Poll: A lot theories on why we aren’t seeing shipments ⚡️

[hturnerfamily]

I'm sure the logistics and shipping cost BID has been set well before now. The only move by transport companies I can see affecting Ford would be a 'fuel surcharge', which is common in environments like today. It's happened before.

And hence the $100 increase we’ve recently seen. Makes sense.

I think you need an “other” choice as most of the comments seem to land in that arena.

"Ford says it has produced 2,000 electric F-150 pickup trucks.
Deliveries of the F-150 Lightning, Ford’s most important new vehicle in many years, will begin in the coming week, it said."

DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford Motor said on Tuesday that it had produced about 2,000 electric F-150 pickup trucks and planned to begin delivering them to customers in the next week.

The automaker said it was fine-tuning software in the trucks before releasing them to dealers, the company’s chief executive, Jim Farley, said at a kickoff event at the factory where the truck is made in Dearborn, a Detroit suburb.

Some of those also only have recent build dates. Some of us have been produce for 2-3 now going on 4 weeks this week. now It boils down to order shipped. Fresh off the line (LIFO) OR first built (FIFO)

For the Mach-E, they used FILO. Mine was made 1/19, finished 3/1. Left Mexico a few weeks ago, dealer got it late Friday. I made sure everyone was safely out of the chip hold lot in Mexico before leaving... Total BS.

Blue Cruise is coming for your Mach E. We finally received our OTA for it about 30 days ago on our 21 Mach E.

Im at 2.7.1 and it was Lights and horn from Ford Pass, so I'm sure it's coming but may not be here before we trade the First Edition MachE for our GTPE that's making it's way up to KC from the plant in Cuautitlan. We've had 17 months and 5400 trouble free miles, couple glitches, but the Electric Pony has been great.

So your Mach E got to see allot of Ponies come and go before it got released. It may need counseling as well! Bravo on your patience.

I bought one off the lot 5 weeks after ordering, canceled order, identical. Now selling it and taking new one.

This is a great poll, except the right answer is not a choice.

So what is the right answer?

That would ruin the whole thread.

That would ruin the whole thread.

Now I’m curious

@tommolog has said he expects his F150 Lightning in a few weeks. Maybe he can ask Ford what the holdup is?
