FORD EMAIL: 05/15 Production delayed due to supply chain | But also Built? Window sticker no longer available

[BEVolution]

Window sticker no longer available but shows built too? Built but awaiting final parts?

Any ideas?

Mine is build week 5/1, in production 5/5 and no update since. Ford customer service says it should be delivered this weekend. Salesperson says they don't have any additional information

Depending on where you look, you get different info?

I would presume the Built status is correct and the email you received is wrong. Have all of your modules popped on your truck?

I wouldn't count on Ford customer service having any idea what is going on with your vehicle. Every time I called them while I was trying to get information while mine was built but not shipped I could call three times in a row and get three different answers some even saying that my truck was waiting for parts.

FWIW, Ford has been sending that exact email out to a number of people regularly. Here's one from 2 weeks ago:

If you'll notice, that poster has since gotten emails from Ford saying their truck has been built and shipped.

TL/DR - it's a form email...

The embedded link to your window sticker often fails on the production date/status database.

Try this direct link to the sticker database, it will error out, then paste in your VIN to the right of the equal sign in the URL.

I wonder when Ford will, if ever, offer the PRO with the extended battery.

I think a lot of non-commercial business would be happy to buy a PRO model, but want the bigger range.

IMO If Ford is going to ramp to 150,000 units per year by December, they will need units to sell that don't cost $85,000.

Time will tell. It sounds like Ford isn't so keen to throw more battery into vehicles where it isn't needed. The lfp battery for the sr pack should improve charging times above 80% and also allow for day to day charging of 100%.
However I understand the need for more towing range in a vehicle that isn't $80k+

Unless sales just really grind to a halt, I don't see to much changing before the lower priced Silverados come out and by that time Ford will be gearing up for the second gen model.
