Oregon dealership. Yeah we will see. Dealer is also cool with me signing purchase agreement while truck is in transport, which is a binding agreement and sent to the bank for financing. This should also satisfy IRS compliance even if I don't take delivery until Jan.

this has been gone over several times. It no longer matters if you have a signed agreement unless it was pre mid year when the rebates were changed if it was done after that and your truck gets here Jan 1st your rebate is based on the new structure.

So I'm SOL with the credit. At least the signed agreement will allow me to maintain the low itnerest rate I got for the loan. I still might pass if I don't get it by 2023.

Wel just talked to Ford customer service rep and my truck is held for the dreaded chip hold. No clue on how long this will delay it. Was hoping for tax credit. 😑

I've seen it more than a few times now where the truck gets put on a chip hold for 1 day for some reason or another. Hopefully you fall into that bin!

Fingers crossed that would be great. Just taking it day by day for now

Build date week 11/21. No blend date added. Any ideas of what I can do to find out the status of the truck build?
Thanks.

The blend date doesn’t appear in the order status I don’t think. Do you have a window sticker? That’s where the blend date is.

my blend date was 11/23. Modules are built with a tear tag, but nothing since then. I don't know if there's a chip hold or what.

Just talked to Ford, I’m on chip hold as well, since Saturday 11/26. They advised checking back once a week. Even with chip hold, my estimated delivery is still 12/21. It could move up sooner if chip hold remedies fast enough.

I love seeing the new build week threads as they are just starting to bloom. Only 4 pages of messages at the moment, give it a week when everyone starts wondering what the hell is going on with whatever is wrong and they blossom! lol!

I just called Ford as well. My truck is on Ramp 51 which means it's on a microchip hold. So we wait.

Did they confirm a chip hold? Ramp 51 doesn't necessarily mean chip hold.
