You won't get much of anything until the Friday before your build week when the upcoming week is scheduled. I'm scheduled this week, have a sticker, and have received no emails from Ford since the production week was set.
I'm currently trying to divine what the sequence can tell me since Ford hasn't sent a build day email.
Thanks for the link! I was just using the official Ford one. Which yeah it can work intermittently to say the least lol.
That sucks with switch up of dates like that. I ordered 11/2 and didnāt hear a peep for a LONG time. Finally went into production 5/2 and just got the shipped email last Thursday I believe. Long wait but hopefully it will be worth it for our loaded Badlands! Hang in there just a little longer.
It would seem that the delays are the frustration, not the communication. I understand being frustrated by delays but at least they are keeping you updated about the changing schedule.
This is true since my initial build date was scheduled. Mind you, I didnāt get a build week until the last Friday in March after placing my order on November 12th, so I went 4.5 months with zero communication. Thatās why I said communication, as well. ?
I was at Disneyland that day though, so shouldn't complain that much right? ?Ha! I tried the same thing and never got anywhere. Regarding build day email, It is probably best not to expect one. My wife never got one, nor did any of the other recent orders around here.
I mostly want the prospective delivery date. There's only a couple of weeks between 12 hour shift work, and I'd much rather pick up my ride when I'm not dead tired.
Sorry to hear it wasnāt āin transitā as promised. Sounds like you couldāve or wouldāve made a different decision had the dealer been up front with the status of the order. These are pretty unprecedented times to be sure.
This sounds like your dealer pulled the wool over your spouse's eyes. Although some vehicles have waited for chips, that has not been a thing here for the last couple of months. I'm guessing that they ordered when your spouse was there, or just after. They may have thought that they could get one "soon" but that doesn't seem to be the norm for most. It seems that if anyone gets their order in under 4 months, that is unusually fast. In general it seems to be 4-6 months but some have been closer to 8. As stated above the dealer should be able to give you some information that will allow you to "track" the order. I put the word track in quotes because until you have a VIN there isn't much tracking to be done. It seems that your order is just in one of those lottery buckets being swirled around until it falls out.
The information and communication from factory to dealer is brutal! (Canada) I've seen units with Vin, build date and ETA change multiple times on 2 different Ford status reports. Having said that, at this point every dealer/salesperson should know they are not accurate in many cases. I was still a Ford dealer when I ordered my full size 2 door, it took almost a year, I gave up and bought Sport.
