Received the Built email today and it's updated on my Ford owner's page (but not the shop.ford tracking site). Supposedly a 4/25–5/1 delivery, as opposed to the delayed 5/25–5/31 estimate. Fingers crossed for the SF Bay area.

From "shipped" to arrival at my Bay Area dealer was 36 days. Longest part was the KC-Bay Area stretch. Assuming it ships within a couple of days that seems like an accurate window... although I imagine there are wildcard factors that can slow it down or speed it up.

How long did it take from built to shipped?

I learned a few things today that I thought I'd pass on to you all.

My Mach-E was built 1/4/22 and arrived Kansas 1/18. It sat there until about 2 weeks ago, when it was shipped and arrived in Portland, OR (final destination is Newberg, OR). It arrived 3/4 and I've been watching daily while shipment after shipment of other vehicles gets delivered. Yesterday it was changed to "On Hold" and the dealer was as flummoxed as I....so this morning I called United Road myself and luckily got a super nice guy who gave me info.....although he said they normally don't speak directly to the end customer.
He said "On Hold" in their system means that there is a problem with the vehicle that prevents them from delivering it. It can be a number of things so he looked mine up and found that they could not get it started and, believe it or not, they don't have an EV charger at the yard so they have to wait for repair to come (they report it to Ford and Ford schedules repair) to get it charged. He said they have ZERO control over the repair process and he could give no detail on the ETA.
Meanwhile, I sold my car mid February and have been borrowing cars from friends and relatives ever since. Those favors are running out and I'm at wits end.
Mostly, I just hope this isn't a harbinger of problems to come with this car!!!!
Pray for me! LOL!!!!

They didn't have an EV charger at the yard?! Isn't there an EV charger in the car? Like maybe the frunk? The car is supposed to come with a charger. At least the car didn't fall off the truck or something like that.

It does not say shipped. Just Built with the delivery estimate, sadly. So I am not holding my breath at this point.

Nope. No ev charger in the yard and they won’t plug the one that it comes with in anywhere. He said they won’t take on the liability. If the car won’t start or move for any reason, they have to call someone else in. Crazy, huh?!???

Four days, then I believe 11 days to KC. Then after that it was like the car vanished in a black hole for 3+ weeks. Keep the faith.

Mine was shipped on Feb 14 to the bay area. It reached KC Argentine ramp on Feb 23 and no updates after that. The estimated dates changed twice from March 23-29 to April 15-21 and back to March 23-29 now. I hope it arrives by Match 23 ?

Much 23 seems about right based on my transit time and also some others on here. Be ready next week!

Just talked to my salesman, he was surprised to hear that the car is built in MEXICO.. OMG...
I told him how frustrated I was as car is marked built as of 3/2 but still says awaiting shipment. That it is waiting to ship for 2 weeks makes me nervous. Tomorrow he is going to either talk to the GM or give me his email.. I feel like I am going backwards. Great to hear that some folks in this group are getting their cars.

I called a dealership yesterday because it looked like they had a GTPE for sale. Nice lady told me it was ordered but not there yet. She told me " you know those things are built in China and then have to come over on a boat. Who knows when we will get it" ?‍

Hooray, the ford order tracking site has also updated today (3/17) with a Built date of yesterday 3/16. but no ETA (which is fine because I don't need more teasing in this process).

Well I just received the email today. My car is built and will be arriving between 4/22 and 4/28. I hope its true this time. Ordered Iconic Silver, Premium, ex rwd on 7/10/21.
