Waiting room

[Petroph]

Looks like Build Week of July 4th is proceeding as planned. Been waiting anxiously for an email update to show in production. But upon order tracking, it was put into production and fully built in the same day! Just hoping it's got all its parts and they didnt skip out on QC. ?

Built so fast the email notifications were never even sent.

I'm pumped! Now the wait for delivery begins!

I got mine a couple of days after it arrived. My dealership received more deliveries that week than they were expecting. The salesman spent a couple of hours with us going over ours, plus time with the finance department. Sometimes it takes extra time for everyone to have their appointment time. I received it a week earlier than the estimated delivery date so that was great.

@thekingprawn is right, it is a fairly large dealership. The confirmation that the trucking company sent me showed they received 9 vehicles on Thursday--5 Mavericks and 4 Bronco Sports (my white OB, 1 blue BL and 2 blue BB in case you're interested!). Their service department is closed on Saturdays and the dealership is closed on Sundays so I'm sure it will take a while to inspect and process all of those vehicles. I appreciate WLK's perspective on that!

I would rather them have time to do a thorough inspection so I can have a better chance of avoiding some of the issues I've read about on this forum. There are some nightmare stories here! And my salesman is a really nice young man--I want to believe that he just wants to see this through with me. So another couple days won't kill me--I've waited 5 1/2 months (ordered on January 22), what's 3 more days! Now that I know it's out of the rail yard and hopefully in good hands, I feel a little more relaxed about it lol. And he assured me that the technician would be the only one to drive it--no test drives!

With that said, I still may go by today just to visit it

Wow, nice! And yours is loaded too. Pretty good turnaround (relative, of course)
This is interesting since a seemingly large chunk the 6/27 week vehicles haven’t been moved to “Built” yet. And can’t figure out if it’s just a tracker bug or something far worse (as in haven’t actually been released as built yet).

Not sure if color has anything to do with it. Not alot of people in 6/27 buid week mention they have Hot Pepper Red. ??‍

True, red is a faster color.

I spoke with Ford chat today to try and get my rail car number. My car shipped a week ago. The first told me she didn't have that info but that my car was in Illinois transferring rail cars? I'm in Ohio. The second person told me the rail car info hasn't been posted yet but again, it's in Illinois. I also tried to get confirmation on available incentives at the time of ordering and they said only the marketing team can help me with that but they are only Monday through Friday.

Wow! Yesterday the tracker showed my modules activated. Now waiting for shipped status.

I wonder if we are on the same train in Illinois? Mine departed Walsh junction Illinois at 10:01am. I'm waiting for mine in Virginia. Mine left the plant in Mexico on 6/30

Oh very likely I'd imagine because I got the email that mine had shipped on 6/30.

I sure hope they are protecting the vehicles well from all the rail dust for these generally long treks the trains take because you can end up with a clear coat full of rust colored metal specs if not. Obviously not noticeable or as noticeable on a dark colored car depending on the color, but they will be there regardless if they didn't plastic wrap all the essential panels for transit, especially the horizontal surfaces. Just a heads up that everyone should check their paint for smoothness and these specs at time of delivery. I'm hoping they are using more so the fully enclosed auto carriers but have seen it a lot on Ford vehicles in the past that even on my personal vehicles I've had to gently clay bar out of the clearcoat. The dealers will frequently miss it (or ignore it) if their dealer prep and detailing is fairly basic and superficial.

Ours needs a clay bar treatment for sure…easy to see on white…

Ah nice, wish I could say the same! I also have a July 4th build week, I was “In Production” July 6th, but as of today (July 9th) mine still isn’t built. But I do have modules so that’s…something I guess.

I know the manufacturing plant is being shut down for the next two weeks, and I’m assuming they don’t work Saturdays and Sundays. So, given that it’s still “in production” and today’s Saturday, I guess I might have to wait until July 25th to see any more movement

I had hoped they’d planned it so they didn’t have any cars half-finished before the break, but I guess not.

I have same build week as you and mine shows in production and has modules too. I called ford last week and they told me build day 8th and projected to my dealer august 7-13 so I am thinking they maybe finished the build but website just not updating fast?? Maybe they will still ship them all and just not build more in the next two weeks……hopefully!!

They do work on Saturday, Monday through Saturday to be exact.

Eric, any word on your build?

Eric, any word on your build?

I texted my salesperson and she was supposed to be working on an update. It would seem that I will have to text her again on Tuesday.
