Not 100% sure what time of day the orders list is updated, previously we heard a lot of chatter after noon time, but they may not be releasing dates until first Thursday in April, due to supply shortages from 37 vendors.

Yeah it was around 1pm EST previously. Long McArthur had said ahead of time last week that there was no scheduling so I was prepared, haven't watched the video for this week.

*Edit* Just watched the video section on scheduling and yeah, no F150.

He shares a lot of great information and major props to him.

Please know I'm not trying to take anything from him, but what we really learn from him is that the dealers truly are informed. Ford truly gives them the information and the systems to have insight to what is going on. It is just that 95% of the rest of the dealers either truly like trying to pull wool over our eyes or just can't ingest it and understand it and like to think we are sheep.

Always thankful to have upfront and sharing people. I'm really surprised other dealers haven't tried to silence him.

Tim is the man and a very rare exception in the industry. The vast majority of dealers have been doing the absolute bare minimum for decades and cashing their middle man check.

I just want to say, I hate this thread.

I hate that it exists. I hate that I check it.
I hate the way I feel on Thursday evening.
I hate that I think about it on Friday and Saturday
I hate that it looms over me on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
I hate that it gives me hope on Wednesday.

Most of all, I hate that one day I won't hate it all.
But I hate that I don't know when that is.

I was pretty bummed out last week.

Then each day, I got a little more excited that another Thursday was coming.

By this morning, I was pretty excited that Thursday finally arrived.

Now I'm back where I started. :(

Has anyone been scheduled for production the last few weeks? I remember seeing a wave for a couple weeks and now nothing. I wonder what's up?

Scheduling occurred on 2/23, 2/24, 3/3.
Ford has an intentional hold on scheduling all F150 lines the past two weeks 3/10, 3/17 and possibly the next two Thursdays while they wait for 37 suppliers to catch up on their ability to deliver parts.

I'm holding out hope the situation is improving and we will be surprised sooner than later.
