dchan Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Who knows what algorithm and information is being used. Mine (Platinum Hybrid AWD almost fully loaded) was order confirmed September 27 2022 On December 15th was notified that the build is scheduled for week of Feb 20. On January 17th, I was then notified that the build had been moved to week of Feb 27. My dealer then notified me on Feb 13th that the date had been moved to week of March 7th When the announcement came out for the LAP shutdown I went and looked at the tracker and it had been moved to March 14th and today it's blank. Oh well, Fingers crossed that once they get the issue ironed out, that they will be able to catch up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked again and it is GONE!!! Nothing. A Big Blank spot. ?? So what does this mean? They announced this morning another week of down time but 3/15 was still showing. The week delay should not have hurt my date. But now they scratched it completely. Does that mean the software issue is more difficult than they thought? AMAZING!!! UPDATE 23 February 2023 Just went and checked the Tracker and my Hybrid has been Scheduled for 3/22/2023. Lets hope they can keep this date.

So I'm sure there is going to be another shuffle in our scheduled build dates until they really get up and going with production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what happened to the 2/27 resume date? If in fact they resume building on 3/6, I sure hope they don't slip it anymore. Thanks for the update.

Maybe they are taking next week to do a flash update on all of the vehicles they have already produced? My build date was 2/27, pushed to 3/7 and then 3/16 and yesterday disappeared.

Just checked again and it's still 3/22. Having said that they have been changing it late afternoon most of the time. So I'll watch it today to see if in fact it does change.

My ST-Line Elite has been produced according to my Dealer and Ford customer service but the tracker still says in Production and the status has not changed since 1/30. What determines an update to the tracker? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What determines an update to the tracker? @EcapeHybridGuy Not really sure as I've NEVER been successful in ordering and having Ford build my vehicle. I ordered a 22 Maverick Hybrid and it was NEVER built. Every now and then Ford will send me an email saying they are still trying to get it scheduled. But I know they aren't. My only "guess" is Built. That is the next tick on the Tracker. But you say it is Built. So after that is Shipped. So I can only guess it is built but because of the software hold they haven't classified it Built yet until they flash the software after 3/6 when they open up again. But it is all a guess at this point. Edited February 24, 2023 by SgtLip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What determines an update to the tracker? The most accurate update is the VVR report (or new system) that is available to your dealer 24/7. While the primary status shows the vehicle is built, did you ask the dealer if it has any secondary information - hold for parts, released for shipping, etc. If you are still showing "In Production", it might be built, but requires the software re-flash. When my F-450 was built last year, it didn't show "Built" until it had been released for shipping and the tracker was often about 1 day behind the info received from my dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguy Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Well I spent all morning looking for a decent price for a '22 PHEV or Hybrid. I did not see anything below MSRP or below resale value; and what was available is the standard fleet white trim with no adaptive cruise control or something with 40,000 miles on it. To me it makes no sense to save $5,000 to get a used '22 model rather than wait for my pre-order. I really don't mind the wait but with the electric/phev credit being up in the air it is adding some unneeded anxiety to this purchase. Also my trade in value for my current car is bouncing all over the place.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even get the dealer to give me a quote on my car to know if I want to use it as a trade in or shop around to get the best cash amount for it. It's a 2 year old Lexus Hybrid fully loaded and Lexus offered me below KBB Trade-In value. They sad the amounts were going down. But now they are headed back up. So I'm wondering if Lexus won't give me a good number, will a Ford Dealer? So I wait to find out. I just may use Carvanna to sell it if they'll give me a good number.

It sounds like a hold for the software update mentioned in the articles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope mine gets released soon. I was in a car accident last month in my '22 Hybrid. One of the parts is on indefinite backorder. It will be a toss up as to if my '23 gets delivered before my '22 is repaired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers09 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Great news on checking the tracker this morning, as DW's 2023 PHEV is showing scheduled to week of 27th March. Hopefully that's an indication LAP is resuming production next week. Anyone else, who was unscheduled a couple of weeks ago, seeing a week being re-assigned to their orders.

dchan Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The tracker that we get to as customers, for me, still shows no schedule, however my dealership replied to my inquiry this morning and says my build is also March 27.

I checked a few minutes ago and it is now Scheduled for 3/21 but the As of date is still 2/23. Hopefully they are just tweaking the schedule now anticipating the restart.

dchan Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) some where I read that the first "notification" is "week of" then as they get closer, and the system gets tweaked to an actual day the build is scheduled to start. So in My case, the Dealer had notified me week of March 27 (Monday) and now the website shows build start date of 3/31 I wonder if that's the case for SgtLip's as well. refining the date?

escape20 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 as the dates change in the tracker, do you also get an email?

dchan Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 My tracker has shown a date at times and other times none. I have not gotten an email since they moved it to Feb 27. back on January 17th.
