BINGO!Clearly there is no chip shortage if they are building and shipping trucks after the parked ones were built.
That's what pisses me off about the whole situation.

Exactly why im pissedI’m not pissed at Ford for not delivering trucks.
There’s a worldwide pandemic and their chip source burned down.
(Part of it anyway)
I’m pissed at Ford for how they’ve just completely blown us off like they couldn’t give a flying fcuk!
Exactly! That's what's really making me pissed. I've contacted Ford through a few channels now. And every time I get "there's a chip shortage". Ya no shit, doesn't explain why the May ones are being delivered.Clearly there is no chip shortage if they are building and shipping trucks after the parked ones were built.

I was doing the same. You have the clowns that don't understand and post "what do you expect in a chip shortage". I reply that I would expect trucks to be built and shipped in order they are received.Ive been blasting Ford on every media platform....... clowns
Can't agree it moreI was doing the same. You have the clowns that don't understand and post "what do you expect in a chip shortage". I reply that I would expect trucks to be built and shipped in order they are received.
Then you get the customer service rep that post, dm vin so I can look i to this further for you. All you get in response is your truck is waiting on chips. No shit Sherlock. ?
What pisses me off is a truck that my dealer ordered the day AFTER ordering my truck is now sitting on the dealer lot.Clearly there is no chip shortage if they are building and shipping trucks after the parked ones were built.

It’s a money thing alright. Due to extreme corporate greed. They can’t stuff their pockets fast enough with it. At the expense of us waiting for our trucks that have now been sitting out in the elements for months on end.So just my thoughts but they can't shift all chips to the trucks already built as that will ultimately slow down the entire process. In the ideal world, all new chips would go to the trucks that are parked but that can't work as they are not going to continue to build partially built trucks. They are trying to continue the production line while finishing the parked trucks as they can. As to why a more recently parked truck might be finished sooner than a truck that has been parked longer, I can only assume that the way they have these trucks stacked in the parking lots that they have to work their way from the outside toward the middle. I ordered two trucks. One for my son and one for my daughter. They were ordered on 3/16. They have identical VIN's except the color code and they are one away from each other so the orders were accepted and VIN's created at the same time. One was put in production on 4/28 the other on 4/30. Wednesday I see on the tracker that the one produced on 4/30 is built and yesterday moved to shipped. The one produced on 4/28 still says "In Production" and is on chip hold according to my dealer. I know this seems backward as the 4/28 one would be finished first or so you would think but I have worked production before and I have seen how things get stacked and you can only get to the newer ones first, and you cannot shift parts to the preproduced ones at the cost of the production line. It simply is a money issue and they use "excess" parts, employees, and time to finish the "stockpile" when they can. Anyway, I know it is annoying but just my thoughts.
yes please that would be awesome.So far this list is only Canadian dealerships, but I can start one for American dealerships as well.
These trucks should not have been built in the first place.People are pissed because the trucks they ordered months ago, were built weeks ago and parked because Ford didn’t have chips to finish them.
And now they’re seeing trucks roll off the assembly line COMPLETE WITH CHIPS that WEREN’T used to finish their trucks.
I’m really surprised that these people seem to have no idea what happens to a vehicle that’s abandoned in an open lot for weeks and months.
These trucks SHOULD HAVE BEEN parked in vacant warehouses and even then... many of them would have still suffered the effects of rodents and pests.
These trucks are fcuked up! I’m sure Ford will make them right, what choice do they have?
But it ain’t gonna happen fast and as far as I’m concerned these aren’t new trucks anymore.
I think they learned their lesson. We don't see them parking incomplete vehicles anymore, unless their is some QA issue.Well... "hind sight being 20/20" I'd say they should have leased warehouses to store them instead of abandoning them in open lots.
God knows with the effects of the pandemic there must be millions of square feet of empty warehouse space with landlords desperate for tenants, even short term.
I really doubt anyone at Ford thinks that they made the right decision doing what they did.
That and better communication on what that is going to take with some timelines.I think they learned their lesson. We don't see them parking incomplete vehicles anymore, unless their is some QA issue.
Though they need to make sure they allocate enough parts to finish up the trucks that have been waiting. That is what we all want.
