I have a sneaking suspicion that they are waiting until they have a full carrier to go to the individual dealers.

Are you all waiting at Twin Oaks, PA?

I am waiting at Twin Oaks. ROAD TRIP!!!!

Yep, I see yours... how long have you been waiting?

Where did you go to see it? I think it’s been there since around 7/2-7/5.

Mine is in Richmond, CA about 45 minutes from my dealer.

There is clearly no rhyme or reason to the final delivery though. My dealer told me his demo vehicle came in yesterday even though mine was at the rail yard a full week earlier.

I agree. All of us are around an hour from Twin Oaks, so most likely I will be delayed as well.

Hey @run4tacos were you able to confirm that yours is in Richmond? I hope mine is too but at this point I have no idea. I can see my truck on the United Road website and it shows that it will be trucked over from Richmond. But, after speaking to a guy at United Road, he said they may no even have the truck or be transporting it. Every VIN enters their system automatically even if they won't be the ones to transport it.

My Ford tracker online just updated again and push my truck back by another two days. My new delivery window is 7/17/2022 - 7/23/2022 and my original was 7/9/2022 - 7/15/2022.

I kind of hope it isn't in Richmond. If it is, that means it has been just sitting in that lot for a few weeks. I wonder how quickly the battery drains just sitting still....

My FordPass request was approved about two week ago.

The car was parked at the Roush plant with no movement for about a week, and then it was moved to a parking lot outside of the proving grounds for two days. The car was then charged to 100% and parked outside of the ford headquarters for 2 days. The car was then moved back to the Roush plant and sat for a day.

This morning I received an email saying the car was factory reset and I no longer have access to its location. Hopefully that means it will be built or shipped or whatever pretty soon.

This sounds similar to what's happened to me. FordPass access was accepted on July 6, when the truck was parked in the lot of Roush Building 9. On July 8 it was moved to a lot near the Dearborn Proving Grounds and fully charged. Then on July 10 it was moved to a lot near Ford HQ.

The location hasn't updated since July 11, and the FordPass app will crash when I try to unlock the doors. I haven't received an email saying I've lost FordPass access, but it does seem like I have. I haven't received the "built" email, and Ford.com still shows "In Production - In Progress."

I've been patient thus far; only contacted my dealer once, but my 1.74% rate expires on July 29. Lender says they may be able to extend, but only if I have a delivery date. Dealer says "it's on the ramp, waiting to ship," but I think he's full of ship. Meanwhile, it seems A LOT of people with blend dates after me have built, shipped, and est. delivery dates. Some builds are IDENTICAL to mine, down to the color. WTF? I'm apoplectic.

Another can kick down the road moved a 4th time to 7/21-7/27. I have to remind myself that I did get a chance to order for MY2022

Edit- I received the official email from Ford Tuesday night 7/19 regarding this change.

Just took my truck home today.
It was sitting at Twin Oaks, PA for about 2 weeks and finally delivered to my dealer on 7/11. They delivered 5 trucks that day (3 ICE F-150's, my lightning, and the dealer demo lightning).

As others have said, the truck is great and well worth the wait. Hoping the rest of the 5/16 gang and earlier builds get theirs soon.

@TaxmanHog here's some stats...
initial ETA 6/22-6/29
on 6/29 ETA changed to 7/2-7/8
on 7/8 ETA changed to 7/9-7/14
delivered to dealer on 7/11

My blend 4/20 SOC 59% 96 MILES odometer, still in Dearborn. So plenty of juice for another 90 days for me.
