Fordpass app finally showed movement today with the truck back at the Rouge Complex. It sat for so long it went into deep sleep mode. Little pin shows it in the "DTP Final Assembly" section under Google maps. However now when I plug VIN into the factory Ford order tracking website it shows: "We're sorry. We are unable to process this Order. Please enter a valid Ford Order/VIN." Has it happened before? No. Do I care? No.
I just find it strangely amusing, yet creepy that what... just a touch above 100 years ago, Henry Ford built the moving assembly line. Now here we are able to track our $80k pickups wherever they are in the world, with a cell phone. In this case, the nostalgic connection between not having my truck, and watching it move around on an app being built, features going in and out. Truly fascinating.
We'll see what happens!
