Talk about disgruntled. My order in production o7/07/21 just went from 8/15 to 10/31 eta!

Accounting counts it as "sold" when it rolls off the line, it isn't necessarily sold at that point though.You sure? Thought someone mentioned when it rolls off the line its a sell for them. Something about all those trucks in lots waiting for chips still count towards their total numbers.
Nope, ford does not get credit for a sale until it hits the dealer's lot, otherwise, those thousands of trucks in lots would have counted as sales and they would not have lost their status.You sure?

I had the same thought, but i would hate to start at the bottom again. I will going to present this to the boss when she gets home...lol!!As I thought about it. If they are willing to re-order for you, leaving the current order alone, I say go for it. You might get lucky and hit one of those sweet spot windows where the truck sails through. Take home whichever arrives first.
Mine was special order Blue I assume because it was considered fleetIs your sticker Green = special order. Blue = dealer inventory.
We had a lot of that happen but I‘ve seen some of those 10/31 ETA get updated to an earlier build date. At least you have a VIN...Talk about disgruntled. My order in production o7/07/21 just went from 8/15 to 10/31 eta!
Perhaps your platinum came in already and the dealership sold it to someone else without realizing it because they coded it wrong so it came in as dealer stock and didn’t realize it was yoursI know Ford received a boat load of chips for all the F-150s, but i just received an email from my dealer that really ticks me off. Here is what they just mentioned to me;
"I am starting to think that maybe we should just reorder your truck.
I say that because I am hearing that they are moving new Special ordered units through faster than inventory sitting at the factories.
12 weeks is what I am hearing."
If this is true, this really ticks me off. Im waiting for 7 months now and i am hearing this from my dealer. I ordered a fully loaded Platinum and they have new Lariats coming in next week. I am so confused on Fords process and transparency on this matter! Why are they moving newly ordered
Nah, that didn't happen because for one thing I am in constant contact with my dealer, and I am watching carefully. Since my original posting i have seen movement on the vehicle. I now have an EDD 8/27.Perhaps your platinum came in already and the dealership sold it to someone else without realizing it because they coded it wrong so it came in as dealer stock and didn’t realize it was yours
Welcome to the waiting game!!Talk about disgruntled. My order in production o7/07/21 just went from 8/15 to 10/31 eta!
Tell them to order another truck but keep they one you already have and you will take whichever comes first. Should be taking 2022 orders soon unless that has been pushed back because of the shortages.I know Ford received a boat load of chips for all the F-150s, but i just received an email from my dealer that really ticks me off.

My dealer stated they are not taking any more orders and they will not take orders until November 2021 for the 22s.Tell them to order another truck but keep they one you already have and you will take whichever comes first.

Trucks do not count as a sell till the dealer receives the truck, the dealer buys them from Ford.
I wonder if the dealer meant September, not November. The 22 order bank is scheduled to open in mid-September and production is scheduled to begin in mid-November at Dearborn and first week of December at Kansas City. That's according to Blue Oval Forums, I suppose it could change.My dealer stated they are not taking any more orders and they will not take orders until November 2021 for the 22s.
