Order ETA

High_Country · Apr 8, 2022

I got a similar email yesterday- my truck has been in production for a few weeks now.

ETN · Apr 8, 2022

I received an email yesterday stating-

-----
Thanks again for placing your 2022 F-150 Tremor order. We're working hard to assemble your vehicle, but it's going to take more time than expected to finish it.

We want to make sure it's assembled right, so we will be performing quality checks (right...), inspections and tests before it's delivered to you. ... yada yada yada.
-----

The In Production date was 4/2/22, for probably the simplest Tremor in the country, 400A plus 36ga tank and tow pkg (ordered 12/27/21, VIN 1/6/22).

Anyone know if the email verbiage indicates that my truck is now sitting on a lot in MI awaiting chips? Or is this a canned/automated thing, if the VIN doesn't roll off the line after five days of Prod?

That’s the same email a lot of us in chip hold got a few weeks back.

I received the same email last night, my truck has been in production for a few weeks too. I'll check in with my dealer to see if they have any more info. because they told me earlier in the week that they expected it to be delivered to them the last week of April

Yep, my dealer also told me they expect late April. Let me know what you hear, if you don't mind. Biting nails here, lol.

I noticed an email from Ford Motor Company in my inbox yesterday, and got all excited that perhaps the Tremor I ordered on Feb 22nd was starting to move along. Nope. A lot of words in the email that don't really say anything but "not anytime soon..."

I got this email last night as well. Then this morning I got my “Built” email with an ETA of later this month. Hard to tell what Ford is doing any more.

Appreciate the therapy, Powercat. That's awesome to hear, and congrats on the Built email!

Being in manufacturing, can tell you it's not just Ford. World is a mess, and wait till the current Shanghai shenanigans and the cratering of raw materials from Eastern Europe hit the pipes. Not to mention the fall crop yields, re fertilizer shortages and diesel prices. Kinda get the feeling shopping season is now, if it's something you want to own.

Gotta go refresh email again

Some interesting tidbits about rail industry lately, not sure if bad or good re auto deliveries, but hopefully the latter! Thanks for posting.

You're welcome. It's been a frustrating process. Ford should be communicating this to help alleviate some of the aggravation. I know a few retried railroad employees and they say current employees are stressed and a lot just DGAF.

Yep, same in world of industrial- lot of stress, overload, and unfortunately some DGAF, as folks crumble under the load, or are just warm bodies collecting checks, since the 2020 layoffs. Lot of seasoned knowledge lost over the past couple years. But let's not think about the Ford plants..

Yeah, construction side here and it can get pretty tense. Hard to keep morale up these last couple of years.

I’m in Construction/Mech Engineering and I’m very concerned about the future of the industry. At 36 it’s not uncommon for me to be the youngest guy in the room by 20 years. Lot of talent and knowledge aging out and not being replaced by the next generation.

I teach high school, trust me when I say we're screwed.

It's going to be wild in the next 20yrs. The trades really need to bump up the recruiting efforts and pay definitely needs to increase.

Don’t worry, I’m making sure we will have at least one that knows how to work.

I’ve got a little brother who is early 20s, I’ve tried repeatedly to teach him to weld, got him set up for an interview with a big commercial Electrical Contractor, no interest. Frustrating.

I told my wife that I wouldn't be ashamed if our son became a plumber, electrician, welder etc. Damn good money and a rewarding job

Doing the same, and with ya. Take every moment to explain things to little ones, whose minds need wired for know-how, problem-solving, critical thinking, gumption, and dare I say, common sense.

Plan to at least prompt mine towards the same, Texican.
