4/11/22 build week chat

[awaters]

Just got a follow up email from Ford.com (7 hours after earlier email) now saying it’s been shipped and expected delivery 6/29-7/5. Guessing those May dates were overly optimistic.

Damn, 9-10 weeks for delivery is the worst I've seen for someone in the US. That feels somewhat odd.

5/3 Update: got the email from Ford.com a few hours ago saying my car is built and undergoing final inspections to get it ready for shipment. It said to expect delivery at the dealer between May 11-17, which is what the person told me yesterday in my “chat” on Ford.com. HOWEVER, when I click on the link in that email to view my order it now shows as shipped (new since yesterday) with an estimated delivery of 6/29-7/5! Latter seems more realistic but once again, hard to know what to believe given the inconsistencies.

Now that you have written confirmations, I'm curious what you see when you look at your modules report. On the bottom of the page of the modules list, does it say the word "built" anywhere?

Nope, looks the same as it did back a few weeks ago.

What was your "In production" date?

Has Ford abandoned updating the order tracker? Mine still shows in Production 12 Apr, and the window sticker has disappeared for weeks. It’s a Select AWD. WTF

I think it was in the week of 4/11, can't recall exactly.

Was checking my dealer's website since ordered cars are on there, including mine, and saw that the prices of them all jumped about 20k? Mine now says its 81k.. way above the msrp.. Anyone know why this may be? Surely they can't change the price after we already ordered our car right?

If they were gonna charge you adm, it should have already be on your Ford reservation page. The additional 20k is most likely their lot prices. I'm surprised they have your car listed tho.

I have seen the dealers here putting all their incoming cars on Autotrader, even though some are customer ordered cars. They probably just do that to gain interest, and to give the perception that they have stock.

Ya my window sticker says the MSRP, just weird how the price online shifted from what it was before. My dealer said their website automatically pulls and posts any cars they have coming, but ordered ones dont say "dealer ordered" on the site.

Did you do up an offer to purchase sheet with the Dealership, or did you order online? I wouldn’t worry about the markups you see online. Everyone is crazy right now

We submitted everything at the dealer! I went in and asked them a few weeks ago if they would honor MSRP because I have been hearing some horror stories about peoples orders coming in and dealers charging markups. They told me since it was an order that wouldn't happen but said they couldn't sign anything saying that as it "wouldn't mean anything" just the manager came out to assure me they wouldn't. Seeing some crazy stories on here though so I am praying thats all okay.

Found something interesting on another thread?

Speaking of updates, Ford let us know this morning that it's time to put ink to paper because our MME is in the barn! As far as shipping/tracking are concerned, late yesterday still had us in Jacksonville with no destination filled in. It showed no pair, no pick, not dispatched or delivered! Right now it still shows ASN, but the top of that page it showed DELIVERED! Yesterday the Ford progress website still had our vehicle in production even though we knew it was built! Don't ask me how any of this works but unless Ford's notice to us is another error, there will soon be a new pony in the barn! Stay safe!

Come on 4/11 gang, let's rally. We've been a quiet group. I finally got my sticker today!

I had my window sticker (I downloaded and saved the PDF) but now it's disappeared. Has yours disappeared too?

I received an email from Ford on 3/18 saying my car was scheduled for production (4/11) and the email also included my VIN. Do you have a scheduled date of production yet? I think this email comes out a few weeks before. Otherwise, you can get your VIN a more circuitous route by following these instructions here.
