@TaxmanHog is this a bad sign? I haven’t seen anybody post about getting this email?

My date did change yesterday, but it changed before and I never got an email.
Many folks have been getting this email over the past couple of weeks, hopefully you will be seeing your truck soon, only a 3-4 hour convoy ride from the Rouge.

Correct, it doesnt even have a shipped date listed, just a final prep notice and an email to complete the purchase.
That’s the opposite of mine. I think it’s been stuck at a rail yard outside Chicago for a week. Shipped 9/30 and hasn’t made it to Wisconsin yet

I wish I had a better statement than that sucks. I'm very excited for the truck, but the logistics process at Ford really tests the patience of us all.....

From my powerboost order, it took about 4 hours but I was at the dealership after 2. They inspected it and cleaned it up, removed plastics, and did some normal intake stuff.

Well it looks like they filled in the shipped date overnight to be the same as final preperation date...

@TaxmanHog - Ford Chat indicates it’s sitting at Dearborn 59. Delivery est Oct 23-29.

Assuming with the last update 9/28 + having tear tag/sheet that the next update will be upon shipment? Seems strange the array of ‘last updated’ dates. guessing it only updates when the vehicle is scanned in some specific process vs. all vehicles updating at regular intervals.

What are y’all asking the ford chat that you’re getting actual useful information? EVERY time I ask they just tell me what the tracker says, and politely remind me of the trackers existence.

In the past, ford chat has given me updates weeks ahead of what the tracker would report. So I just ask if they have any updates they can see on their end. Their stuff is 99% a template they send to you, so don't take it personal. They are usually very helpful (as they can be).

The few times I used them, I just played dumb and nice. "Hey, i'm having some issues with the website, could you please give me a status on my order with VIN: XXXXXXXXXXX"
