There is still hope out there for us that don't have any new status dates. Silent_Thunder said that he got an email that his truck was going to be delivered mid June a couple of days ago and it was actually delivered yesterday. It may be the status tracker is not lining up.

Yeah, I think a lot of us will have a surprise in the next 2 weeks!

Let's hope we do. I just hope it doesn't come while I am gone for that week starting Friday.

Not to be a downer.... But the app showed the truck in Michigan so I think many trucks still waiting for transit, but I am sure some surprises ahead for people!

I truly don't believe the delivery emails anyone is getting. We know how far behind the tracker is. We know they have pickups stacked everywhere. No one can truly give the status of truck and rail cars, plus they've never worked in the past. I think they have a week or two to still get all the several thousand current built pickups shipped. I believe if your blend date has come and gone you will see your truck within 3 weeks. I believe all following trucks will be at your dealer about 3 weeks after your blend date.

Ford's tracker hasn't ever worked for built and deliver from what I can find. My sister bought an F-250 in Feb. Her tracker never updated for the last couple of statuses until the truck was at the dealer and they had picked it up.

Agreed. My truck was at the dealer this time last year while the Tracker was stuck on Built. About a week later the Tracker updated to delivered.

Which is why having the Ford Pass Activated throughout the journey is nice to have, you know where your truck is at, no BS

As I and @rlbussard continue monitoring the FCTP trucks as well as our special orders, we're noticing a trend, emails are lining up with what is happening in the tracker, but it's one step out of phase, several trucks arrived at the dealers ahead of projected delivery window, but they were all local haul, not train-runs, soon we will get a feel for the cross country timing as well.

One more thing, pay attention to the narrative above the date-bar, it's more telling of what is happening, also the CANADA version of the tracker includes more detail in the narrative (like the delivery window) while the truck is in transit status, BTW this site works for US deliveries as well!!

I know that feeling, I’m headed out for a few days soon too.
funny, my vanity plates are probably arriving before truck.

What plates did you go with?

Quick update- no change. 93% charge now, no movement from the prior location. Also have seen 0 emails from Ford. So I’m guessing my truck is not “secretly” headed toward SoCal like some others. Twiddling thumbs…

 

[BlueF150Guy]

Interesting. My FordPass is alive and the truck is parked near Taylor MI. This should be good news!

It’s just hard to sit here and imagine all the bird crap, dust, rust and everything else building up on this brand new $80k truck and there is no information about what’s next. What is the “final launch” and all this BS. Is the truck complete? If yes, then ship it! Had I have kept my Tesla Model Y reservation I would have had it by now and not have just paid $120 for gas. Really losing the excitement of the experience now.

Nothing is going to rust on these trucks in the mere weeks they sit there. First, aluminum body. Second, it’s a truck, they don’t just rust at the slightest hint of moisture. Mine has had 5 years of Missouri humidity parked outdoors to no Ill effect.

If only that we’re true, granted I’m sure Ford has made adjustments. I lived through “rustgate” with my 21 ICE

Tesla owners (because most owners of ev’s )took good ones. i went with B4THNDR. - assigned to me, waiting for plates, then I will transfer.

Anyone get emails today? Seems like emails are still being sent out.
