDate": "2021-09-21",
"productionDate": "2021-08-04",

Yep. I’m getting myself mentally prepared for a long wait from here. Plan is to wait till first day 22’ bank opens. Then I’ll cancel my 21 if it’s not here or on the way at least. Unless they drastically incentivize our 1 yr old trucks it’s not worth it at that point for me. I also can get a few items I left off this order that I’m kicking myself for and maybe use the money I’m saving to upgrade to a Tremor or Plattie. Anyway. Still holding out hope of September but at this point….the reality of chip hold is probably more likely.

Yeah mine was delivered to Norfolk Southern on 8/7. I wonder if there is a way to track the train itself lol

My 8/2 build was delivered to the NS Voltz Yard in Birmingham, MO, on the same day. Still there according to PalsApp. BUT...I just checked with Ford Performance chat and they advised me that my truck is currently “in transit” in Moberly, MO. Moberly is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes east of Birmingham. So I assume my truck is on the move even though PalsApp hasn’t updated.

I guess I spoke too soon when I thought I was moving along through the process. My build was given its 'production' date on 8/5, but hasn't transitioned to 'built'.

From what I've read here, that sounds like a chip hold? Maybe I'll be waiting months after all. I hope my truck doesn't get too rusty in the interim. :(

Strangely, the window sticker link in the shop.ford.com site has reverted to "check back later" for me. Ruh roh. On the positive side, the full truck details have shown up on the owner's dashboard, and shows the truck firmware was updated on 8/4. So it seems like it's alive out there somewhere....
