I just called the Ford chat and inquired about my order and they offered it up, but I do believe it falls under the bonus incentive for customer orders made before May 13th.
Well up until about 18 months ago there was no real incentive for them to build their own plant now was there? I mean you're talking about huge expenditures and really let's be honest do we think Ford is the best manufacturer of microchips or is it Samsung, Intel, or TSM? Ford's in the...
To be fair there's literally nothing that Ford as a company can do to combat a global shortage of chips. I assure you that they would rather be able to produce any vehicle as quickly as they can and bring it to market. Whether that be a customer's special order or a dealer stock allocation. They...
I thought you ordered a 2023 a few days ago, and just received your first email. Maybe finding one that's close to your specs on a lot might be the way to go. Either way good luck on the search for the next vehicle.
You're going to see cars move down the line that have been built much later than yours. The factory is going to send them down the line in order that they receive the proper chips that are coded to the specific VIN. Your chip may not be ready yet. Nothing to do now but wait.
Yeah, I asked for an update yesterday evening, but I haven't heard anything back yet which is weird usually they reply by the next morning at the latest. Could be that my guy Rich is off or something. Sometimes I wonder how some of these dealers stay in business with their level of customer...
I believe all the modules are serial linked to a specific VIN for warranty information. So it seems as if this particular batch of modules has been delayed. Maybe they got held up in shipping or the vendor Ford gets them from just didn’t send them. So Ford can’t just put another module assigned...
In Production
Your order is being manufactured at one of our factories. This can take a few days. When you have a moment, tryout the link to your Window Sticker that is now available lower on the page.
Ford should change this to, "This can take a few days to a few months. When you have a moment...
I wouldn't worry about yours too much, Ford is building and shipping BS with the same level trim and options as ours after ours were held with a chip shortage. Probably some issue with the modules coded for our VINs didn't arrive or something.
It is definitely frustrating having to wait, but if I were in your situation I might just have to tell Ford to shove it. I mean you reasonably NEED the car before the winter. It looks less and less likely that this will happen. Down here Jeeps are readily available and will do what the BS will...
