If no chip holds or delays with spray in, then you could go to built pretty quickly, if the planets are in alignment with the train schedules to eastern NY or convoy to western NY, then it's very possible to be delivered to your dealership by 9/26
Thanks, no spray in for me, just doing a bed bug rug. Hope someone hits activate on the screen, would be fun to GPS it the whole way. Did someone say that they send you a picture of the truck coming off the line? Does that always happen and when?

My impressionist surrealism (Monet + Salvador Dali) view of the delivery right now...

@PiMatrix I'm enjoying your artwork. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks, just to be clear, I'm only an engineer and always wished I could draw like that. I do a little work with programming and AI and have been beta testing the worlds largest neural network on OpenAI. What the AI can do is just amazing. So I've just been giving the visualization AI Dall-e2 specific commands to visualize what I am thinking or feeling and it gets created digitally! Every once in a while we are not specific enough and the AI takes things the wrong way. Yesterday I make a painting for some friends who are sailing around the world with their German Pointer dog. I asked to have the sailboat surrounded by Orca whales, which you may know have been attacking sailboat in groups and knocking off their rudder in a coordinated attack! I guess the AI didn't know that Orcas cannot fly. I asked for five Orcas and clearly there are only four in the air, I think one landed in the boat, which is maybe why the dog is in the water. Your really never know what is going to happen as these are thinking neural networks always learning.

OK, figured ending the Labor Day weekend we should close with a post-impressionist (in the style of Vincent Van Gogh) tailgate party for the forum members. We imagined F150s tailgating in a circle while forum members are talking and dancing under a starry night above and a bonfire below. Dogs are wandering playfully and lighning bolts light up the night sky in a bold splash of colors. Some of the early version bloopers are quite amusing. Some initial tries had the cars burning because the program had lightning hitting the cars instead of staying in the sky. Combining the word lighting and truck can easily confuse an AI. Note: No one in the physical world was hurt in the making of this painting, but in the meta verse...ahem :ROFLMAO:

With the drought, I thought this bonfire was getting a bit out of control so it didn't make it to Final Cut although the sky is quite nice.

I've put together a snapshot of where this build week and the past two, 8/15 & 8/8, are in the progression from Build Week to Delivery. I think these three weeks should give me a good idea of how the line is running. I'm a little less optimistic about the estimated delivery dates of 9/2 - 9/9 that I got from a chat on Friday. All this data is taken from Taxmanhog's spreadsheet. Thanks again for continuing to provide data even though your now have you truck.

As you can see half haven't reached Built, a third have shipped, and only 7 have arrived at a dealership.

Remember that members are updating this thread/forum. Once trucks land members maybe too busy to update?? That could be the reason we see less data?

I'm expecting delivery any day now and happy to update as soon as it arrives! No idea how I got built and shipped so fast, but I'm not complaining!

Thought I would update. As soon as Ford Chat opened, I asked for tracking information. Previously I was told the truck was at Ramp 51, ETA 9/10 - 9/16.

Here is the reply:

Definitely lost data collection opportunities by excited new truck owners, If I don't have a VIN on a record then the results are often delayed or nonexistent, which ruins the whole purpose of sharing the build progression data.

BTW, if folks are scared of sharing the vin, I will keep it off the public tracker but use it internally on my local copy, share with me by DM if you wish, thanks in advance!!

Thank you for keeping up the list, it is definately helpful to set my expectations on when it's time get this beast.

Hi Gang, Happy Tuesday Morning and hope everyone had a safe weekend.

Ford Chat is 50 people deep by the time I got in queue. I did call my dealer in Cuero Tx, Weber Motor Company. They did look at the Vehicle Visability Report (VVR), and I too am at Area 51 in Flat Rock MI with a chip hold. They said they could not tell if i had been to body shop and back. I'm going to guess if @Pioneer74 has his spray in liner that I might have mine too.

So it is back to hurry up and wait for the aliens to finish chip making and get them into the trucks. hahaha

I was sat and waited on the chat, when I started it was 44 people. This is the info I received, though the status page still says In Production. I have factory spray in liner. So doesn't look like I'm on a chip hold....maybe.

It looks like your vehicle was received by Ramp 51, the body company, in Flat Rock , MI on September 1st. Your vehicle should arrive to your dealership no later than September 20th. You should be able to check the generic status of your order here https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking , but your dealership is always the best source for this kind of information and you should keep in contact with them for all the latest updates. You can also find out more information about custom orders here https://www.ford.com/custom-order/
