Waiting room

[Petroph]

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…

Looks like Build Week of July 4th is proceeding as planned[…]

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?

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.

My rail car made it to just outside Toledo, OH (Walbridge, to be exact) this morning. Somehow moving east and yet still north despite me being about as far south as you can get. ?

It doesn’t have to make sense, it just has to make it there!

Looking for input from those who ordered in 21 and didn't have a build date prior to the cutoff which switched builds over to 22s. Did this actually happen to anyone, or did Ford manage to schedule all the 21s accordingly without having to convert anyone to a 22?

I'm aware 23 builds won't start until November, but according to this sheet, this upcoming week might be the last scheduling of 22 builds.
