4/11/22 build week chat

[NJ_MachE]

my car status shows in production on 4/13. batch 5272 132/330. no status update since then. Ordertrack shows status as ASN. I reached out to ford chat. Representative told me car was produced and scheduled for delivery between 5/7-5/13. I highly doubt that. I live in Florida. Does anyone know if car can deliver that fast or is it just wrong communication from ford chat representative?

If it had actually shipped once produced (within a few days of that date), the ETA would have been realistic. But Ford's system doesn't seem very smart about keeping ETA's up to date.

Our cars are in Ford purgatory, and their misinformation algorithm is working well. Status today is: Built but not shipped, presumably chipped, maybe in Truck upfitting, maybe already in KC or arriving tomorrow on a flatbed truck to your front door.

But seriously, I can now see my car in Ford's new SatTrack Expedience tool waiting for the train. The vehicle circled in the pic below is my DMG batch 5272 281/330. The tool is also showing my 12V running at about 89%. The tire pressure on my passenger front tire is a little low. Ford customer service also just told me, "it will get there when it gets there, don't call again," and "please take our customer satisfaction survey at the end of this call".

Wow! That’s cool. I’d like to check mine.

My status still shows in production on 4/19/22. Based on this info I received from my dealer, my car was built on 4/19/22. The estimated dates sync up with the dates I received last week from the chat I had with Ford. Looks like, the wait continues.

I can't tell what is happening at the Ford plant. Are they not building cars this week? What about next week? I have been focused on the prior weeks' build threads. The 4/18 crew seems to have modules now and is also in limbo. Ford had an early April burst of energy and now who knows? I think our June delivery dates (mine via my dealer was June 1st) seem more unrealistic now

My delivery date is/was 5/11-17 as recently as Monday of this week. I don't see how that could be realistic. I went and read some March build week threads and it made me sad. Even the 4/4 thread feels much more than a week ahead of us.

Ford Chat confirmed with me the car is built, and moved off-site waiting for transport. So fingers crossed. Batch 5272 290/330

My California Rt1 has been in production since 4/12. I remember seeing on this thread that some cars built on 4/12 have already shipped. Yesterday, I called Ford and was told my car has an estimated delivery date of May 27th. The lady said my car was off site for upfitting. I asked if that meant the car is waiting for additional components and she said no it would say "on hold" in her system. So maybe our batch of cars have already shipped or maybe they are just waiting for a quality control check. I should also mention I can no longer bring up my window sticker.

Wild guess here, but maybe your build week is now the official start of MY22 Job 2 (no idea what changes would be involved other than no more Park Assist) and there are some extra checks being done before all the cars get the go ahead to be shipped? In the meantime it seems almost all if not all of the chip hold cars from January and March have gone out the door. Which would really mean you guys should be next...

Exactly the same as me. Select AWD

Very clever spoof but you missed April Fool's Day by a few weeks.
Would you be interested in my home charger solution?

Good thing I didn’t call a Ford Chat and ask for the Sat Track login! Lol!

So.... is anyone doing anything special when they eventually, hopefully, one day, get their MME?

First thing I'm doing is getting it ceramic coated and PPF'd. Reading this forum, I feel like the paint is pretty weak on these cars. I'll also get the windows tinted, but not sure how dark yet.

Next I'm going to paint my calipers blue (instead of the default red). Lastly I'm getting new rims and tires. I already picked them out, but not gonna order until I know the car is actually arriving soon.

I’ll wash it (possibly use gentle clay bar) then apply a coat of Hybrid Solutions Ceramic. Maybe a coat of wax after that? That’s way more than I’ve ever done for a new car. I might drill the access holes for the 12V battery. On the fence there.

Ah yes forgot about that! Yeah I'm gonna do that for sure. I have a constant fear of being stranded in a remote location. I don't wanna be there any longer than I have to pulling off frunk pieces to get to my 12v

Can someone send a link to the 12V solution if it’s handy? Thanks.
