I see a few posts here about Aug delivery for those on chip hold since march. How did you all find that out ? I am also on chip hold since march; and I haven't heard anything about August.

Sorry to say, but you’re probably in the same boat. My sales rep at the dealer and Ford Marketing at corporate confirmed that August ETA.

Does anyone know if Ford is just saying August because they have no clue when or is that a conservative ETA?

-3/25/22 Scheduled for Production week 5/16/22
-4/7/22 Production date changed to week 6/6/22
-4/14/22 Production changed back to week 5/16/22
-4/22/22 Production changed to week 5/23/22

-5/20/22 Production changed to week 7/18/22
Update:
5/25/22 Production date changed back to week 6/27/22!

That's twice now that they've pushed the date back and then turned around and bumped it back up to the date it was previously. So strange!

I ordered a 302A Limited on 11/2. Been in production since 3/23. My ETA according to my dealership and marketing is 8/2-8/8. This is getting ridiculous. The 23s are gonna be taking orders by then I imagine. My sales rep said the 23s are gonna take just as long.

Remember, production will may be scheduled, but unless Ford's suppliers are back on a normal schedule, you'll still end up with delays due to supply chain issues. It's not just Ford, every automotive manufacturer is having these same issues. I live not too far from the North American BMW plant, and have heard of parking lots and fields near or on their test track filled with vehicles awaiting computer chips. Some chips do not affect driveability, in those cases, the vehicles may be shipped to a 3rd party holding facility until such time the chips are available from the suppliers, at which point, they will be installed, and the vehicles in question loaded on trucks, or rail cars for shipping to the dealers.

As far as Ford specific parts/chip delivery goes, your dealer, or Ford corporate customer service can only advise you what they have been. They do not control the supply chain, nor do they control the shipping of those sub assemblies and parts. Same goes for most of their indirect suppliers. Although, I also heard 4th hand how Ford has been flying parts/chips in from out of the country to try and play catch up, vs putting them in a container and having them stuck on a ship awaiting it's turn to be unloaded and then shipped by truck or rail to their assembly plants. Ford corporate is just as frustrated as we are, of this I am certain.

if anyone believes that 2023's will be produced faster than the 2022's, that's purely wishful thinking.
Production is supposed to start september for 2023's, unless some miraculous change happens these chip holds will likely plague them also. Maybe not the same chips, but I don't see any info that shows how ford or others will turn this around in 6-9 months, their current estimates state it won't get materially better until Q1 2023

I absolutely agree. The 2023's will be essentially the same vehicle, with maybe a few little enhancements. The chip issue will continue for at least 2 more years. From what I know, every 2022 order that has been accepted in the order system will be ultimately scheduled and built, and that will happen before Job#1 2023.
