Many good business sources quote

Here's your new 2022 MUSTANG MACH-E GT
In Production on 1/10/2022

So what's the reality of how long a mustang mach‐e GT should be "in prodution"?

Originally I was thinking a week, now it's been 4 weeks with no update.

Until it's done. It's done when it has all the chips in it. Could be 1 week, could be 3 months.

Excellent article on 2/4/22 in MotorTrend:

Sounds as if Ford is attacking the key issues.

Anyone gotten their car yet? I got an email from Ford on 1/31 saying my car had been shipped and was on its way to the dealership and eta was 1/31 -2/4

The eta was updated to 2/6 and then 2/8 as of yesterday. Palsapp shows nothing, saying KC pending and the vin tracker gives me a Ford Model T instead... I was reading the 1/3 build date thread and some people there are getting may ETAs now, guess I lucked out?

No updates for me in almost two weeks.
Palsapp shows "pending";
The Ford Tracker ( https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking ) shows built, shipped, estimated delivery of 5 March. It's shown that since 26 Jan.

Uhhh.... I just got an update on Palsapp!
Delivered to the Argentine Ramp on 6 February.

I don't really know what this means other than there's some kind of progress...Maybe?

Very happy for you friend!

Very happy for you friend!

I appreciate that!
I am sorry that yours is on a chip hold. :/

Appreciate it. I'm always checking hoping it'll move even a month.

Eight other Mustangs were delivered to the Argentine Ramp on the same trip number. Most are Premium AWDs, extended range, and all are headed west (CA, NV AZ, and WA). Several different batch numbers, etc. None of this surprises me, but it's interesting nevertheless.

And, curiosity gets the better of me and I find that there were at least two more railcars loaded with Mustangs recorded as delivered to the Argentine Ramp today. I don't really want to dig too much more.

[updated]
Three more railcars. So far, 36 Mustang Mach-Es have been recorded as having arrived at the Argentine Ramp today.

[updated a few minutes later...]
And now the Muncie Ramp is being populated with more Mustang Mach-Es.

How are you able to figure all that out?

How are you able to figure all that out?

Palsapp gives you two new numbers when you plug in your VIN. One is Freight Bill and the other is Trip Number.

I was curious about trip number today for some reason...the search box does not tell you this, but it allows you to search on VIN, Freight Bill, or Trip Number.

When I plugged in my Trip Number, I got a list of nine Mustang Mach-Es, their freight bills, and their VINs. I searched for the window stickers on those VINs and...

Then I got curious about Trip Numbers and plugged in the value one higher than mine. That had nine more Mustang Mach-Es (you can tell by the VIN)...

But, I was wrong about the number 36. One of the Trip Numbers had fewer than 9 vehicles on it, so it wasn't a full 36 that were reported delivered to the Argentine Ramp today.

And I just started plugging in higher Trip Numbers than I had tested earlier. After one Mustang ME was delivered to the Muncie Ramp, a bunch of F-150s were delivered to various ramps or are scheduled to be delivered, and...more Mustang MEs have been delivered to the Argentine Ramp.
Looks like around 40+ have been delivered. I hope that means good news for a bunch more people!

I just wish I knew how to track after this. My dealer hasn't been responsive to my questions, so I it's going into the black hole from here on.

Unfortunately, my dealer too has been unresponsive. Granted I didn't ship yet. I'm going to give the positive intent of he's always busy; as we are one of the only dealers in all of DFW not charging ADM.
