Spreadsheets still on track with this news from @hybrid2bev:

Approval to proceed with MP2 was granted yesterday, two days ahead of schedule per Jim Farley. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the launch team.

*Doesn't mean production will start now, just the approval checkpoint was granted.
However, build date from @Marcel suggests switch to EU/UK models may come sooner than I thought:
Had a short peek in the Ford system at the dealer, fabrication date dec 7, delivery feb 27, even saw a chassis number???????

If the earlier EU build is true, that kills my hope for a mid winter delivery for my Premium 34,000 reservation number.

An earlier shift to a 60/40 split in production is good news for the EU/UK bad news for you and I. I’m a bit behind you.

I only asked as someone in the US said that his dealer gave him the same build date for a FE.

Yes, approval was given to go ahead. with MP2. They will be working this weekend also to ready.
Please, spare the whip. I don't want unhappy employees like Tesla had in Fremont.

So, my dealer just called me. The first of his demo units just arrived today and he said I can come see it on Saturday or Sunday. No test drives allowed though. :(

Photos to come shortly....

He also said he has a Bronco as well. My guess is the Mach E may not be a FCTP car but one of the pre-production units that are out there already. If it was an FCTP car, then I should be allowed to drive it.....I think.
I will try and get more info shortly....

Right?!
I asked him what trim it was and he didnt even know. He said he was just so excited and started snapping a bunch of pics. Then the driver said he had to take off and the car would be back for the weekend. I dont blame him. I would hit the road too..... :)
I think the car is making rounds with all the dealers in town today and tomorrow. Then will be available for public viewing this weekend.

Just a guess at this point. He is sending me pics to my phone now....

Better get word out to the whole Phoenix crew. I'd suggest a dedicated thread.
