It would hurt Tesla the most based on their volume but also the other OEM's that are non-union.

Agreed. BEV's need incentives and infrastructure for the market and sales to grow. The government has no business subsidizing the UAW.

So... call your Dealer for a status update!

As fuzzymoomoo suggested... give the VIN number to a Ford dealership and they'll pull the available service history. It should show all warranty, recall and paid service work done at a Ford dealership.

I'm not sure what "order tracker" you're referring to and I have not seen an "In Storage" status in Vehicle Visibility reports. If a Dealer Principal had access to particular Ford executives, any concern or questions regarding vehicles being held due to the microchip shortage could be addressed with a phone call. Order tracker went from 5/30-6/5 TO OCTOBER 31,2021... Produced vehicles being held for the microchip issue will now show a "Micro Chip At Plant On Hold" status in Vehicle Visibility. I believe that Ford is using 10/31/2021 as a default ETA for the affected units pending resolution or updated information on microchip availability for the affected vehicle.

The Inventory Manager function in the Vehicle Locator program that dealerships use at the FMCDealer.com portal to manage their inventory, search for desired inventory at other dealerships (Dealer Trades) and other functions now includes an "On Hold" notice for any vehicles that are being held due to the microchip shortage. In addition, the affected vehicles will not be available for transfer to other dealerships.

The 2014 Fusion eSourceBook is no longer available from Ford.

On the FordDirect dealership sites that include vehicles "In Transit" there should be a filter to select "In Transit" vehicles. In addition, on the search results pages, there will be a "Status" notice showing whether the vehicle is "In Stock" or "In Transit". The "In Transit" status will clear after the vehicle has been delivered to the dealership and the delivery status is processed by Ford.

Now we'll see how soon members start asking about when the Lightning Order Guide will be available! Answer... not yet!

FYI... Ford is showing no preview of the scheduling plan after this week. I expect that they'll post a preview for next week at least by Friday before Ford offices close for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Until Ford issues a statement about it, we won't really know until Ford provides more information on the vehicle specifications or until Ford releases the Lightning order guide.

Ford's Vehicle Visibility Bulletin Board feature, for vehicles traced past their original ETA, is now identifying produced vehicles being held due to the microchip issue. In the past, the "Track & Trace" function has been totally worthless. At least this new addition helps identify vehicles being held due to the microchip issue.

That's because I don't usually have access to the Lincoln scheduling notes regarding Lincoln commodities, etc.

Dealers can filter their inventory so that their website only shows units in stock.

2022MY Super Duty scheduling starts on Thursday, May 27th but the Job #1 Date for the start of production is 07/09/2021 at the Kentucky Truck Plant (KTP). Unless Ford changes the usual scheduling process, retail orders don't start scheduling until after the "Okay to Buy" status is achieved which is 5 consecutive days of production with zero defects.

The beginning of each new Model Year starts with Job #1. During the year, there is usually at least a Job #2 update and possibly a Job #3 version that may include new model series (King Ranch, Timberline, etc.), options or features that are either added or re-aligned within packages, paint availability changes, etc. Bug fixes are part of the issues addressed at the production level on an ongoing basis and have nothing to do with a Job # designation. Job # notices are included in the updated order guides that are posted and available for download in the Dealer Order Guides section.
