Waiting room

[loewymartin]

Well, the wait has been fun boys! Thanks for keeping me sane through this whole process, time to finally join all the homies out on the road ?

Congrats!

Congrats, I am so jelly. Mine was built 12/7, shipped 12/10, arrived in Chicago Heights IL 12/21. Order tracker says ETA is 1/6. Train ride of 1,770 miles took 11 days, truck ride of 150 miles 15 days!?

Almost out of here…

It’s probably sitting in the rail yard waiting for a truck to come get it.

All tucked away nice and neatly for the night. Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow or I'd already be on some kind of road trip.

 

[Blakes]

Happy for you guys! Meanwhile back at the ranch….. can someone post a general idea of the length of wait between when “in production” appears on the tracker, and when the specific date for production appears right under it? (Obviously it’s not been the same for everyone.) Two weeks here with nothing. I’m in the 1166 group…

I’m still confused on how some are built in two days and others stay stuck in production for weeks

In my case, my car was “built” on 6/15/2021. From there it sat on the factory lot until the last chip it needed was installed on 11/11/2021. It continued to sit because of the fuel line recall, which was repaired around 12/3/2021. The status remained “In Production” until a week ago.

It’s mostly just a matter of all the parts being available at the time of manufacturing, and being lucky enough that it ships before a “Stop Ship” is issued at the factory due to recall or something else.

 

[HorseHog]

Speaking of recalls, the brake pad issue is now appearing on ETIS and NHTSA, so I may not be able to take delivery for a while ?

Per NHTSA the parts are not anticipated to be available until the second quarter of this year

Yeah, it’s weird because I’ll see people who ordered the same models have one that gets built and one that stays in production. Also weird to see people who ordered later getting built earlier.

Yea and I seen it hit mine also. If that’s the case I can’t wait any longer. They already took my trade in. Can’t go that long without a vehicle. Will just have to get something else

Today is day 33 in production. Nothing in ETA Disposition for chip and nothing like brakes etc. Everyone I have contacted said they have no idea what happened with mine. Something must have gone wrong with the build of mine.

If this keeps going we are just going to bag it and keep what we have as with my luck it will end up a lemon!. Then I will just wait and get one in like 2023 Or 2024

I ordered it because I wanted it,not because I needed it. It is kinda like picking something newly out up in your hand at the store and when the line is 50 people long after a while you just put it down and leave the store and come back some other day

Same. If I have to wait until April - June then I’m just going with my original plan of a 4Runner which is both a better car and less wimpy.

At this point I’m willing to bite the bullet and pay more.

Does anyone have experience changing their order once it has been submitted? I don’t like Cactus Gray as much now that I saw it in person on a BS and want to change to Area 51.

I changed my color from Area 51 TO Cactus grey! Just call your sales rep at the Ford dealer you ordered from. They changed it for me. This can only be done pre-schedule though.

Why not order another one? Keep the one that shows up 1st.

My dealer has a "blue sticker" OB "in transit" that has every option checked that was ordered a month before my OB with just TOW Pkg & cargo mat. Both in same "batch" but blue sticker is about 700 units before mine. Mine built 12/23, shipped 12/28. Tracker show blue sticker still in production.
From what you indicate, you were built after brake recall, thinking you have to be held for something (chip) required for one of the electronic packages.
