Ford tracker started working again and has changed my ETA from 9/14 to N/A, but nothing else is new. Currently 2am, so hopefully it will have better news for me later on today.

Well, the API data hasn't changed yet, but the Ford order tracker site has removed the ETA data for me. I guess "I dunno" is a better answer than making stuff up that isn't going to happen.

Same update for me as well.
Estimated delivery date changed from 9/14 to N/A.

I personally think this is an automatic update as today is 9/14 and the tracking tool can't show an error.

To further illustrate the insanity and frustration with all of this, I went back and checked my original order. Not surprisingly, it's still on chip hold sitting in Dearborn.

I mentioned finding another PB Lariat 501A en route to my local dealership, which was a dealer order submitted to Ford about 3 weeks after mine. In fact, I'm picking it up this afternoon.

It's similarly equipped to my order, but does include max tow and power tailgate, neither of which I added to my order. It's blend date was 9/01 and it not only shipped immediately, but arrived here in DFW on Sunday the 12th, along with a second truck that was equipped just the same as this iconic silver model, only in agate black.

Again, the only thing I can figure is that the single shift at Dearborn has re-prioritized dealer stock over customer orders as chip stock and the model year runs out.

I just got back from my twice a month visit to the dealer. It's nice when several of the employees know your name and you don't have to give them any info to get an update. My truck is still on Chip Hold!!! I see no update on any of the trackers but I did get good news. The inventory manager was able to lock in my PCO of $2500 and with all current incentives, I have a total of 5k in incentives locked in as of today. If they are better at the time of delivery I will get those. They also said they are hearing the 2022 build start date is going to get pushed back possibly into early 2022. I think at this point that's pure rumor. I was planning on ordering a 2022 but I am going to hold off and wait for this one.

The Ford official tracker appears to have dropped the ETA for most of us (including mine). But, the seg.fyi mach-e tracker and f150gen14 tracker still show my latest ETA of 9/14. (Ahem!... today... ahem. ;))

All of these trackers pull from the same data source, as I understand, so I wouldn't worry about the ETA disappearing at this point. My theory is Ford probably directed their front-end page developers to remove the ETA from display given the volatility. Imagine it would be a bigger task to actually remove the ETA field from the back-end data source hence, why ETA still shows on other trackers.

My VVR says chip hold again.

Looks like Ford is building dealer cars to hit numbers before wrapping up the current year model.

Any idea why mine has just been returning null for about a week and the Ford tracker site just gives an error?

Finally, after being "in transit" for over a month, it shows up. It was worth the wait. Order accepted 5/14, received 9/14, lol.

I dont know. Maybe your data got dropped on the server backend for some reason - may just be a clerical thing since it appears they updated the tracker page today. Could be something with your browser. Can you see other builds in the tracker from your browser successfully?

If you want me to try from here, DM me your order#/VIN and I'll try from my browser. I've seen issues in the past where my productuon info shows on my network at work but shows differently or fails on my home network. It appears they have multiple servers on the backend hosting this data or it's being cached at different places for different networks.
