Right. The only thing we can all rely on equally is that there’s no information we can rely on. That said, I do suspect there are a finite number of “paths” these things take through the system. It might be 100, it might be just five, but systems—even clunky, error-prone, opaque ones are...

That may be true for many, but my car registered as shipped on 9/28 and showed no change on palsapp until the day before it was delivered to the dealer on 11/5. So there was over a month of maddening silence, but it would have been on a train and moving during that period. In fact, the 35-day...

I fully expect this to be my experience.

So... today my FordPass App suddenly woke out of a months-long stupor and mumbled something to the effect of "Set up your profile in FordPass." I'd done that a long time ago, vainly hoping at the time that I could move it along, so it struck me as odd. And then it struck me that somewhere, in...

Well, one little mystery is solved. The “days to delivery” counter on the seg.fyi tracker now says five days. It seems the coding doesn’t know what to do when the estimated delivery date has passed. It’s reporting the difference between today’s date and the delivery date—same as always—but it...

Today I got my first email from Ford since my order confirmation in March. It’s only through obsessive checking and refreshing that I’ve kept up with the build date (7/24) and ship date (9/28), but this email informed my MME was estimated to arrive at my dealer between 10/9 and 10/15/2021. The...

Finally, someone with “symptoms” similar to mine! A March order with a July build week that finally shows a shipment date of 9/28. For a few days it said it would be delivered between 8/29 and 9/5. Now it has “35” for transit date a N/A for an estimated delivery date.

I’m curious how you can tell it’s on a train. My 3/3/21 order had been sitting in limbo with a 7/27 production date for weeks when I finally saw a change in status on 9/28. It populated the ship date as 9/28, but it shows “35” as the delivery date. That translates as “N/A” for an estimate of...

I placed the order on 3/3/21, and the tracker records it as 3/15. The build week was 7/24, and it’s been in chip limbo since.

Well, I managed to go a whole couple of days without looking, and today something actually changed on the tracker. The N/A delivery date and blank shipped date on my Premium ER AWD have become 9/5/21 and 9/28/21, respectively. So… while one might scratch one’s head at the the car being delivered...

As jealous as I admit that makes me, I still appreciate a sign that things are moving. It’s also nice to get a glimpse of what it looks like on the other side of that “built” sound barrier. You still totally suck, though. ?

Sigh. I had heard a rumor somewhere that a lot of summer production dates had been getting delivery dates this week. Friday has rolled around, and my rapid red, Premium AWD ER still has a big blank on the delivery date. Once upon a time it said 10/31. I know I’m not the only one suffering these...

It’s not that we can’t, or even that we don’t. Competition and the consumer’s relentless demand for low cost have driven supply chains to ever cheaper sources and just-in-time production. The commodity chips we’re talking about haven’t made sense, from a business perspective, to manufacture in...

Fortunate. I ordered mine on March 3, finally got a build week of July 14, and apparently it rolled off the line July 26. I’m still waiting for it to ship, because microchips, and I’m in the 10/31 estimated delivery limbo. That seems to be basically a giant “I dunno” from Ford.

That’s not quite right. Virginia (and most other states) have statutory speed limits of 70mph, but what the OP described is an imposed limitation of the car itself. The suggestion was that California would impose mandatory changes to vehicle software or other mechanism to make it physically...

Has anyone else had the progress bar on their order change status but show a scheduled production week in the past? I got excited when I finally saw some movement on the order I placed on March 3, 2021, but it came with a bit of confusion. My order status has advanced to “In Production” with the...
