Must admit: part of me is expecting a “just kidding” email.
Tackle Lucy and get the football.

I still have nothing... I was finally able to log in to the status page for the first time in a week+. I had some weird splash screen that said something like not all features are available...? and Now I can't get that screen back. I clicked through too quickly. My car has been in production since January 15...

I hope you hear something. So many of us all together were in the same boat for a while

I saw the splash screen - think new people are at the helm of a newly focused effort toward dealing with all this and they are addressing the difficulties of running out of some 2022 lines while trying to get to the early 2022 cars (I hope).
My initial production was 1/7 and believe (strongly hope) you will have good news soon.

This is what I got when I logged in this morning. Hopefully just a generic CYA and not something directed specifically at us.

Thank you. FYI: I logged on from a different device and got the same message once on that device. Today I logged into my account and I got this on the landing page as well. I am confident that it is generic and not directed to us directly.

I’m in the same boat, ordered September 5th and in production since January 15th, still on chip hold. So it’s not just you.

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.

You were right. They now list my car as “built” and that it has been “released” but my Excel sheet tells me no change in modules, addresses, nor instructions since Jan 26.

Got the built e-mail yesterday, ETA April 16-22

I am sorry that any of us are in this boat…

But then I see this article:

https://www.autonews.com/nada/ford-...hips-controlling-non-safety-critical-features

I am getting the sinking feeling that the new message on the website relates to this article. I think we may be getting our cars sooner…but I expect it to be incomplete for some time.

same sense here. “built” to mean “mostly built”. Chip problem is universal already. Now see that VW and Porsche are having production problems because the wire harness for some of theirs is out of a factory under siege in Ukraine. Glad Ford has gone to a US supplier of chips, but the oil situation affects supply further. I am impatient for the car, but glad I am not in Ukraine.

My dealer confirmed that it was removed from the chip hold....at least on the VVR.

Who effing knows at this point anymore what's going on. As I told my partner, to me it means nothing until we get the shipped email.
