I've never seen a GREEN window sticker before. Every Ford window sticker I've ever seen has been blue. Also, rather than my name on it, it just says "Special Order"? And I see two different dates on it - 01 05 21 just below Special Order, then at the bottom is 01/06/2021. I assume the date at the bottom is the date the window sticker is generated. Any idea what the date below Special Order (the 01 05 21 date) is?

Huh, I want a green one! Mine is still blue- generated in 2020, but never had the name on it, just Special Order. I think your 1/25/21 is the invoice date.

1/5/21 is the date your order was invoiced/sent to plant. that won't change.

1/6/21 will change as it's like a server timestamp for when the PDFs get regenerated.

The date at the very bottom corresponded to major stage changes on my sticker:

Sent To Plant
Produced
Released/Awaiting Shipment
Shipped/In Transit

Yeah not for me - seems to be updated almost weekly, regardless of state of car.

Green means it's a Retail order and has priority over Stock (blue stickers) in case of a shipping disruption.

Hmmm, mine clearly shows retail:

groupOrderType":"Retail (222R) (OBC8S)

But it's been blue all along.

Green stickers are used for retail orders - a fairly recent (2017ish?) change to enable quick and easy identification of vehicles that should get priority handling. I don't believe any green stickers are generated prior to OKTB even for retail orders. Retail orders where the sticker is generated after the vehicle has OKTB should be green (so all customer orders moving forward), but those before will be blue regardless of FCTP, management lease, retail customer, fleet, etc.

Yep. The early ones were printed in blue. Not sure why. That surprised me.

My guess is that the during launch they want the launch team in charge of all prioritization decisions, as there may be multiple inspections, etc. needed on a particular car that could delay it, and they don't want people just grabbing all green stickers and putting them on the nearest train, etc. Once launch is settled, the green stickers start to come out, when the plant starts running more "normally" and retail green stickers go to the front of the line.

Your knowledge of this stuff never disappoints. It's why I was totally convinced at one point you would be Delivery #1 for the forum when that question was asked weeks ne months ago...

Wow! Cool details! Thanks everyone. My original build week was 1/18/21. It changed a few weeks ago to 1/10/21. My 2018 Escape had a blue window sticker, but it was a stock unit, not a special order (I was in a hurry, so I asked them to look around and do a dealer swap to get the vehicle I wanted). The last vehicle I ordered was in 2014).
