So my dealer just had another 304a max show up. Looks to be built about a month AFTER mine, but mine is still awaiting shipment..
This really doesn't make any sense. Ford just keeps giving me new ETAs. Dealer just says it's been released for shipment.

This morning I got an email that it was shipped. Maybe Ford is reading these forums.

Looks awesome. What did you do to give it that matte look? Or was it just the lighting?

scheduling is more often a false positive. seems more often than not orders go "in production" and if more than a day, you very likely are in "chip hold". some holds are weeks, some months. mine was 8/24 to 9/7 and now playing new game of "awaiting shipment". I say mine, but its not really since I abandoned the order and went out found one 3 hours away that was mostly the same as order and bought it
nice. a stealth that's actually blacked out. did you switch out the chrome along windows or the dealer or a body shop? you swap out the chrome inside around drive mode knobs on console too?

Looks like the Batmobile
Did you change the paint?? I pick mine up in an hour, so excited!
Based on the user's other post here the truck is STEK DYNOmatt paint protection film and ceramic coating. It looks amazing, wish I had an extra $5-10k laying around to do mine once it arrives!
had it covered in paint protection film. Ordered it in Black Onyx and the film is a matte finish so it carries over the underlaying color. Same shop had a number of cars getting wrapped: grey NSX, blue Model X, grey Taycan, white model S. They make the same film in a gloss finish if you prefer shiny vs matte, can do everything from full car to just high impact points like front end, mirrors, etc.
This is actually our second vehicle to get done by them, the first was my wife's BMW.

The BMW already got the nickname batmobile, need something for this guy though. BatTank? Nightshade? Onyx, Venom, Black Hawk since it is a Raptor in disguise? Or Thunder since it is the SUV version of a Lightning?

Our family hauler is here, finally. 4X2 Limited Max, Silver/Sandstone, 302A, HD Trailer Tow, CCD with Road Preview, and Advanced Cargo Manager, 7400 GVWR, 1717 payload (already added to the spreadsheet).
Ordered and confirmed on 2/18/22.
4/28 - Email saying scheduled for production the week of 6/20, VIN assigned ending in 2795.
6/22 - Tracker showed in production. Window sticker available. In addition to the Auto Stop-Start Removal that we selected (-$50), we lost the Hands Free Liftgate (and "saved" $55).
7/1 - Email that it did not go into production due to supply chain delays and will keep us updated.
7/21 - Logged in to tracker it was marked built. Window sticker no longer available for some reason.
7/22 - Email that it is built. A few hours later a second email arrived saying it is shipped. Estimated arrival at dealer given as 8/5 to 8/11.
7/25 - Window sticker again available and nothing appeared to have changed.
Didn't arrive within the window provided.
8/16 - Email updating estimated arrival to 8/24 to 8/30.
Again didn't arrive within the window provided.
9/6 - Email updating estimated arrival to 9/7 to 9/13.
9/7 - Tracker says arrived at dealer and undergoing final preparation.
9/16 - Could have had it as early as 9/10, probably, but due a few hiccups and needing to overnight paperwork here and then back, yesterday was the first day delivery was possible, and the driver said he was full and it would be "late." I figured I didn't need to make the guy driving it angry, and so this morning it was. 5 miles on the ODO at the dealer, 168.5 showing at delivery, and 4 hours showing, along with a few lovebugs that need to be cleaned off. Only came with one key, but confirmed dealer has the other and they are going to get it to us. Added Smartliners for the seating areas and have the Ford folding mat for the back. Got to order some car seat accessories and kick mats next. Fun stuff. Have driven it about 15 miles so far, but we're happy with it and glad to have it. Some of the body panel gaps could be better, and the running board (both sides operating together) issue noted by others are the only complaints so far.

I have posted a couple of other comments about my adventure trying to order a 2023 with the x-plan. Emailed the dealer 2 days ago telling them I wanted to see the Ford order confirmation, and got no response. So I found another dealer that would honor the x-plan pricing, stopped by and got the order in this afternoon. Before I got back home I had the email confirmation from Ford. It includes a line about "your order is one of the early orders for 2023 Expedition Limited" along with a warning about quality assurance process and delays... Good news/bad news combination there. But finally it seems there is some progress. So next week I go to fight with the other dealer for my deposit back.
Limited with SPP, HD trailer tow, Suspension road preview, ControlTrac electronic locking diff, 15" Sync 4A in Infinite Blue (My wife forbid me from buying another black car... Funny story.)

For those that are interested, some years ago we had a Ford Flex, a BMW X1, and a BMW 540i. All in black. We were going somewere one night, and my wife asked "which car are we taking?" I told her "The black one", to which she replied "OK" and she went outside. I got out about 3-4 minutes later to find her looking back and forth between the fleet trying to decide which black car to get into. So I can no longer order a black car. Damn, this SPP would look so good in black.... But now our other car is blue, so guess what is coming down the road.... I will not be beaten.
