Disappointment Thursday

[PV2EV]

No build scheduled on my order so far today! Anyone get a build week today?

Maybe the chip hold is delaying new build scheduling? If they are going to keep the line going (which makes sense) and just park them, one would think the scheduling would continue.

Seems like it usually happens between 2:00 and 3:00 PM ET. I’ve resolved not to check my status until after 3:00.

I second that. Typically it happens late Thursday or on Friday. Good luck!

I'm hoping my date shifts down for once instead of pushing into August I've been 6/13 -> 6/20 -> 7/11 -> 7/18

I think they want 30-60 days lead time and there is not many listed with regard to forum members on the July & August calendar as compared to May, I would think they will be scheduling more for those months and dipping their toes into September as well.

Agreed. One other factor to consider is forum membership makeup. 80% of the orders are from wave 1 - 3, so we will see fewer updates from the following waves. This maybe due to fewer invites for those waves, or later and less interested buyers not being on the forum, or both.

Wave 6er here - doing my best to cover the interest level for my later wave

I have high hopes for this afternoon, but nothing yet

6/13 > 7/25 > 8/1 > 8/29 > 9/26

As I weeks have passed without getting a shipping notice. And yes I would have been happy getting a shipping notice before official deliveries began. However being on chip hold makes everyday a disappointmen.

that being said @Ford Motor Company I can’t help but feel selfish taking up a parking space with my order for the past 8 weeks. I would gladly give up that spot and move my order to shipping and let one of the cars rolling off the line have that parking spot for a few weeks.

just offering to help out.

This gets be nervous! I jumped a few times from 6/13 to 7/18. I was thinking no way I could ever be pushed even further, but after seeing your 6/13 to 9/26 jump I'm having second thoughts!

Well. It is after 3pm EST and I still don't have a build date. Call me disappointed, I really thought this would be the week.

Nothing to do but wait until next week/month/year.....

I've had some late tweaks to my build date. I feel like they all don't shift at once, so there's still hope for scheduling later today. Hang in there. You're one of the few that actually get a Lightning this year.

Same here.

That is my worry. With so many unscheduled and those who are getting delayed, I am not sure I will get a truck this year.

I know I know - First world problems.

Same here.

Double same.

It's looking like perhaps there were only rescheduled existing dates today and no new assignment of production weeks.

Yeah and pushing them to the right again. Folks are sliding into September, even late Sept. Something must to be going on - either they are slowing production due to the chip holds, or something is impacting them ramping up.

At this point I strongly suspect that some(many?) folks that got to order for MY2022 will get pushed to 2023. I wonder if Ford will offer price protection? The reduced tax credit will hurt enough.
