01/10/22 Build Week Chat/Gang

[NGE OC]

Does anyone have an opinion on which tracker is more accurate? When I go to my reservations page after signing into my ford.com account, it shows:

When I use the https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking link and it returns something, it doesn't indicate "built" or an ETA in March.

Mine is “in production” since mid January, with no built status on either.
I think perhaps the order tracking, but I saw a post that Reservation was more accurate. Posts seem split on which is more reliable, agree that both are problematic, so hope for 3/26, but be aware, it might be May or June.

Fingers crossed here - my GTPE now shows "built" on 3/5 and both sites indicate "built".

Dealer confirmed today that the VVR shows my car was released from chip hold on March 1st and is "awaiting shipment". Hoping that is accurate. ETA is still showing the new bumped out date of May 8th though. ?
Maybe it will just magically appear at the lot one day in the next few weeks like some cars do. ?‍?

No change for myself (still "In Production") but seeing people finally getting out of chip hold does mean there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Let's just hope it isn't an oncoming train.
Mine went to chip hold to built back to chip hold

Mine says released March 1st and awaiting shipment but there is no updates after March 1st. I received the updated date email on on March 5th. I think the dealer info only updates on Friday.

Yes, thanks. That tells me that a “built” notice truly has all modules loaded (as one would expect) - but of course, updating addresses and instructions can be ongoing.

Yup, been there, done that. Just checking how much to believe “”Built”. Also, getting another datapoint that 1812 is the target number for 2022 Premium, AWD, ER. I see that delivered have same number of modules, but (I suspect as updates happen), sometimes different addresses and instructions. I’m stuck at 1004 modules since Jan. 26.

FYI regarding module counts from the 1/24 thread: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/1-24-build-week-gang.12024/page-14#post-364350

Upshot is your car may already have all its chips.

I don’t think so, because I was at 1004 on Jan. 26 when they put it into chip hold.

it mentions toward the bottom that the Premium 22's will have a special sound system and the power lift gate. I wonder if anyone that has received a 22 Premium got these?

Yes, my 22 Premium has the special sound system and the power lift gate. But, so did the 21 Premium. It does not have the "kick to open" liftgate feature that was in the 21.

That's the identical sound system in the 2021s. And, the power liftgate is the same. What's different is the removal of the kick to open sensor.

Thanks so much for clarification. Let me add that I am really ticked about the removal of the kick sensor. I use it on my Escape all the time when hands are full. ?

I just think that they should've allowed us to come back at a later time for installation, or at the least given us a small credit of some sort. *shrug*

Doesn't seem as if they are doing anything to help us, just taking things away and rasing the price. Add to that the price of gas and my delay will now be 13 months from order, if and I say if, I get it in June. Incredible.
