Fingers crossed for all those who have been waiting for their trucks to move. I can confirm EvMainer's truck is physically on a truck heading to his dealer right now so it does appear the movement of some of these trucks is in fact real.

You'd better believe I'll be posting pics of the truck if/when it arrives. Dealer is gonna get it done before close today if it actually arrives as expected!

Sale must be complete and in service on April 17th 2023 (for the full $7500 value)
On sales 4/18 onward it will likely be the lower $3750.

For vehicles placed in service before or on April 17, 2023, the credit is calculated as a $2,500 base amount plus, for a vehicle which draws propulsion energy from a battery with at least 7 kilowatt hours of capacity, $417, plus an additional $417 for each kilowatt hour of battery capacity in excess of 5 kilowatt hours, up to an additional $5,000 beyond the base amount. In general, the minimum credit amount will be $3,751 ($2,500 + 3 * $417), representing the credit amount for a vehicle with the required minimum of 7 kilowatt hours of battery capacity.

At least there are a little over two weeks to make it in under the wire, I thought they'd cut it off today!

They need to publish the final rules on the 17th in the Federal Register, bureaucratic process working to your advantage !!

Dealer sent me this. I may have been one of the lucky ones where my truck was shipped back to MI to have the battery modules replaced. You can see the truck appears to have been started in Woodhaven MI on 3/13.

My dad's truck appears to have been started in Mass yesterday, or thats how I am understanding the notes.

So far my dealer nor Ford has been able to give me history details of the movement of the truck to know if it was on its way out to MI on 3/13, or on its way back. The shipping company I have been able to track never had the truck leave their system, but shows pending pickup now so we shall see.

Scratch that, our order type updated from "individual" to "load child" so we have been assigned a shipping truck! Will hopefully be on the road soon!

I chatted with ford just a few minutes ago and they told me my truck was at their Kentucky truck plant

Do you guys see any updates to the order tracker at all, or just the usual "Your order is being shipped to [blank]"?

Regarding the locations, US tracker still blanked out, but not to worry about that, it's a web site database glitch

The Maine bound trucks show "Shipped" in the public facing trackers, that will persist until the dealers receive them then it will update to Final Preparation

Mine has been blank for a few weeks, and I think it has to do with my truck possibly being sent back to michigan for a module replacement, but it about to be loaded onto a truck for final delivery now so don't let that discourage you.
