Any Microchip Updates?

Has anyone with a D6Z credit been able to eventually get the microchip?

Global semiconductor chip shortages are likely to continue easing during the second half of 2022 as demand-supply gaps decrease across most components, according to Counterpoint Research’s latest smartphone Component Tracker Report.

These shortages have plagued many industries for the past two years and vendors across the supply chain have spent much effort dealing with uncertainties. Since late 2021, demand-supply gaps have been shrinking, signaling an approaching end to supply tightness across the broader ecosystem.

My 2021 E 450 just arrived at port in Maryland, they are installing the chip before trucking the car to my dealership.

Which module is this one for? My car was delivered without the dashcam and the Hermes module and the dashcam letter was sent out the end of February and mine is getting installed today. The dealer I bought from sent me a text about the Hermes module becoming available the 29th of April and letters being sent out by the middle of May.

Ford earnings announcement mentioned chips remain an issue. Toyota also has recently publicly referred to chips availability as a challenge.

On the other hand and anecdotally, the local MB dealer seems to have more cars on the lot for sale these days. Most are new, some are preowned.

I was going to order a 2022 but production wouldn't start until September. Dealer found me new 2021 that just came out of production at the beginning of April.
