4/26 Build Week

[cghall77]

Any one else jump the gun and now have deliveries like its Christmas? ?

Mats have arrived. Gatorback mud flaps and hood deflector to be here tomorrow. Bedrug bed mat next week. Truck cap is also supposed to be here next week. Wheel well liners next week too.

Still trying to figure out if I want to level it but not something I will do right away, just want to hit the 1500km so we can tow, will worry about esthetics later.

Build date of April 30, ETA of June 2, now joined the 10/31 club.

My options now are to buy something else to tow my trailer or cancel all my summer plans. Tough pill to swallow when I ordered this truck at the beginning of February.

With my luck, I'd cancel the order and see it for sale on the lot the next day. ?

Same lol. It's hard to decide what to do. I found a really similar truck 1.5 hours from where I live that I'm going to check out this weekend, if it's still available. I'll likely just get that and cancel my order if it's good to go. I'm sure these trucks really won't take until October to show up, but like y'all I need one before then.

Truck was delivered to dealer today. I just wanted to throw in some details in case it might help anyone. First of all, my truck is missing those same 4 modules in ETIS, I don't think that site is any indication of what chips may or may not be missing from your vehicle.

My tracker has been stuck on 'awaiting shipment' since 05/02 until it suddenly changed to delivered today. My ETA was originally 05/28, but was pushed out to 06/27 and it was still delivered before the original ETA of 05/28.

I haven't posted news of hope in awhile. I decided to stop checking my tracker daily lol. Today I actually deleted all the various tracker bookmarks I have saved. Here's some hope:

CNBC is reporting that the chip shortage is starting "level off" for the auto industry. Shares of Ford, GM, and Stellantis* have increased today on that news. GM announced today that they're opening up 5 of the plants they shutdown due to the chip shortage. It seems we're turning the corner. As I mentioned before, try to focus more on preparation for your truck's arrival (e.g., getting quotes for mods then saving that money each pay period, buying accessories, etc). We'll all still have fun this summer; with or without our trucks! Hold the line. Lol

Great, then that probably means that anyone that hasn't had a truck built yet will likely get theirs still long before we see ours.

While trying to stay optimistic, the dealer told me today there are are 27,000+ trucks with missing chips. If the chip shortage is coming to a leveled off state, let's get those trucks sitting in lots delivered, flagged as a priority then worry about new builds. Pipe dream, I know. Working in manufacturing and an avid investor, I know one of the key metrics is asset utilization, keeping those lines running, but now have a problem with on hand inventory. No way they should be seeing any stock price increase until they have cleared those lots.

It was posted on Blue Oval the other day that the 10/31 dates may be place holder for chips.

Which means they are not accurate for the vehicles but they can't give a specific date on completion.
