1/17/22 Build Week Chat

[jimitoast]

We seem to have multiple threads on the same topic. Here's hoping that we can consolidate (hopefully nobody invested in who "came first"). Posting to this one since it has a newer response even though it doesn't use the same title format as prior build week threads. FWIW, I just checked my status using the link from the Ford email notifying me of my production week and I now have an estimated delivery of 3/1/22. My batch/sequence (or whatever the heck this means) is 3713 (206 of 300).

<EDIT> I am GTPE loaded (bluecruise) and I am in San Antonio (maybe a best case for lead time).

Checked today on the module website.... I got about a billion modules loaded now. Was empty late last week.

I'm getting excited. I guess I have to figure out how to track it by rail and truck next.

Estimated delivery date still shows TBD on Ford's website.

Thats good to hear since I have "batch" 3769 133/606 so its getting closer! I just hope they are sequential.
Have you checked to see if any modules have populated yet? thats a good indicator that your car is being built.

Thanks for the reminder to check this again. I checked over the weekend and drew a blank. Now there's a huge list of stuff under the "BCE modules" section (nothing under PCM modules). Hopefully that's a confirmation of progress! I'll take whatever I can get at this point LOL.

Batch 3741, 175/300 with a fully loaded GTPE here… BCE modules updated. No delivery estimate yet.

edit - “in production” as of 1/24 with estimated delivery date of 3/2. Dealership located in Kansas City.

Another loaded up GTPE going to KC. Got BCE modules loaded yesterday. No PCM modules yet. My estimated delivery has been update today thought. 3/1/22.

Guess I better get started on my electrical panel and charger install.

Going to add a 100amp sub panel in my garage. more than likely go 20+ slot for future expansion and the potential of adding a second EV charger. Already need the sub panel for the build out of my wood shop.

Because of the accessibility of the new sub panel I think I'm going to do hardwire a larger than 40 amp charger

What are you guys going with on chargers?

Haven't done much research yet but was thinking the Wallbox 48, Juice Box 48, or chargepoint flex

Don't see much in the way of 60 amp chargers.....

My plan will probably be the odd-ball in the bunch. I had an existing 30A outlet (Nema 14-30) that I ran for my electric brewery so i bought an adapter to convert from 14-30 to 14-50 and i will use a chargepoint flex set to limit to 24A (<=80% total 30A capacity per standard). I had a new 100A circuit quoted by two different companies and both were over $5K, which is not happening in this lifetime. Too much wire to reach from my main service panel to my garage. I don't drive much so 24A is plenty for me.

Problem is: I can't brew and charge my car at the same time. That decision is easy (brew/walk... er... stumble).

Sounds like a plan. I'm going to do all the wiring myself and it's just a couple of feet to get from my main panel to my garage, though it's an awkward couple of feet that's going to require quite a bit of drywall patching. Panel is in finished basement and not on same wall as garage.... But close. I would imagine it would be several thousand dollars to hire an electrician to do it for me.

I HAVE MODULES! My Blue Meanie is alive! I just checked and true to form, a week later than expected the modules are showing up on the Motorcraft tracker "As Built" site.
Now if only the Shop.ford site would update with an ETA it would make a really crappy day so much better!

Well its going to be a good day, after 34 weeks of waiting I now have a delivery date estimated as 3/8/22 now just six more weeks as long as there's no delays. (and we know how that goes?)

WOW! I have the same batch and lower cycle number with an ETA of 3/8, just doesn't feel right but then again it is Fords super secret delivery system and I am on the East coast.
Sure hope it goes well for you and it arrives as scheduled.

Modules populated last night as well as a 2/22/22 delivery date!
Batch 3769, 276/606. GTPE Rapid Red.

My salesperson just called and I have an estimated delivery date of March 4-10, barring any issues. My car is iced blue metallic with light space grey interior. Thanks to this forum I have been watching for the modules to populate and they were the same for the last couple of days. Since we ordered from the dealer I can only see that my car is in production. I sent a text to my salesperson today to see if he could see any more and he called. The car is built We are lucky to get these cars as things are difficult with the chips. I originally ordered on April 29, 21 and we thought it would take 6+ months. Well it will be 10 months if we receive the car as estimated. I have learned a great deal from this forum and would like to thank everyone that took so much time to help us learn about the car and the various issues that have plagued them. We live in South West Florida and I have only seen 2 mache's on the road. I can't wait. Thank you again for all the encouragement.

How do you get batch numbers and what do I do with them?
