Got my email this morning that my vehicle is built! Estimated delivery window is 4/23 - 4/29. We’ll see how that holds up.

Adding to everyone else's happy messages that my truck finally shows as built too (as of yesterday, 3/31).

My reservation shows estimated delivery of 4/15 - 4/21. Vinview says 4/18, so I'm really hoping Ford figures out a way to retain the full EV tax credit allotment!

Sorry man. I'd take this as a good sign though that there will be movement on yours soon!

Also, I still haven't received the update email that other people have mentioned, so I guess we'll see if it actually starts to move.

Where do you find Estimated Delivery information?

Where do you find Estimated Delivery information?

Mine was in the email from Ford that said the truck was built. I think it is also listed in the reservations/orders page if you log into your Ford account, but I have not looked at that page since they sent me the email.

Hmm, no email from Ford or info on the status page either.

finally decided to call Ford to see if they could tell me something I didn't know. the last update on Ford.com was 2/7 and says in production 2/4. He didn't have much to offer except that his system shows an update on 2/13 giving an anticipated delivery of 4/7-4/13. taken with a grain of salt cause as we all know shipping to delivery is usually a couple of weeks and there is no indication that it's shipped. but fingers crossed, perhaps it will go out this week? wouldn't that be sweet!

Once the truck has reached BUILT status, you can see a delivery ETA on your personal order page.

The ETA will be publicly visible once it has reached SHIPPED status, on these pages searchable with WBDO order code and VIN. Ford-USA & Ford-Canada

A reminder for the 2/6 build week folks, none that I'm tracking show shipped yet, as well as several folks from build week 1/30 and prior.

I noticed that

I noticed on an earlier post of yours that your orginal build date was 2/6. I believe the fire was on 2/4 so yours hadn't gone through the line. Mine was built on 2/5 which my dealer confirmed, but it was sent to get the spray in bedliner. I'm making a supposition here (which is all any of us can do) but it sounds to me like the line is up and running now but as we know going through the factory only takes about 24 hours. But retrofitting existing vehicles will take longer as they'll have to move the vehicle to a facility which probably isn't an assembly line. more like one at a time.

But all in all, your post is the first one I've seen indicating that things are starting to happen. .... I hope!

found a video showing the complete replacement of a HVB module replacement. Gives a good perspective of what I was trying to describe in my earlier post. in addition to all the time it takes to do this, you also have to add in the time to ship it to a facility where this can be done. requires not only a lift but the diagnostic tools as well.

I got my email on 4/1/23 and it wasn't an April fools joke It says it will be delivered to my dealer between 4/18-24. Then the dealer has to ship it to me since they messed up on getting it to a dealer near me so I have no idea how long that will take
