It still says mine is coming 1/29-2/4.

I think we were on the same train out of Mexico, mine also shopped 1/17, arrived KC 1/28.

I think we were on the same train… have you gotten a VVR from your dealership? Curious to know where yours currently is. Last I heard mine was still sitting in KC but I’m wondering if that’s because the tracking didn’t update to the next destination.

I mostly leave my dealer alone. I think it takes a minimum of 2 weeks to get here from KC, based on what I've read in this form. That was only yesterday. If I don't hear anything by the middle of next week I may reach out. I do constantly check United Road with my VIN number as I believe they truck all the cars from the train depot to my dealer.

A minor data point on a chip hold order: I received a message in FordPass app that my activation request was denied. The optimist in me reads that as my car was handled/driven somewhere that day. Instead of languishing in a dusty soccer field.

Or being driven to a dusty soccer field. Sorry I'm more a pessimist.

I received the same message in the app.

Or that it means that the request sits in the server for xx days until it just times out.

Yes, but "denied by the primary user" doesn't seem passive.

Regardless which


Yes unfortunately $250

My x-plan purchase limited my Virginia dealer a $100 max doc fee. VA law allows dealers to charge $500 if they want to and most do, some charge even more.

Contacted dealership again on Friday and requested updated VVR. Response shows my car is still parked, since 1/29/2022, at Ramp 6R, Richards-Gebaur, MO. Still no listing for rail transfer to Louisville. Estimated delivery is still 1/28/2022 to 3/6/2022. Sigh.

I'm also in the bay area.
I've checked United Road and there is a load number associated with my VIN, but what does this tell me about delivery status?

If it says inactive, it means car not yet in possession. If it says pending pickup without any dates, it means it's ready to be picked up but not yet in line for pickup. Then wait couple hours or a day, it will then say pending pickup with a delivery date to your dealer.

EDIT: Then it will say InRoute until the car is delivered to the dealer

Mine says "pending" for the last two weeks. According to shop.ford.com though, it's still in production. Does it mean chip hold?

If it says "PendingPickup", then it should be on United Roads lot and waiting for a driver. I would get the Vehicle Visibility Report from the dealer. (I know easier said than done...)

Just checked my order in ford, the pricing summary just updated to the new MSRP, no longer showing the MSRP that I ordered at 8 months ago, which was still showing last week. Making me wonder if they decided to screw us over?

In the same boat...dealer informed me that Ford was going to honor the 21 quote. We will see.
