9/12/22 Build Week Chat

[RedDragon]

RedDragon - I have a Rapid Red Premium AWD ER with Light Grey interior [ 8156 1312/1441 ] and no modules are showing for me yet. Maybe our cars will be assembly line neighbors?

Looks like it! Next time I'm down in NC I'm sure mine will be searching for it's twin!

Autos topping the list of train shipments stopped, already.

Looks like some Rep senators have introduced a bill to end any strike. We will see where this all goes....

I think either it will get resolved by Friday or if it doesn’t, it will get resolved next week. The impact to the economy is too great.

And I have modules this morning. 8071 458/1350, Prem eAWD, Space White, light grey.

 

[RedDragon]

Edit - adding config and batch numbers:

Configuration - Rapid Red Premium Ext Range AWD, light grey interior
Batch: 8071 483/1350.

Seems like its getting closer, but maybe theres another couple weeks to avert it:

IAM said that it would delay strike action until Sept. 29 at noon to allow union leaders to continue negotiations with railroads.

My vehicle status changed to built awaiting shipment. Hopefully, this railway thing gets resolved quickly.

No modules yet here, but I am batch 8156, and I don't think anyone here has mentioned they have modules from that batch yet. That and I believe my dealer told me my build date is Thursday.

I'm at the very end of that batch and currently have a scheduled date of Saturday the 17th. Thinking a good chunk of our batch will roll into next week since it is so large and crickets on the modules.

I'm sure the production order is further grouped by color, trim, interior, maybe even destination. Looks like they are getting to reds. @Bigfeets - what color is your interior? I'm the same color and config as u, but I have light grey interior. I'm batch 8071 438/1350, so I'm guessing mine would be right next to yours unless we had an interior difference. No modules yet for me.

black. This AM (9/14) when I checked Ford account, it said my MME unit was built and gave 25-32 day delivery estimate. (No email or notice from dealer or Ford.) However, UP, BNSF, KCS railroads may curtail auto transport starting tomorrow in prep for strike. If so, my unit probably would sit on a lot at Cuautitlan.
Edit 9/15: Tentative settlement between RR and unions, only if unions vote to accept later this month. Received email notification "built, not shipped" from Ford (2 days after I found same in my Ford.com account. I've noticed that many folks are reporting shorter delivery ETAs.

Where did you get that 9/17 build date estimate? My car is 1257/1441 of that batch.

I'm 610/1441 in 8156 and my dealership just sent me a screenshot from their system indicating 9/15 production.

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!

Ford Chat on Monday this week. I was previously told it was 9/15 the week before.

Edit - I forgot dealer screenshotted (is that a word?) me the VVR yesterday showing the same.

 

[yersie]

I was told in the chat a while ago that build date was 9/13 (yesterday). So far no modules showing yet.

Red premium ER AWD, batch 8156, 372/1441

I just hope the don't keep delaying ...
