I’m seeing the same, dealer tells me they see delivery between 4th and 10th but hasn’t shipped. She also said 4 of 5 of her earlier orders are on chip hold
My expectation/hope is that they're just building and shipping anything that's getting built last week and this week. The assumption there being that the shut down the plant the week of 2/7 to let the chips catch up. TBH it's not exactly fair that they'd get the new ones out the door as they work their way through ice mountain, but from a business perspective it's a better decision because each vehicle is going to take less overall time if they just build it all at once rather than building and holding and then putting in the chips later.

My 2/7 blend had mods pop on Friday with an EDD OF 3/26. Tracker has not updated since and still shows in production. This morning tracker still remains unchanged except the EDD changed to 3/23. I wonder what’s going on? Anyone else see similar thing?
Mine was built Thursday and showed "In Production" until last night. From what I've heard, the tracker can be super slow to update.

Mine jumped between in production and built on the tracker several times throughout the day yesterday. Has said built 2/19 all morning, but the top section still says EDD TBD. The bottom part by the dealer name says 3/12

Yes! I had an EDD of 3/18 and today it changed to 3/9. That's a change I do love! my Bronco is headed to the Northeast via rail and I was wondering if the date moved up because there might be room to tuck more cars on earlier than expected?

Forgetting fair or unfair for a second, Ford probably has an open PO with the chip manufacturer for X amount of chips per day/week/month to keep the line running. The batch of bad chips on Ice Mountain will probably be replaced with chips from a separate PO, independent of the supply for the production line.

I can only imagine the logistical nightmare of replacing bad chips with the normal supply route, shipping those from Ice Mountain, then replacing those shipped units with new arrivals at Ice Mountain. Way too many opportunities for errors that way.

It sucks for those currently on Ice Mountain, but from Ford's perspective it is more efficient that way.

I'm a 2/9 blend date...my dealer's system reflects that my Black Diamond has been built, but nothing shows for me yet in the vehicle or module tracker. Good think I have nothing to do today but sit around and refresh a website ;)
In the meantime, my mod purchases are quickly piling up. This thing is turning into an addiction!
