My car is built and that's how it looks like.

Officially built. No email yet though. Maybe Tuesday along with a delivery window.

Looks like the average time for this step is 6 days so we may want to meter our expectations, but hopefully it's faster than that. Seems like the folks who got their shipment dates in this thread so far didn't wait that long but not sure

Batch 6267, 137/450. Just saw my modules have been populated.

Just got notification that my car is built-hooray! Batch 6267- 137/450

I'm Batch 6267, 194/450, modules are populated, my status hasn't changed on the tracker yet, but I'm expecting that email any minute now!

OMG…finally! Like you, I’ve been keeping track myself and just logged in to discover this change:

While good news, my give-a-shit-meter is at its lowest point. This has NOT been a good experience, mainly due to the lack of communication from Ford:

A) @Ford Motor Company never sent me (or you, probably) any communication about the build week delay. Seriously…how hard is it to connect up systems that display the status information about progress and have that trigger an automatically sent email?

B) Since I ordered online — and CEO Farley is very public about his goal of changing the way Ford customers order and are delivered vehicles — I expected A LOT more than close to radio silence with direct communication from Ford. So much for “changing the way we do business” I guess.

Even though it’s likely that internal Ford people may think, “Oh…these orders are tied to a dealer so we only have to send 3-4 emails to an online ordering customer” and ”let ‘em talk to the dealer about their order so we don’t have to.” I’d like to have a little chat with them and ensure they understand what a horrifically bad job they’re doing with customers. Also that Gen Xers (and especially Millenials) will NOT put up with this crap.

C) Getting the car has taken ALOT longer than expected. My order was confirmed Monday, December 20, 2021 and delivery will be between Saturday, August 20, 2022 and Friday, August 26, 2022. That is a whopping 8 months or 35+ weeks from order to delivery and is still two months away from today!

Yes, I know others have waited longer. But again, only 3-4 emails in all that time is what agitates me the most.

End of my rant.

Look at it this way. I ordered TWO months before you and my expected delivery date is only a week or 2 before yours. So you are doing a lot better than many of us.

Lets just hope that it makes it to us in one piece.

I have an estimated delivery date of 8/3-8/9 now. I've also seen on other threads that this is like the only part of the process where Ford under promises and over delivers. Some folks get their cars up to 2 weeks before the estimated date. We'll see if that's the case here obviously but things have moved quickly after the recall issue.

So, per this thread, the last batch scheduled for the 5/30/22 build week (6267) is now being built in the 6/20/22 build week. Also happening, 4 batches (6456, 6588, 6619, 6651) totaling 1539 units appear to be scheduled this same week. Can Cuautitlan do it?

I'm batch 6267 238/450 and I just got my build notification!! Super excited!! Can't wait til this train arrives in Canada! I know I got mine SUPER fast compared to some others (ordered it 3/2/2022 - Mach E Premium AWD SR Dark Matter Grey), so here's to hoping everyone else is getting theirs too!!

Go to the reservation page. I haven't received an email but it showed up built with an estimated delivery window on the reservations page.

Has anyone seen any activity on batches 6235 or 6267 yet?

i'm 06/302 on batch 6235 and I'm in production now. probably built now since I have the option to activate my car from the fordpass app lol

These 2 month estimates from built to delivery are depressing. The only potential positive is that I could bail and order a 23 if there are significant updates (though probably lose the credit and pay more....hmm).

US Fed tax credit is discussed at length in many other threads. Current speculation is that Ford will exceed their 200,000 EV units sold in the US in 2022Q3 (July-Sept 2022). If so, $7500 amount remains in affect until New Years 2023, when it drops by half for 2 quarters. Then, 1 July 2023 it drops to 1/4 for 2 quarters (end of calendar 2023). When one buys the MME determines the amount of the potential tax credit. Your own tax obligation for that tax year determines whether you get any of that tax credit. Spending bill had extension and additional $4500 credit proposal, but again, it looks like Congress will continue to be paralyzed on this subject. Price rise for 2023MY seems as highly likely, as "significant updates" does not, IMHO. A cynical guess would say that Ford will take no orders for CR1 or Premium MME in 2023. thus emphasizing Select and GT models.
