07/25/22 Build week chat

[GibUtes]

Here’s another batch number for your sheet, @Bigfeets . 007172 255/302.

Prem AWD in Space White. Ordered 1/8.

FYI, this is what Ford chat says regarding batch 7172…

“ It has been scheduled for Production to the day of July 26th 2022. There is an ETA for delivery of your vehicle to your selling dealership of August 26th - September 1st 2022.”

Obviously, these are estimated build and delivery dates. Your mileage will vary…

I really hope delivery is closer to the end of August instead of September. The registration sticker on the car I'm going to sell expires at the end of August lol.

Fun additional data point to throw more uncertainty into the mix, chat told me build day the 25th with ETA 9/7-9/14

Batch 7133

That’s annoying because I think a dealership would not take it on a trade in (for the same $) without it being registered.

Pretty sure window sticker is not something that can be requested. It's something that the system has generated or it has not. It's just a waiting game.

I have not received an e-mail - so I went online to https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/
Entered my VIN and 4 digit order number called "Customer Order Number" which I got from the from the dealer.

To my surprise there was an option to get my window sticker and it appears that my vehicle is build group 7190 243/330 -

Had a real sinking feeling when I looked at Bigfeets post 7/14 #35 - did not show build group 7190 in the July group and August listed a plant shutdown.

I was relieved to see Bigfeets post on Friday 7/22 #89 which did include build 7190.

Original order 9/15/2021 converted to 2022 on 11/03/2021 Premium AWD Extended Battery.

Aside from the https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/ is there other tracking info - during the build week and location when being shipped?

Well - I tried chat to see if I could get a build date (not just a build week) and here is the info I got:
====
John: Can you provide the build date of the mach-e - and the estimate delivery date - I see from the window sticker the build group is 7190 and 249/330
Wendy: I will be happy to provide order details using my system. Congratulations on your first steps to driving a Ford Mach-E John.
Wendy: It looks like your Ford 2022 Mach-E is in Production. When an order is "In Production," it is being manufactured at one of our factories.
No further details have been posted yet, it's pending updates John.
For general status updates, you do have our online tracking system available:
https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/
John: Also - do you know if the mach-es which are being built now have the hardware fix or just a software fix to the HBVJB "welding contactor"/22S41 recall issue issue
Wendy: Great question, if not done at the manufacturing facility the fix is done at the ordering Ford Dealership before being released to you John.
====

Others seem to have been more successful with chat on getting a build date and estimated delivery date range - Anyone in the build group 7190 been able to get that info.

I also asked about the fix on the recall issue and others were wondering about a hardware fix vs software "limp" mode to prevent the issue. You can see what the agent response is but I don't have a whole lot of confidence in this.

That looks about like what I got when I tried to get more information via Ford chat. I emailed my sales rep this morning to see if I could get more information. I haven't heard back yet.

How soon after the car is built will I know? I’m 37/301 in 7133. Which I’m guessing they started this morning. It’s exciting to think my car may have already been built.

The first thing you should see is BCE modules getting populated in this Ford Service site. It probably won't be real-time, but it will be the fastest. Next is the status change on the Vehicle Tracking site. Again, they might be slower (perhaps refreshed daily?). Then you should get an email from Ford. THEN, if yours are better than mine, you might have someone at the dealership contact you. They'd give you a delivery estimate and start the process of arranging financing, trade-in, etc. I doubt I'll ever get that call without me starting that conversation with my dealership.

Your vehicle VIN serial is among the 38 thousand 2022 MME produced from Cuautitlan (and is being built just after my order was scheduled and VIN assigned). The VIN serial on my Premium AWD ER red order, scheduled to be built 8 weeks from now, week of 9/19/22, is in the 50,000 range. this suggests that Ford will try to produce about 12,000 MME in those 8 weeks (including 2-week routine maintenance shutdown in August.) Here's hoping they can sustain that production rate.

Glad you finally got a schedule Bigfeets. Thanks for tracking batches and everything to make the slow wait seem less painful!
