10/24/22 - Build Week - MY 23

It is just funny/frustrating that we are paying $1800 for delivery and it's taking weeks/months when you could easily get the truck in two days, probably in an enclosed trailer, for that much or less. Like y'all, my truck is sitting two hours from the dealer. I'll actually drive past it twice this weekend. You could pay a lower-level employee $15/hr to go pick it up and would be in less than $100 total for it.
Is Ford profiting from the D&D fee? Is there some benefit to these long shipping times?

I know... I'm burnt out on the logistics mess and indirect smoke and mirrors incompetence. My dealership ordered a 2023 XL on 9/20. Built 11/15. And guess what... it came from DRBN... hit same railyard as mine and was delivered. Dealer ordered. Now what's this about delays. I can't process all the acceptance of these delays without noone investigating or coming to terms with these fact patterns to better communicate to retail order customers. Wake up!

I’m sure there is Revenue share with all of this, you can smell the greed with all of this.. at least some of you are getting VIN view and other details. I get nothing from my dealer.. ‘still shows 12/22-12/28’ is the only response I get when I ask.

Yeah I agree. My powerboost order has been "awaiting shipment" for 36 days. No chip hold. My 5.0 order for 13 days is still "awaiting shipment" both XLT 302a trucks coming from Dearborn.
XL's & XLT's without Powerboost or special colors historically came from KCAP
I think Jim Farley needs to address logistics of delivery through whatever means he can. If I were a dealer I would be getting pretty irritated about being invoiced for a vehicle 7 weeks ago and not having that product available

This may be me... and its happened again!
New ETA as of Ford chat this morning going from 12/02 to 12/08 to 12/5 to 12/11......
I got emails for the order, vin #, being built, but I do NOT get emails on new ETAs like others have. I have to reach out each day.....

Not just you. I got the initial email when shipped with initial ETA. And one other email saying it changed. But I actually am aware of 10 different ETA ranges within the system. 41 days since shipped. Dumb!

whew, thought I was the only one being ignored. I don't get diddly from ford, or my salesman.
I don't know how they make a living selling cars these days, there isn't much of anything new on my dealer lot, you would think they would be chasing down orders from the factory.
personally I will be glad when the whole dealer network crumbles and cars are ordered and delivered right from the internet.

Wanted full name, BDate, address, if I wanted quoted for the ESP, wanted to go through their financing via filling out a form. etc.

Thanks. Hopefully that means they know something.
My MY23 hit Granger Monday and I’m anxiously awaiting communication from their finance dept as they own the next step per
Savannah’s email(snippet below)...
“ Financing will be reaching out to you soon to finalize that part of the process. Please wait to arrange travel plans until then.”
