darn you, your post made me check my email. Nothing.
congrats 🍾 πŸŽ‰ 🎈

I'm starting to buy into the chip hold stories. Problem with that, is Priority goes to the build line before the parked trucks when they come in stock. Good business, bad customer relations.
I honestly don't think its chip issue. I think ALL of the early built trucks had to be updated / have some parts replaced prior to shipping. My Fordpass had activation pending forever. Changed to Activate Vehicle, told ke its unavailable and right after it got released from plant.

I'm on chip hold as well - I may have said that a few pages ago.

My ford pass app this afternoon did let me re-send the activation request. It is now pending. That's a change I guess. It had been instant failing saying wait for delivery to try again for weeks.

I checked a few other build weeks, a lot of comments on ford pass today.
mine had been stuck on try activating after you take delivery. So today it allowed me to get to activation pending Again. I had deleted and re added it a few weeks ago.

chip hold isnβ€˜t great, but seeing how many have been delivered in later build weeks and shipping 4-5 weeks after our builds - that sucks for us.

Yea this is our reward for getting our order in early. We get to be the extra-long guinea pigs for everyone else haha. They should thank our builds ; ).

At least the ford pass, for both of us, had some sort of change. I don't think(?) it was some week-long thing timing out.. probably *someone* did something to our trucks. Let's hope that means something.

I like your optimism about fordpass. I was upbeat when I saw mine change, but after reading all the changes in fordpass for other build weeks, not as hopeful, think it was a general system change on ford end.

glad my nobody has contacted me about selling my current truck. I’d love to sell it, but I can’t be without a truck for months.

Still pending activation here after being allowed to send the request again a few days ago. Wonder if I should be more disappointed by talking to Ford chat today or waiting until tomorrow so I can be more disappointed over the weekend proper. lolol. Bugging them once a week seems fair to me...

Looks like my truck finally shipped today. The Ford trackers haven't updated but ordertrack.app has. John, your app is so helpful - I hope everyone that uses it buys you a cup of coffee:coffee::coffee::coffee:!

Hope to see my truck soon!
