Anyone else find that the time between "Awaiting Shipment" to "ETA End Date" is much MUCH greater for Kansas City trucks vs Dearborn trucks? What gives!?!

I guess you guys have seen this by now?? Those with built trucks be happy!!

March 18, 2021
DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. has begun building some F-150 pickups and Edge crossovers without certain electronic modules due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage and parts disruptions following last month's severe winter weather.
The automaker said it would build and hold affected vehicles for a number of weeks, then ship them to dealers once modules are available and it can finish comprehensive quality checks.
The F-150 pickup, redesigned for the 2021 model year, is the nation's top-selling vehicle and a key profit driver for the automaker. It is built at plants in Michigan and Missouri.
Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker said Thursday the modules needed for the affected vehicles are "tied to basic vehicle functions, such as windshield wiper motors and infotainment features."
Felker said the updates can be performed at an offsite location at a later date, which would protect future production at the affected plants.
The news comes the same week General Motors announced it was building certain 2021 light-duty full-size pickup trucks without a fuel management module, hurting those vehicles' fuel economy performance.

Looks like Ford production is finally in full swing now! My buddy just placed his order last Saturday on the 13th and already had a vin this Tuesday 3/16. Glad all the options that were holding up builds at the factory aren't an issue anymore as well!

Ruh Roh! Not so fast! Mine says “in transit”. Hope that’s true. Hope it was built before they ran out of parts. Not a good sign if you’re still waiting on your build. Not good at all.

Just when I thought production was getting better (n) Luckily mine is enroute but I'm sure my buddies will take a while before he sees any movement
Yep. Just hoping mine was built and is really in transit.

Arrived at dealer today 03/22. Production date 03/10, ship date 03/12 from Kansas City to Southern Ontario.
Checked it out can’t wait... rear axle was clean no issues to be worried about. Hope everyone gets a sneak peak of theirs soon too!!
Congrats! Think you're the first one from our group to get it so far! Don't forget to show us some pictures (y)

What a freakin bummer. After watching the tracker for thirteen days with an estimated 3/20 delivery date overnight I see this from 3/20 to 4/6. What the heck is going on?

Has anyone from our 3/8 build week had the privilege to take delivery yet? Be sure to post back here when you do!!
Just picked up my truck yesterday (and posted to order list built 2/9). I had dealer pick up my truck from OKC rail yard and the guy who did was awe struck by the massive amounts of trucks awaiting convoy. He said it was like a small city and the people there were glad he came to get it. Who knows how much longer it would of taken.
There maybe a chip shortage but there is a massive amount of vehicles being made.

Still waiting on mine. Railcar has been stopped in Staples, MN (less than 100 miles from final destination!) for the last 4 days. It's quite aggravating having it so close and so far away. Especially since I have a PCO that expires at the end of this month that I didn't think I'd be able to use since my original estimated delivery date was 4/16.

Talk with your dealer, they can lock that in with it so close. Mine did

How many days did it take for yours to move from "In Production" to "built"?

Mine shows in production 3/14 and built 3/17, although my window sticker blend date was 3/11.
