Waiting: (v.) pause, interval, delay (It *was* the spray-in bedliner)

See my signature for the details, but briefly: Maverick hybrid order confirmed 6/14; Production began 12/15, modules populated 1/4/22. Still no "Built" email. Like many here, I've been wondering what was holding things up. My dealer gave me the Vehicle Visibility Report a couple times, and Tim Bartz confirmed from it that the vehicle had been built. Yet, then it was all crickets.

Well, today we got an updated VVR and it shows that our hybrid was THEN sent out to an external body shop for two days and returned. So that would be for the spray-in bedliner. The truck should be shipped soon, right? What happens on "Trim Line" ~ is that primarily for extras like stripes or a bedcover? If so, the truck doesn't need that. Is there anything else that could possibly be left to be done before shipping?

My dealer confirmed that it takes 3-4 weeks for delivery. So I guess the February 7th-13th range is bogus. We wait, we wonder.
While the definition of Waiting is pause, interval, delay, it feels a lot more like delay with this process. It's easier to be patient when you know how long you will have to pace yourself. Take care, all.

PS: We sold our 2013 Honda Fit today to a great family a few streets over.

Abd where did you find the 'Status History' ?

By "Status History" I assume you mean the Vehicle Visibility Report. You can only get that by asking your dealer to send you a copy of it, because only your dealer can see it. Ford Customer Service cannot even see it. As of today, it's been two full weeks since anything new happened with our hybrid and it's just sitting at the plant in Hermosillo. No one knows exactly why. We wait, we wonder. But, at least our sales guy is now going to be sending the VVR to us each Monday morning.
