It seems to be bigger issue for the early build weeks versus the ongoing line builds. I get it, better economics and logistics to keep the line rolling. But I guess I read the story of an early build Mach e who waited until October while all those later builds rolled off the line while his sat in a lot.
just send me cheese
for my whine.

Wondering why they can't just do this or at very least get it shipped to the dealer so shipping is complete and let the truck stay there until the chips arrive.It seems to be bigger issue for the early build weeks versus the ongoing line builds.

On the ford pass a few weeks ago I saw them driving the truck around (before I got kicked out)... had 71 some miles on it. In this case I wonder what "micro chips" it could actually be missing? Did something happened where they had to go back and replace some systems? We'll never know lol.

Could be minor like the Explorers and just be rear AC or something. I imagine they would prefer for it to sit in a parking lot for months than to deliver missing a chip......I'd like the option to go without a couple features for a month or two if it meant they could get me my truck now.
This is a pet peeve of mine, if they miss scans to ensure accurate production flow, they are wasting valuable data,, these missed steps don't appear critical to movement of the truck, off the assembly line, post build treatments, holding areas, staging for transport, etc.
They built the tracker to help fill that customer demand for blow-by-blow status progression, failing to collect the critical data point and post it timely would be counterintuitive, increasing the burdens local sales staff and corporate CSR's are woefully inadequate in some instances trying to fill this void.

I believe the ford authority article said chips missing were for wipers and or backup camera.
so they can still test drive them

There's now more with scheduled delivery dates than not. Great.

darn you, your post made me check my email. Nothing.Finally!
congrats
I'm starting to buy into the chip hold stories. Problem with that, is Priority goes to the build line before the parked trucks when they come in stock. Good business, bad customer relations.
