I need an update! A few days to a week? Is this accurate? If so it should ship any day now if it hasn’t already right based on this?

Next train to Texas @bretthicks2

Bingo!

What’s weird is it doesn’t have the green dot for built when I click on the past emails. But when I log in with order number it does.

Has anyone else received this message in their Ford Pass app? I got to the Activision Pending stage, but I guess someone in MI didn't accept the prompt in the vehicle. Oh well, it was worth a try. Guess I'll have to wait until it's delivered.
On the bright side, someone must've been in my truck today so maybe it was being loaded it on a train.

Wouldn't emails have static images?

While using the public database would show live status, as would your personal order page at FORD.COM, all looks good for now just need to get her shipped!

I received access a couple of days after the truck came off the assembly line…for about 7-days.

Initially I received the following message in Ford Pass:

“You have successfully been authorized to remotely control and view the location of F-150”

A week later I received the following:

“VEHICLE ACCESS REMOVED: your remote access has been removed from F150 due to a master reset in the vehicle.”

It was fun while it lasted being able to see the truck’s location, mileage, SOC and such.

No. I click on the email and it takes me to the order page and I have to login. It’s a different landing page.

Right, that's your personal order page login name and password protected.
The data there and the public trackers can be out of phase by 24 hours, sometimes worse over a weekend.

Just reactivate your truck in the FordPass app ( you may have to delete your vehicle from the app and add it again) but you will resume the "pending activation" state until somebody at the factory accepts the activation in the truck for you. Good Luck.....

I get the following message now when I click the Activate button:

I'll wait it out. I hope to be sitting in the truck within a few weeks.

Oops! still a lot a surprises when you don't really own your truck yet..... sorry about that..
Mine has been showing me "activation pending" for a few weeks now (8/15/23 production and still now).... I have still some "little" hope that the activation on the factory side might happen (or not until I finalize the purchase of my truck at the dealership, if it ever shows up....). Patience...patience...patience...

At this point I'm actually relying on everyone reporting in when a substantial change occurs.

Things that would help:

• All members stick to their own build week for reports, others can read and send reactions (likes) or congrat's when deliveries occur, otherwise remain silent unless you would like to help a newbie with researching techniques.
  
  
• All members can report when a substantial change occurs in their build week thread. (new action dates In Production, Built, Shipped Preparing for Delivery)
  
  
• No comments need for negative reports that's frustrating for everyone to see the negatives and worse so when folks are cross posting negative data or observations outside their own thread.
  
  
• Doing the above will streamline the content of useful data, I'd recommend, you monitor a couple of the weeks preceding your build week to get a feel / sense for what's coming down the pike for your build.
