You got a shipped email? Where is chat telling you your truck is at? Ramp?
Chat is worthless lately. Waiting to hear from dealer. Last vvr I got the truck was ramp 51

So I’m still uneasy about the status of my truck so I decided to call on the chat one last time. They’re telling me it’s still showing location in Melvindale where the ramp is, but giving the same rail car# that I’ve been checking that is in Kentucky right now. Idk which to believe, but hoping maybe their system just doesn’t update until maybe it’s delivered.

I'm all over the Ford inventory search finding trucks similar to my order. I habe no faith ill get my truck any time soon, and then would I even want a truck that sat around that long?

And that's my point too, do I want a hybrid set of batteries that sat outside for the whole summer? I am no expert, but I cannot imagine it is good for the long term health. Not even talking about the obvious rust. @stans2000 took delivery of his January built truck and shared some photos of how it looked underneath.

Nevermind, I’m good. Called chat and spoke to a guy that said basically melvindale ramp is just showing as the last location and that it is on a train and won’t update until it’s at the next destination. Dates to dealer moved out a couple of days as expected and are now 5/20-5/25. Looking like I should have my hands on it soon after Memorial Day weekend

I remember that post.
Imagine needing new wipers since the ones on your brand new truck are dry rotted

So much for my excitement of last week. Just got an email from Ford. I really have no clue what to believe. I was shipped last Thursday. And now my eta was pushed to almost August???

makes absolutely no sense

I would arguably rather of gotten this email that pushed it out 2 months rather than it changing to a week out every time it misses a delivery window. Hopefully that is an accurate delivery window and they are getting their estimated timing back on track.

My chip eta is now July 30th. Fuck that
Sounds like we are all getting shafted at this point. 7+ month wait is borderline ridiculous. Only because of the hope of it being here next week to only get an email that it’s been yanked back.

4 months to get a chip in a vehicle!? I call bullshit on that to be honest. Maybe for delivery, not chip. That’s laughable

What the hell? Did you get that from them this morning? What was your previous date? I just tried to jump on chat and said about an hour wait so I disconnected.

I have followed the forums since I ordered back at the beginning of January. But never registered. This has been the most frustrating process. No chance I would do it again. Been on chip hold since late March. My blend date was March 24. I am tempted to order a Toyota and see if it comes first at this point.

Its a joke. I asked specifically for chip eta. My experience is chat only has dates for current status, so I believe July to be just the next wrong date
