I have gotten 5 “update” emails since I placed my order on 1/21 and only 2 times did it actually have a meaningful change. Once to add back in the heated steering wheel and once to remove the security and scales. The other 3 emails did not appear to actually change anything from what I can tell. I got two “updates” this evening 10 minutes apart but again no changes from what I can tell.
Scheduled for Production - Its all happing so fast now
I went from wondering what ever happened to that 100 bucks I put down in October of 2021 to an email from Ford this morning that my truck is scheduled for production! It's still a little bit out as right now it says 3/27. But ever since i was invited to order my truck on the 19th of January I feel like it's been a steady stream of updates or information. Can't wait for delivery!
Fingers crossed you are next!

Got another "order has been updated" email today. It's so hard to actually tell when Ford makes a change.... This time it looks like "CHMSL Camera Removal" but there is no credit for them removing the camera. That verbiage just shows up under the build. So not really sure if that means it could be removed, it will be, or what. I would hope if they remove the feature they give some kind of credit. I do think Ford would benefit from a little "update restraint". I get that inventory is a living/breathing thing and changes all the time but maybe only send out an update once a week vs 3 a day going back and forth. Especially if the build is not for almost 2 months.

I get it. What’s odd is there is no credit for that removal. At least not yet. For all the other removals there was some kind of credit. Not that I think 50 bucks for the lack of a security system is fair but at least it was something lol.The CHMSL Camera Removal is the camera by the third brake light that aims towards the cargo area/bed of the truck. Ford has been deleting features due to the chip shortages and many of these deletes cannot be added on after the truck is built, which is obviously not ideal and pretty poor on Ford's side.
Hang in there. I do wonder how they are selecting what goes into production before others. My guess is it’s a feature or color or some kind of operational efficiency. Sending positive thoughts that this week is the week you get your date!Must be nice... I reserved in Jun of 2021, ordered on Dec 15th 2022... STILL waiting on a scheduled production date. Received countless emails stating my order was updated and like you, 3 of them within 10 minutes of each other. But here I am, waiting and waiting just to get a date.
2/27 is right around the corner. You will be styling and profiling in no time. Let us know how it goes. I’m on the fence with Sunrun. Anytime it takes me 4 transfers to someone for them to tell me I have to spend 150 bucks just for them to say if they can do the work…. I am suspect. Currently I have two quotes from local electricians and they are reasonable. The hard part will be waiting on the charger.Seems kinda random how production dates move around. Has to be based on model.
I also got invite on 12/15 and immediately ordered. Took dealer 2 weeks to accept the order. 2 weeks ago got 2/27/23 production date which I check every day to see if its changing. So far looking good. I ordered Platinum in the Star White. The deletes are troubling but I'll just live with them.
Went all in for Fisker Ocean One in August because I had no faith I would see a Lightening before 24 and it looked like the One would arrive latest 2nd quarter 23. Boy has that changed! At best the One will arrive 3rd quarter but looks like I might have Lightening by the end of March!!! And the IRS hosed us on the One tax rebate even though we have confirmed order with $5K down. Not sure if I will keep the One but I have a guy who wants to buy it if I don't. Depends on my wife who would be the primary driver.
And Sunrun just called to discuss Chargepro and Install. Not sure I will use them for install but they quoted $1250 all in. 100% sure they can't find adders since I just built this detached garage with its own meter and I have new 200 amp panel with nothing but lights and 2 thru wall AC units running to to support my office which is in the garage.. The charger will be on same wall as the panel within 3' so no conduit run to speak of.
Really getting anxious to get my hands on the truck.
Date moved from 3/27 to 4/3. I guess it’s not happing as fast as I thought 
. Still happy to have a date!
. Still happy to have a date!Same here. Pushed back a week to 4/3 from originally 3/27Yes my 2/27 also pushed to 3/6 We should hope its only 1 week.
It took about two weeks for me from dealer accepted to scheduled for production. That said my guess is they are not scheduling anything new until they clear the battery isssue. Again just a guess. Hang in there. We all benefit right now from them getting the next few weeks right. 🤞After placing your order, how long did it take to get an email about the truck going into production? I ordered 1/26 and it still shows the last checkmark completed for order accepted by dealer.
I think I doomed myself with my overly zealous and positive "It's all happing so fast now". Pushed from 4/3 to 4/10. Likely taking longer on the battery issue to figure out what happens next. I'll keep everyone posted .
.Same. I’m now 4/17. It’s moved several times from my 3/27 original date. At this point I’m assuming it will be late may early June. Hope I’m wrong.Welp now mine got pushed back to 5/1. Was originally supposed to be Feb. Thanks a lot Ford!
Update: New date now 4/27. Third push back since the pause in production.
Pushed out again. New date now to 5/1. It’s the fourth push since “the fires”. At some point @Ford Motor Company get your stuff together and put a realistic date on the table. Each week they must keep pushing it out and out. Push it out a month and then hit the date vs this constant weekly pushing. They have totally soured my experience at this point.
