@Jenbeth , just want to say these updates have been awesome. For one, the luck to get yours activated, but your constant updates and sharing has been both helpful and interesting. And the efforts to cross reference maps and satellite hasn't gone unnoticed. You (and the whole group here) have...
I don't have the moonroof...
Do we have reports of any decent amount of vehicles shipping/delivering since all this though? It could be something more standard
This is interesting info...but seems like a pretty definitive event...feel like it could have been chip hold over a month ago if a building making the chips didn't exist... Clearly the vehicles were knowingly set aside. It's all just still odd to me - not that it matters.
Just got word back from dealer, copy of my visibility report, Chip Hold. No further details available to them right now but will look into it. The saga continues - at least we get to weather this pain together.
Some good testimonials to be found in past threads:

While I DON'T agree with removing little features within a model year as we've seen - reducing the number of order combinations also yield a lower price point they are able to achieve. Of course we won't get a big of a price break as Ford will by simplifying, but still - this is happening...
Still same all around for me, December order.
My Ford Chat "delivery window" was 7/25-7/29. I'm not holding my breath - but technically, they still aren't wrong.
Thanks for the summary and effort!
It really just unlucky timing with this shutdown - we all were worried if we'd even make it out before the shutdown. It feels like it's not a coincidence that this mysterious delay is happening overlapped with the shutdown, especially given that it seemed...
Well according to their signature it's loaded up. Doesn't look 'shipped' yet though... so maybe something snuck through on the computer but that's all?
Oof. What's the build status? This whole allocation and build order nonsense is just that: antiquated nonsense. Crazy how many deliveries are happening from orders made multiple months after yours (and mine, a few weeks ahead of you).
I mean, I'm happy with progress, don't get me wrong. It's just odd that the following week builds are getting loaded on trains. It all just adds to this illusory idea that is Ford's production 'plan'.
