Watch pot. But yea. Went through similar be prepared for the tracker to drive you nuts, well not really but when it gets to the produced state just ignore it otherwise shipping and prep will drive you nuts.I received my first (hopefully last) 45-day delay email from Ford. This email indicated "supply chain" issues. However, my dealer (today) said my order was "Clean" which meant "all parts available".
Hurry up and wait.
You'd think that computers could do a better job of keeping customers informed. However, computers can only do what they are programmed to do.My DH was built 12/4 ordered 3/28 & showed up at my dealer with no notice 12/18. Never got to shipped & was not even able to view the window sticker on the tracker.
Forgot to mention I received 3 of the 45 day e-mails & then nothing until I contacted the chat line on 12/7.
You make Ford sound like the Federal government!Being an old, Fortune 100 company, I suspect Ford has a lot of networks which not only operate using different, legacy software applications, the physical networks themselves have never been integrated. Site X has a fine layout, but when attempting to transfer database, inventory or shipping information from one organizational unit to another, system-to-system, it can be next to impossible. Updating in real-time? Fuggetaboutit.
That is what my dealer said.It has been stated over and over the "45-day supply chain delay" is just an automated email that most get. It started with the Bronco's and continues to be in the system. I don't think there was any parts shortages listed for the Mustang.
