So this was a bit of a roller coaster.
I’m 83/426. 8/31 blend date.
They told me earlier this week that my ETA to the dealer was 9/12-9/18, which seemed very optimistic.
Just checked again. Same ETA and was told that it has been “received by a carrier at a ramp location”.
So that seems like...
Agreed on the insanity. And I meant to ask them if I was on chip hold and just forgot to ask. So I have no idea if I have any thing like that going on. They didn't mention it, at least.
The one thing that gives me a bit of hope is that someone from the 8/8 build week group at the same NJ...
Just got done with Ford Chat (after a 54 minute wait!!!!).
Anyhow, per the Chat representative, my truck is "in Production" an the ETA to my dealer is 9/12-9/18.
I'm VERY skeptical on that date range, but boy do I hope she was correct.
This! Unless they do things dramatically differently than everything else I’ve seen, you’ll be putting down a $500 or maybe $1000 refundable deposit.
If all of these other doom and gloom predictions come to pass, walk away and get your deposit back.
It’s insane to walk away now.
Click the button!
At least it gives you options. You can always cancel get your deposit back if you change your mind.
If you let it expire, it’ll be no dice until 2024 at best and will cost you way more than an additional $2500.
You could even buy it with the ADM, drive it for a year, and...
I’d place the order. The $2500 ADM sucks (I can empathize as I’m paying that exact amount in ADM), but if this invite really does expire on 9/5 you stand to lose the price protection and potentially the tex credit.
Weird that the dealer didn’t put the ADM on the ordering site. That may give...
Still no modules.
I was optimistic as i’m only sequenced 24 trucks behind Who764, but still nothing.
Hopefully at some point today. Assuming things still happen on the weekend, I have no idea about that.
Yeah, I think that's the case. My sticker still says 8/31.
I'm by no means an expert, though. I've intentionally avoided getting too far in the weeds on the other build week threads and all the different methods of tracking either at Ford or via the trains/trucks.
I figured I'd learn all...
My blend date was 8/31. Fully realize it's now probably pushed out a few days.
Regardless, I checked this morning and as expected - no modules.
I'll continue to check every morning until something changes.
I think based on the sequencing I should be first among this group (83/426). So...
Agreed that the Elizabeth IKEA on the NJTP would be a great spot for chargers. That's a bummer.
The other IKEA in NJ I know of is right by me in Paramus, but EA just recently installed 6 chargers at the Garden State Plaza mall literally right across the highway.
Those chargers at the mall...
Glad to be joining you all from the 9/5 group.
Just got my email from Ford confirming 8/29 week and giving me my VIN.
Submitted update for the tracker.
I would tend to agree about folks getting pushed, but the fact that there's a Wave 7 would make it seem Ford believes they have some additional capacity.
I admittedly may be missing something as I haven't followed the Wave 7 stuff too closely. I've decided to limit my time on this board a bit...
