Thanks. I've been collecting this sort of thing for weeks as I explored where MME units came from and how they got delivered. I guess I'll post them somewhere for others looking to while away the days while waiting for their MME.
There was another video, entirely in Español, with a tour of all the department heads discussing what they do and a ton of footage, but I can't find it now. Sigh.

I know the VIN better than my wife’s birthday!!!
Just as burglars watch Facebook for vacation photos to know it's a good time to go rob a home, this could be a good thread for a clever rascal to find neglected wives to woo... I suspect this build group has a number of underappreciated spouses at this point.

Perhaps we might all take a moment to stop clicking refresh every 15 minutes and load the dishwasher, take out the trash, and do our laundry? Maybe our cars will actually ship if we atone for our misplaced lust (envy, greed?)

Another Thursday, another new window sticker, unchanged from prior editions except for the "edition date" at the bottom which now reads 01/27/2022.

I wonder what older consumer electronics or late model junkyard cars I can gut, that would allow Maria and Jose to populate the empty sockets of my Mustang.
Sadly, the chips you need are only in the cybertruck and the $25k Tesla.

And now my estimated delivery date just updated to May 27th. WTF! I could buy the Volvo Recharge today, no ADM but the range sucks.

I have a theory about the cause for the sudden and widespread three month additional delay in deliveries. Ford has caved to their dealers bitching and moaning about lack of stock (for which the dealers earn significantly higher profits). This out of the blue cliff drop of estimated delivery dates is to encourage us to cancel our orders. Which will provide dealers with more stock. Therefore it's possible that the new delivery dates are not anymore real than the old dates, and the reality is somewhere in between. In any event, I'm looking at Kia/Hyundai.

Email today from dealer says my vehicle is on the way and should be available here in California around February 7. Yet palsapp still shows it as TBD and ford.com still shows as in production. So I suppose I will have the new MME sometime between early February and next hockey season.
Expected delivery updated! To May 30. Yep, apparent almost 3 month slip if web site correct and dealer incorrect. Not sure what to think.

Don’t assume it’s all men here. I’m a wife and able to take care of the kids including a 7 mo old, work full time, keep up the house, dinner, etc while fully stalking this board and Ford. It’s all about multi-tasking. ? And just FYI- it’s not just the board. It’s also football, bourbon, etc for the men. My husband ordered a bronco and instead of waiting for his like I’m waiting for mine (even though I’m obsessed) he found one in Detriot. I think one of the first MY22 off the line that a customer rejected so he had it shipped here. I guess that’s one way to do it ??‍♀

Get ready for dead LVB What is ford doing as far as scheduling for MY22. I hope that all the subsequent orders are delayed as well...

Mine moved from 1/30 to 2/23. Ford needs to understand that providing info, even if it sucks, is better than none. I’m thinking one of the previous posters may be right that Ford is doing something out of the norm which is why they are silent. Just like last year when a bunch of US production was switched and sent to Europe, pushing US orders way out

Today is the first time the palsapp would load anything when I entered the VIN. But it shows 'Origin' as Louisville, which seems like it should be 'Destination', since that is where I live. And shows 'Destination Name' as null, which sounds... not good(?). Also 'Status' is Pending. At least there is something showing up, which is different. Last week the guy at the dealership said my MME was in Laredo, so unless we now have high speed rail service from Laredo to KC, followed by super expedited trucking, it seems unlikely that it got all the way to Louisville in a week. Can anyone help me understand this palsapp info.

I'm not a know-it-all (none of us are when it comes to deciphering Ford's delivery system) but most cars ride the train to Ford's KC ramp and get inspected by Ford before they're loaded on another train going either East or West. When it fills out, Palsapp is reporting when a car has arrived in KC, has passed Ford inspection, and has departed on the next train. Your car seems to be going directly to Louisville, then might go directly on a truck to your dealer. Your Palsapp will load with another Louisville location.

Ford order tracking website finally shows a checkmark for "Built" and new status as "Shipped", but the estimated delivery date changed from 02/18/2022 to 05/19/2022. No way it takes 4 months to be delivered lol
