IMO - expect to see your chip hold bump to September or October tomorrow.
I called again and you are correct. Bumped to September 11-17th.

2- All the impatient MF's like myself, will hopefully abandon our orders, buy one off the lot with a crazy dealer markup, and then they turn around and sell our special order when it finally arrives with another crazy dealer markup attached.
This doesn't benefit Ford. They sell to dealers at an invoice price so the dealers make out more on this scenario. The only benefit Ford would get is volume and that's constrained by global supply chain issues.

Another benefit to Ford in shifting raw materials to EVs is they get to claim that their fleet is better at fuel economy and may be preparing for the shift of states and Feds to move to EV only in the next decade.

Also, by selling Lightnings and other EVs directly to consumers through the order model a la Tesla they cut out the dealers and get to charge MSRP directly. Then your scenario comes into play. I think that's the ultimate goal - sell direct to consumer.

Time will tell.

nice thanks! Stickers to harness back to stickers. I like your idea of putting it on a strong flat magnet. Would have to be pretty strong so it doesn’t move and mess up the programming right?
Yeap, you only need it when backing up, so if you're worried about it jarring lose, just apply and remove accordingly.

I would think a 30+ mill 2x4" fridge magnet should be large enough and I don't think it'd jar lose very easily, I think you get two sets of stickers and can buy more, but 6x12 uhauls have been following me around a lot lately and I plan on trying the stickers on magnets.

To make matters worse, it's been two years and Ford still hasn't figured out that this may be the "new normal" (don't shoot the messenger, I'm not a fan either) and has yet to adjust, well I guess there idea of adjustment is prioritizing certain vehicles over others. ie Lightnings > Mach Es > Super Duties > F150s > Broncos > everything else...my RCSB.
Fixed it for you. Forgot one in your list.

Given the so called chip shortage, I'm actually surprised more lower trims with less chips were not scheduled this week.

For sure! I have a few cylinders about the size of a quarter and 3/4" deep to hold a welders blanket on a Traeger in the winter and those suckers are hard to get off. At 536# of pull I can't imagine the use case for that kind of magnet.

palsapp hack shows some movement, looks like the semi coming to pick up the truck has been dispatched. Still showing awaiting shipment, but I'm hoping before the weekend it will be on its way to Granger!

No wonder they are having such a hard time getting these trucks out. Who the heck parks loaded semis like this? :ROFLMAO:
