@KatieF34 . You were just waiting for the last one to be complete (something like no one left behind alone)and we will all ship out in the next couple days I think…. ?

Thank you guys. So we can be pretty confident this is a shipping issue and we aren't waiting on chips. I just find it interesting that we're already seeing holdups even though the rail strike hasn't technically started (and as previously stated, probably won't be allowed to take place).
Wonder if the delay we're seeing is more related to the flooding in Hermosillo and has nothing to do with any strikes just yet. It's only a 5 hour drive from me. Wish I could just go pick it up.

This has been a 7 month process for me.. I've learned you can't really be sure of anything. But, I have been reading a bit about how it could be a flooding issue.. also possible embargos. Could be anything really!

Yeah, if they would let me, I’d fly down and get mine too.
If a vehicle is built without a chip, what would the process be for adding the chip later on?
Would it require removing a portion of the dash, for example?

You would have thought that instead of waiting in Mexico for a chip the time waiting could have been spent in transport and then have the dealer install the chip.

It all depends on where the missing chip needs to be placed. They aren't all under the dash.

Just talked to Ford again today. They swear it’s gonna be on the next train out of town, and that the only reason it shows “in production” is because someone hasn’t finished the paperwork. No chip holds.
My phone call was not so good today. Pushed my delivery to the end of Sep. still sitting waiting to ship. ?
Mine is still showing In Production, tried calling Ford just now and it keeps directing me to their marketing department and saying they’re closed, even though Ford Customer Service is open till 11pm EST.

I'm having a nice glass of wine for all of us awaiting shipping right now. It's magic wine, meaning we will all ship out tomorrow. Guaranteed. ?
For real though, we are so lucky to not be caught in a chip hold. We aren't randomly stalled at some phase in the process. Our vehicles actually exist after months and months of waiting and I couldn't be more thankful. At this point, we're on the final step. I'm not anxious, just excited. I wouldn't obsess too much over tracking the shipping process, just coast along and be pleasantly surprised when things start moving.
We're all on the same boat (or train)!

Still in production as of this morning, but now I have a ton of modules!

Just spoke to my salesperson who told me their next shipment will most likely be the last week of September. So even if the train makes it over the border quickly, it'll probably be sitting in Phoenix for a little while. Prep and window tinting will only take a day.
Oh well! Hurry up and wait, I suppose.
