For everyone waiting on chips

I’ll keep you guys posted

I called the 800 number and was told my blend date 10/03 was still waiting on microchip hold and estimated delivery was “November 25th to 30th oh wait that’s December 25-30”.

Oh, trust me you might have a minute or 2 then someone will be on you asking what your doing in the lot! Just in that lot alone figure 480 trucks x $80K each = $38,400,000

We need VIN numbers for the trucks in the lot.

Walk around with a clipboard, act like you know what you're doing and you'll be good.

If you look like you know what you are doing, they will definitely know you don't belong with the Raptor delivery process..

I would definitely send some $$$ for beers and burgers if you found my truck!

So it looks like my day is finally here. I am effing pumped! 7/30 build date and its finally arrived and ready for pickup. I will post pics on an appropriate thread after pick up.

You all will LOVE this though. So my dealer, who has been awesome throughout my 5 month wait - sent me the pics of the truck unloading, etc..I saw them, loved it all. A few hours later, I looked again and noticed something was "off". Turns out the truck was delivered missing the graphics package Raptor sticker on the right side rear quarter panel.

LOL. I just laughed so hard with my sales guy and we both agreed it could be much, much worse. Like, hey - it has 4 wheels! He obviously has already taken action and has the missing decal on the way to the dealership and it will be applied and on the truck before I get there for pickup.

How the EFFF does that get past QC? Its the most gigantic part of the decal pack - full stop!

Anyway, can't make this **** up!

Also, convoy truck mentioned they arent even picking up at DTP, Ford is driving the trucks to the logistics/shipping lots where they are then loaded on convoys for delivery. Probably why my brand new '21 has 31 miles on the odometer!

Anyway, more to come!

So if Raptor sales were 7800 or so in 2010, 13000 in 2013-2014, 30,000 in 2019, what do you think sales will be in 2022? 40-50000? Yet Ford F-150 sales from my understanding are a pretty flat number of around 900,000 a year. Does it seem insane that Raptors could be more than 5% of all F-150 sales? Seems crazy to me....Profitability yes I could see that number being a lot higher.

Hopefully this means parts are going on trucks though…

Not gonna lie, this is a bit unsettling given there are like a million other much less obvious things that could be missed during the assembly process.
