Tasks are parallel and tightly timed. When a rating is known and the time it is published aren't strictly the same thing.

Someone mentioned having a build date of 10/29/20 (posted on 10/28/20 mentioned a build date of "tomorrow"). I inquired and they replied:

"
I'm an employee (non-executive), located in SE Michigan, and got the build date from our internal ordering system.

(All of the orders are scheduled, and I'm not getting special treatment other than the ability to look at my build date and window sticker.)

"
They also provided this window sticker with some info redacted for privacy:

Bummer.
The EPA info is what I really wanted to see but no such luck yet....

Are all the check digits shared so far an "A"

Agreed.
It is starting to sound like Ford is going to hold that info until right before OKTB.

I'm not aware of any customer, currently sellable, units shipping anytime soon though. So far as we know OKTB (okay-to-buy) isn't until end of November (person who shared this window sticker mentioned " My build date looks to be tomorrow, but I don't expect OK-to-buy until November sometime, plus shipping, prep for delivery, etc. ").

Still time for Ford to release the EPA numbers and safety ratings.

I don't know the hard end date for supplying the rating to the agencies. It could be prior to the end of the model year. Chime in, experts...

Some manufacturers have sold units without a MPG rating, they just publish later.

Didn’t realize there were RWD FEs.
There aren't. There are RWD Premiums. There is no distinct designator for FE in the VIN code.

To our knowledge Ford isn't shipping cars for sale yet.

This car hasn't necessarily been built yet - stickers are generated around a few weeks before it's built, and even then aren't necessarily the "final" sticker you'll see on the car when it's delivered (as I'd guess in this case, since it clearly says NOT FOR SALE).

Most folks here will be able to pull their stickers a few weeks before they're built.

The sticker also gives us our first solid info as to data charges. The connected Nav system has 3 years included. Presumably after that, we're paying for map and POI updates on a subscription basis.

Exactly. Building != Shipping. These units are all getting parked for now. Which should also make some of us with later build dates feel better. The guy with the October build date isn't getting his MME before the rest of us, unless he's being less than truthful about not being an executive.
