9/12/22 Build Week Chat

[Spectre]

Thanks! I'm kind of cautiously optimistic - believe it when I see it mode, but hopefully!

I think the timing of yours logically makes sense. The train it will be on will be headed out west to CA. You are likely one of the early to middle stops on the route.

8071 1316/1350 Dark Matter Gray GT PE
VIN: 59xxx
Ordered 3/24
Built 9/14
Estimated Delivery 9/30/2022 - 10/6/2022 (to STL, MO)
28+ weeks estimate holding solid (10/6 would be exactly 28 weeks)

just another data point, on the difference between 2022 GT and prem AWD models:
My Prem AWD MME (VIN 500XX) "built" 9/13 (40 weeks after ordering) with delivery ETA 10/9 to 10/15 which would be, 44 weeks after ordering.

I have modules... lots of modules!!! YAY! ? This is actually happening?!?! ???

Rapid Red Premium AWD ER with Light Grey interior [ 8156 1312/1441 ]

congrats - and interesting as usual where things don’t follow what we assume is an ordered process. I’m same batch and show 289/1441 yet no modules as of yet. Also Premium AWD ER but silver metallic.

When do these things usually ship out? I'm guessing towards the end of the week after they have a full load to put on the train. My ETA says 10/16 to 10/22 going to Denver.

Mine now shows as built today but not yet shipped. Sat at 1030 modules since yesterday morning (and still 1030). Estimated delivery of 10/19-10/25. As with the past ten months, no email updates from Ford.

Totally agree... the sequencing of production seems kinda random from the outside. I'm sure there is some logic to it that we aren't privy to.

To keep it in perspective (as some members here are/were quite sensitive on order to build dates - which I expect will then turn into build to ship to delivery date whining ), I have a co-worker that had a Tesla M3 ordered/delivered and he was surprised we had this much insight into our cars moving through the order/scheduling/build/shipping process as we do. So maybe the insight we seem to have is driving some of the angst on the forum.. but not me as I have more pressing things in my life to focus on. hahaha

I'm just happy mine is currently being built and refuse to focus on what Ford "didn't do as fast as I expected/wanted" and make myself unhappy.

That's interesting. We have:

Utah: 10/07 - 10/13
Nevada: 10/08 - 10/14
California 10/09 - 10/15

Sounded logical until Denver chimed in

Correct, it does not make sense at all. It does seem like GT's were definitely favored from my batch considering I was towards the end of that batch.

I know Tesla always does delivery pushes before the end of each quarter and there is bias to the more costly vehicles. Not saying that I expect to take delivery of my GT before the end of the month.

Mine going to NJ is 11/5-11/11

Mine is 1384/1441 GTPE - looks like you were 1390/1441. I still do not have modules showing up.

Still thinking the order is no more accurate than picking a number out of a hat.

There you go, I am completely wrong... and very perplexing like you said. So random.

I am eager to see a shipping estimate to see where that lies with the data others have been submitting.

My Premium AWD ER is 1257/1441 with no modules yet

What gets me is that when I ordered, the site had "Premium" listed as 20 or 24 weeks (I don't remember which) the GT was in the "28+" status. I wasn't expecting this to be built until the end of October, if it even ended up being a 2022 and not pushed to a 2023.

I've got modules!

All,
Manage your expectations! I have a space white premium ER, RWD with black interior on order. Batch 8071 (spans both 9/5 and 9/12 build weeks) 226/1350. 1/1 Order date in Virginia. I was 8/29 build week and was pushed back to 9/5 build week. I have had about 900 modules in place since late afternoon 9/10. No movement since. The car is still not built yet well into the 9/12 build week. Ford Chat has had no additional information.

I had assumed that all cars would be completed by the end of the assigned build week, but it is looking like that is not the case. In good news, it appears most of the folks from my build week are already built and shipped. I am just lucky I guess!

An update for anyone who ordered a premium extended range RWD. Myself and another gentleman who ordered a similar mach e (one orange, one space white) from the 9/5 build week. We both got emails today saying our production was delayed due to supply chain issues and that they would update us every 45 days (I hope it doesn't come to that). My guess is that any premium ER RWD vehicle will be getting a similar message at some point.
