Did anyone receive any info from Ford regarding the private offer yet? I thought ford said they were going to send something out, but I haven't received anything yet. I'm actually in the 10/31 build week but since you guys are one week ahead I figured I'd ask.

I don't believe you will get any notice, but it should be in your account in the smart vincent system. it may or may not actually have a dollar finalized on it yet. But once your truck arrives it should be all squared away. you can always call ford and ask

Ford just told me no chip hold that they can see, which I take in the most pessimistic way possible to mean it's not even far enough along for there to BE a chip hold, yet.

Who knows!?!?

No sir. No options of any kind. Whatever they are short, every vehicle must be short.
Or they are prioritizing the deliveries of the more expensive models - which honestly I support. They should ONLY be producing trucks with MSRP over $80k right now so as many people can take advantage of the tax break as possible.

Almost everyone in the 10/17 group was on chip hold but we’re getting built in about 10 days.

With an In Production date of 10/28, I would expect your build date to be 11/07 and you’ll see the change on the Order status page 11/08 as it always seems to update a day late.

Lariat extended-range. :) I don't have platinum money.

When my girlfriend ordered her Tesla they told her it was 6-8 months for the standard model, or 3-4 weeks for the Performance model... guess which one she picked?

Sounds good.

They're still telling me an ETA of 11/8-11/14. Seems unlikely.

What's built-status-to-dealer delivery been looking like recently?

We're not there yet unfortunately. We've only had three people ship so far out of 18 members. Check out the link in my signature if you want to see the break out.
