Aw man, that was what I hoped it would not be. Very unclear how they are dealing with that whole situation. Some of those on chip hold from January are shipping, but many are not. Ford is probably holding back some amount of the parts to fulfill those older orders, I would guess.
The only thing I know of to compare that situation to is the chip hold (ice mountain) groups in January. None of theirs showed as "Built" either. Your dealership may have the exact status of the vehicle available to them. For example, my dealer knew that mine was not on a chip hold somehow...
For about 4 weeks I was "On Hold". Last Thursday it switched to "Picked" at the bottom of the OrderTrack screen. This is also when the Window Sticker started updating daily. So 2 changes in one day has me cautiously optimistic it will ship soon.
It is updating daily for me, too. I had the same thought. Perhaps whenever someone walks by and scans the VIN on our Broncos in some big parking lot, the Window Sticker date updates. Or maybe it's automatic once they've been "Picked".
Not sure, but it is new for me and others in this group. Just started a few days ago, and several people who have already taken delivery said this happened to them right before theirs shipped. Who knows?
I did. All he could say was they get an email from the carrier the day before the trucks come in. Sounds like your dealership is a little more clued in to what Ford is doing. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Maybe they can beat their 5/15-5/21 EDD.
