Ford Chat has confirmed that my truck is at Ramp 51 and on "Chip Hold". I think that why it is "In Production" instead of "Built"?
Oh, and a new ETA window of 10/14 to 10/20. Had the last date, but not the first. I am assuming the Chip Hold is for the Tow Tech package (Camera?) as nothing has been deleted on the window sticker.

Asked the chat person yesterday for any update on my "in production" date of 9/19. Was told it was on a microchip hold and the estimated "build date" was now 10/24-10/28.

I was pretty bummed since that would mean ship and delivery to the dealer would be even further away.

I just wanted to confirm, in case I misread or misunderstood, so chatted again this morning. This time was told it's still on a microchip hold, but ETA to the dealer is 10/20.

That's a bit better, but wonder why I got two different answers in as many days.

Assuming this was your build week (9/19) what was your blend date on your window sticker? Mine was 9/14 and my ETA to dealer is 10/20. Have your modules populated, and do you have a tear tag? Refer to this thread for more info.

If you are on chip hold your truck is likely complete and sitting at ramp 51. "build date" of 10/24 makes no sense in this context.

I don’t think either of your build weeks are 9/19 correct?

My Order Status was "Scheduled for production week of 9/12/2022," but nothing seemed to happen that week. Under Ford's Order Tracker, it updated to "in production" on 9/19 and still shows that date.

@PV2EV I see now my Blend Date was 9/14 and yes to tear tag.

We have the same "blend" and "in production" dates :) Did you post in the 9/12 thread?

Sorry, posted in too many threads today. @craig040608 can you let @TaxmanHog know your details so he can add you to the spreadsheet for this week?

If you would like to share your VIN with me here or on a DM, I can research where you are at production-wise.

I don't *think* the ford.com header changes until you get to built status..at that point the check mark moves down. As long as you have "in production" on the tracker you're moving along.

Have your modules popped yet? Tear tag?

These occurred on mine just before it went into "in production status".

My blend date was 9/18 and my in production date was 9/21.

Edit: I see you have a tear tag. Expect build date to follow 6-10 days after your in production date(probably next week).

You are 2 days ahead of me...

Just called Ford marketing and they confirmed the ETA of 10/7 to 10/14 to southern California, however, they said that my truck is on a microchip hold and if the hold pushes the ETA they will send me an updated ETA.

Lariat ER with Max towing and bedliner
Scheduled for production week of 9/12
Blend date 9/14
In production date 9/16
ETA 10/7 - 10/14

Sure! Here it is: 1FT6W1EV5NWG13xxx

If there's something nefarious that can be done with my VIN, let me know so I can delete. I can't think of anything.

Thanks for sharing, confirmed you are right on track with the rest of the 9/12 build week, next stop is BUILT date, then shipped and arrival at your dealership.

What is a tear tag and where can it be found?

This signifies completion of main line build, programming of computer systems on the truck, sans extras like spray in liner, which when done moves the truck into the BUILT stage.
