Ouch!!!! 82 days!!!! And nobody will tell you what the hold up is?
That has to be wrong. I ordered an April 2. None of this makes any sense anymore. at this rate I am hoping we get them by Christmas ? how many times a week should we contact Ford to get some answers? Lol

My order is still showing a delivery ETA of 07/16 which has come and passed. My salesman text me this morning, it is still not at the dealership. No one has the trucking info. So close yet feels like so far away. This process could and should be a lot more transparent. I feel for us all that are still in the waiting room...
Same, the dealer had july 5th-12th, but the tracker said July 16th-22nd. I texted my salesman today to see if he has heard anything and he hasn’t responded. I’m hoping it’s this weekend but at least I know it’s in the state lol.

Well, I sold my Veloster (for a great price) and am currently driving the husband’s F-150 (he has a work car). Hoping mine gets shipped soon because the 14 miles per gallon is killing my wallet.

@Petroph showed a 7/8 In Production and shipped was at least moved to "Built" promptly - with a loaded Badlands. Any word on shipment?

And what features does it have? Trying to make sense as to why 7/4 builds are being held up “In Production” on the tracker.

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?

Again, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

I know that it is difficult to not try to understand what is happening, but I would recommend just sitting back and relaxing because there is nothing you can do to change what is happening and I haven't seen anyone able to actually make sense of any part of the process.

I finally was able to get a rail car number but I guess I don't really need it because apparently my car arrived an hour from my house on Friday. How do people track it from the rail yard? Or how long does it usually take to be delivered after that? It's only an hour away!!

I’m not sure it’s reliably possible. Some people manage to get road carrier info for that last leg of the trip from final rail destination to dealership but it seems few and far between. I hit up Ford live chat today to see if they had anything and the rep just kept giving my rail carrier and railcar info, which I had and no longer need. ?‍♂

Yeah I think it's hilarious they finally gave it to me after my car is done with the train part of the trip ?

I like the third option, but think the first or second are more likely. If the 360+ info on the Maverick is accurate, that could be holding mine up.
That info will only update when the vehicle is started, so until it is driven off the railcar the data will remain the same.

I actually had a great conversation with New Vehicle Support today. The thing holding my vehicle up is final inspection, no parts are on hold and there are no quality control issues (unless final inspection shows something). I believe this is the case for all of the July builds. Once the final inspection happens (which was probably stymied because of the shutdown) it will be loaded onto a convoy to be taken to the rail yard at which time I should receive my rail car number and my tracker will be updated as shipped.

Knowing something is such a relief. We know we can't affect the outcome, but knowing what to expect relieves a lot of mental anguish. Anticipation without certainty doubles dopamine levels in the brain. It can feel like being in a fight or flight situation for days.

Absolutely, it was nice speaking with someone who knew something and was able to answer all my “clarifying” questions. It would be listed as on hold of there were parts missing or a quality control issue, and it definitely is not listed that way on the visibility report. It was also reassuring to hear the process of being put on a convoy to the rail yard after final
Inspection.
