Waiting room

[Meanderthal]

Someone posted a list of never before seen “Delay” status”s on Vehicle Visibility Reports recently. The “Delay - Rail” was an example. My status was “No Idea. Ask next month”. Bounty on a drone shot of the KC train yard (free Etsy Key Chain!).

There are some real nice spy pictures of Ice Mountain (Michigan lot with 1000’s of vehicles (full size Broncos waiting on chips).

I’m guessing that flying a drone over a railyard is probably a felony.

I know a judge waiting on a King Ranch with “Delay - Convoy Carrier” status. I’ll get a sign off. Two Etsy key chains.

I've been at an 02 priority since mid January, still no date. Hard to make sense of it all.

Same same, been rated Priority 2 for awhile.

“I shouldn’t probably share this but the driver yesterday showed me a phone video of derailed transport rail cars in KC last week”.

Hopefully they got the chips out alive.

It happens. I've a buddy that retired GM and took a job at a dealership for something to do - shuttle driver. Said he came into work last week and there was a haulaway out back with a delivery. Two cars on the top had been converted to convertibles. Driver forgot to lower, or didn't lower the upper deck enough, found a bridge.

It would seem that my talk with Ford Customer Service gave some accurate information. It does seem that the Tow Package is the real holdup on a lot of orders now. I don't think that anyone that has gotten a May build date had the Tow Package. The rep told me they were only filling 33% of orders with the Tow Package.

I ordered the tow package on my Badlands and have a begin build date of 23 May.

Yeah go figure, good for you on getting a build date!

Do you know what your priority codes were? I order a few weeks before OB and Assist+ and nothing. I called Ford yesterday too and it was just in the queue - no constraints. Not completely frustrated yet - just curious if that priority code does make a difference.

Katie,

I am sorry I don't know what my priority codes were. Is there a place I can find them? I would be happy to look for you.... ( EDIT: I found it... It says Priority Code 19 on my Ford Order from Reynolds Ford in Oklahoma City )

Oh, nice! Thanks for the follow up! I have a 19 Priority Code, too. My dealer must have low allocation levels.

Some are getting built, but it still seems to be a choke point.

Priority 19 is standard. It has nothing to do with allocations.

I meant the reason I haven’t been scheduled was because of my dealer allocations and/or having other orders at the dealer with a higher priority.

Verified orders are supposed to get incremental allocation, so dealer allocation isn't supposed to factor into it now, except for all the shortages kind of force everything back into allocations.

?‍ So many factors beyond my control.. I'll stop trying to figure it out and be patient until Thursdays roll around!

My delivery week is this week, but I just checked the dealer's website and my car is no longer showing up. My window sticker also changed the date on the bottom to today's date. This doesn't mean anything terrible, right?

It's my understanding that the window sticker bottom date is updated at every change of the sticker. Why would a retail order be on their website anyway? It seems janky if they are advertising a retail order to the public.
