9/26/22 Build Week Chat

[minders]

There was someone in the previous build week that this happened to. They showed no modules, then, all of a sudden they were built, with no modules showing still.

That was @SV8T. I'm in the previous build week with them and mine took FOREVER to show the modules. Was a while after it showed built, but they finally showed up. I went into production on 9/22 (a day early) and didn't have modules until late at night on the 24th after it was already marked as built. Don't lose hope, just keep checking.

Question
Does anyone know if the Cuautitlán plant runs 24hr shifts? Just wondering.

No definitive answer, but 6-7 months ago a Forum user who said they were former Ford assembly plant worker said typical functions were 2 shifts, 6 days/week. At any rate, Cuautitlan has been doing an average of 1855 units per week (12985/7) since the August break, 7 weeks. (If it's 6 days per week, that's an average of about 309 MME units/day. It looks like they'll finish the 2022MY run with a total of middle 60,000 MME units produced, close to 2021 total. I don't think they have the "2nd line" functioning, but parts shortages still are a plague. Ford doesn't seem to disclose their monthly production goals, but it's possible to see what their scheduling thanks to forum users who report their batch numbers and the batch totals. Ford does produce monthly totals produced and sold but only after the end of the month (Sept numbers announced any day now..)

It's like a progress report for how the car is getting manufactured. but in reality its just obsessiveness due to the extraordinarily long wait between order and build.

Congrats - That is significantly more enjoyable than waiting with bated breath for a website to load a bunch of 0's, and 1's.

So to obsess a bit more.

My tear tag is now populated on the Mods page and the car shows on my dashboard but not FordPass. Tracker shows "in production" My guess is Built status by Saturday morning.

what is? and what does? the tear tag do?

 

[Gopher Adventure]

Checked the tracker and my car shipped this afternoon. No emails received with an ETA or shipping information. Did most of you receive an email regarding shipping, or did you find that info throught the tracker?

It is the emissions cert after the mods, means car is finished and awaiting final sign off before going to shipping. So says the Google.
