[Trucks sitting idle waiting for chips]

Tim I think I'm going to cancel my order and then reorder. People are doing that and getting their trucks in a reasonable time. There's currently some incentives, like $1000, and I'm going to wait until Wednesday and reorder. The current X-Plan price is the same as it was when I ordered in February and I spoke with two dealers who said they'd honor X-Plan pricing. So I can get a truck at some point that hasn't been sitting in a parking lot for months and save some money too. 9/23 and it's still not here! Amazing. Cheers

My Platinum has been sitting on Ramp 59 for six weeks and I'm getting frustrated about it. I ordered mine 16 weeks ago which feels like a lifetime and trucks built after mine have already been delivered. I got a vehicle visibility report from my dealer today and it says "Micro chip at plant on hold" since May 3. I'm starting to lose interest in it, it's a "want to have", not a "need to have". Maybe I should just invest the money instead. I'll wait a little longer but I'm running out of patience. Too bad, someones going to buy it at some point and get a real nice truck. ?

 

Maybe a new truck is just Gods way of saying I have too much money.

Thanks again. I find your posts very informative.

Your order would have had a VIN number assigned when it was originally scheduled for production. It couldn't be scheduled for production without having the VIN number assigned. Your Dealer is just teasing you and telling you what they think you want to hear. Tell them you want to see the Vehicle Visibility report for your order and see what story they try to tell you!

 

The "Balance Out" notice isn't for the 2021 Model Year, only the Job #1 2021MY orders. Orders and production go through several stages during the Model Year... Job #1, Job #2, etc. 

Good morning Ice-capades. I'm trying to catch up on the information here, kinda new guy, and I was wondering about the Job #1, Job #2, etc. Is Job #1 the start of a new model year? Is Job #2 different than #1 because of minor bug fixes and things like that or is it more significant, like new mechanicals or headup display, things that actually upgrade the vehicle? How many Job Numbers would there be in a model year? Thanks
