July 2022 Waiting Room

[Jenbeth]

Just so everyone is aware, they try to build the vehicle complete. Meaning if they have 200 chips in inventory, they will align the production so the first 200 get those chips. I’m assuming their batches come in weekly or less. If a few batches are delayed, they move production around to make things work. They try to keep the line moving so just because the car before you got built, it doesn’t mean they have or don’t have all the same options. Just means they ran out as yours came through.

Someone stated they don’t schedule or start until all the parts are there. That’s not the case, they have inventory plans that expect parts on certain days. If they don’t get there, depending on what part it is, they rearrange the builds or in the case of these chips, may build without with a plan to add later. That normally isn’t done in the same spot on the line. It’s done completely separately.

That’s what happened yesterday (according to my now disabled FordPass). Mine (and most likely ours) were driven all over the place, given more fuel, and then pulled into the factory where they did some mystical magic, reset my FordPass (most likely installed the missing micro-chip), and ta-da, I am finally in transit. We’re all on the way, just a matter of a brief amount of time!

Let’s hope it’s that fast. Makes sense.

I’m still “in production”. 1697/2332. I think that latter number (2332) represents the amount of cars they’re building that day.

Added you

I am also one of the participants here that had their e-mail address entered incorrectly by the Sales Manager during order. No e-mails from Ford during this process.

Well, that’s me as well…so I called Ford every month to check. I’m 7 months in now… it’s gonna b probably 8 months before I get my car

yes, I almost gave up..,, but what an I gonna do, email a Toyota dealer to reserve a 4Runner and ask a Mazda dealer about their CX50? But Then this morning I’m back in the game.

I really don’t this is a chip hold like the previous one. And, I was later in the run numbers then others but got “built” before them… you know how that goes, like airline luggages, first one in last one out

I’d say those who doesn’t “need” a car, they can accept this process takes forever. But it is tough if you need a car and plan with the time frame they told you..,this market is tough for that. It is taking freakin’ forever. This is me do the reason I didn’t order the Bronco. I thought it’d take too long. I’d like a car this summer…..that is not happening

 

[Jenbeth]

Still in production as well

On OrderTrack, too?

 

[moose83]
