Waiting room

[Mister E]

It's a double-edged sword.

The low humidity in the desert will help with corrosion, but the heat and UV can put a beating on the interior plastics. And desert-stored aircraft apparently attract reptilian critters.
One thing they do when they store aircraft is to block off the windows and use silica gel packs in the cabin areas to absorb trapped moisture.

Sitting on a track in Kentucky this time of year can be risky with hail storms, stray musket balls, and other local Hazards (pun).

It's 100 to 106 degrees in Hermosillo this week and down into the mid to high 90s next week.
You can look up the factory on Google maps...."Ford Hermosillo Stamping & Assembly Plant". Go to Satellite view and you can see they have a pretty big parking lot on the southeast corner of the factory grounds where they stage the cars to be loaded on to the train cars. The lot looks like it can park up to 4,000 cars.

That is a lot is probably loaded with tons of sand, lizards, and scorpions.

So get this, after my post yesterday I remembered back in March I test drove a BB at a different dealer than I've been working with, and I told them how I'd have one equipped and the saleman told they'd order it for me but if I didn't take it they'd just put it in inventory with no obligation from me. I never did hear back from them and ended up forgetting about it so I had assumed they didn't order it. But last night I decided to email the salesman and ask him about it and lo and behold they did order it and he gave me all the info on it.

It looks like it was just built or in the process and will probably be delivered next month. This is exciting! I'm fairly young so this is only my 2nd new vehicle and the first one I've ordered to my specifications, so I'm really looking forward to this.

Personally...I'd swap the auto start stop chip for the airbag chip...

I would pay more money to get rid of auto start stop...

That one is waiting for the RCM module just like a few others.

 

[Terri Romano]

Window sticker date changed by 1 day today and mine is built awaiting The RCM module also.

 

[KCBroncoSport]

I still have nothing at all in ETIS, unless I'm doing it wrong. It just shows the car and a message that says No Outstanding Service Actions. I might be doing it wrong though, because it shows the same thing for my F-150 which I've had a year.

I wonder if since that’s all we are waiting on and we do have an ETA showing if that means they believe they will be able to complete them and ship them….??

I'm really happy with this spec. It seems like a good bang for buck, and I absolutely love the Area 51 color.

I'm surprised it's being built with the moonroof after the recent change to no moonroof with BB package, unless thats only for orders being placed now? Personally I would've rather the saved the $700 or so to not get the moonroof (indifferent to having one) but I certainly won't complain if I do end up with it.

I've experienced the same situation trying to see my order to this point waiting for it actually start being built, I have been able to access vehicles I found on the Dealer sites

My BL+BL order was accepted on 2/22 and I haven’t even received a 10/31 delivery date. Where does that leave me? Oh, I know. Up a creek without a paddle.

I do find that interesting, I received my confirmation of order on 3/5. Through the Ford Etis site that is missing a chip. I don't have an ETA. my order is a BL+BL+360+,CMS,+Tow

So you don't get something that looks like this?
If so, you need to select show pti information.
