Someone mentioned having a build date of 10/29/20 (posted on 10/28/20 mentioned a build date of "tomorrow"). I inquired and they replied:

"
I'm an employee (non-executive), located in SE Michigan, and got the build date from our internal ordering system.

(All of the orders are scheduled, and I'm not getting special treatment other than the ability to look at my build date and window sticker.)

"
They also provided this window sticker with some info redacted for privacy:

Noticed that as well. My dealer seemed confident in rail shipping as well, but based that off the other cars he used to get from that plant. Believe he said for him, they were railed to Winston-Salem then trucked up to VA.

Darn got my hopes up LOL (I tried the window sticker url's after reading this--still nope can't get it).

I wonder if they aren't available because the EPA ratings aren't available yet.

That would be my guess, or just that Ford hasn't connected up everything (we've seen that many Ford systems don't seem to be "in sync" currently). I'm guessing as a Ford employee, they have access to internal systems we certainly don't.

You may want to tell him he missed blacking out the VIN in one spot. A00 in the blue portion on the left.

And I would say a build date of 10/29 is indeed the front of the line. Not complaining, but that is indeed priority treatment for employees.

The person who supplied the window sticker mentioned they're usually only available a few weeks before scheduled build date, so those of us here may not see them start being available until mid-November.

Interesting - for the heck of it I put in my Fusion's VIN and I got the error PDF. I wonder if there's a data expiration issue on the source database - wouldn't be unreasonable at all.
So I tried two 2014 VINs and got the same error.

I then went to ford.com searched my local dealership's inventory for a vehicle, found a VIN and tried that. It worked.

Yeah must be some cutoff.
