GT Build Week of Aug. 23rd Group

[Angelina]

No value except that satisfaction of pushing a button that does nothing. ?
It does seem to indicate the car is alive but with this chip shortage not sure it aligns with completed like it use to.

Actually you can create your drivers profile and it will be all ready when your vehicle arrives.

Correct, I was referring to pushing the button now versus when the car is delivered.

No change here, but on the Ford Pass App I get the Acitivate Button and an actual picture of the vehicle.

Ok so I hit the activate button but it says someone needs to turn on the car and hit accept.

Make sure that who ever from this build weeks gets the shipped check mark, they let us know so we can be jealous. Mine has not shipped yet and still does not say completed.

Sounds like (reading other threads) there are cars that were built a week or so before ours but still have not shipped probably waiting on chips. Also sounds like cars are not getting chips and shipped with FIFO so one our cars could get shipped before older cars.

Our 4X that was Sched. for 8/23 build week now says 8/30/2021 on the Production date but it’s not showing built as of yet. The Delivery date shows N/A on the timeline but below that under Vehicle Details it now says dealer delivery 10/17/21. Yeah, right ?

My car has been in production since 8/26 which leads me to the inescapable conclusion that it is being hand-built by Ford's finest craftsmen and artisans.

Or possibly by the hundreds of monkeys who are still trying to type Shakespeare’s works.

My ETA just changed from 10-25-21 to 10-31-21. ?

 

[Plutoman15]

Well, now today my ETA changed from 10-31-21 to 10-18-21.
probably all meaningless.

Just got a build date for the week of Oct. 25th. May actually see it this year!

Now I need to focus on getting a charger set up. We were planning on not getting our Mach-e until early 2022 and I had hoped to set up for my Lightning (just do it all once), but given those details haven't been revealed yet we may have to do this in 2 stages.

I know this thread is for build week of 8/23, but just for your reference I'll share my info on my GT order with a build week of 8/16. The production date came in at 2021-08-19 with an etaEndDate 2021-10-05. A few days later I saw the etaStartDate populate with 2021-09-29 which I now understand means the car is estimated to arrive at the dealer between those two dates. It could have populated when the etaEndDate did and I just missed it - not sure on that.

I guess the most useful information I can share is that none of this has changed from the original values so far, so if you're a week behind me then you probably won't see any good news for at least a week, but who knows? The whole process does seem annoyingly random.

I have VIN and an ETA of 10/7

Still says in production though.

A little more info - mine also still shows as in production. I also just loaded up the Fordpass app and was able to add my vehicle - and I have the "Activate Vehicle" button, but still not sure what that really means after reading through this thread and others.

My ETA was bumped up a week from 10/20 to 10/13.
