It would be nice if Ford gave more info, but they probably don’t have much info to give. I don’t think this is anything like tracking an Amazon
...
At the end of the day, Ford is also the wholesaler here and our business is with the dealer.
...
Anyway, I think Ford has done an OK job with room for future improvement on the communication front
I agree with these sentiments 100%. The reporting systems don't all seem to be on the same page but these were developed for dealers not retail customers. The detail and level of detail won't be the same as a retailer would provide.The last time I special ordered a car, I received exactly zero communications. Including when the car arrived on the lot.
...
And this was in California. Ford is doing far better imo.
Overall the level of communication has been pretty good. Bottom line is a month before the MME arrives at the dealer I have an email giving me an estimated arrival date. Plus a web site that provides a lot more detail. With the vagaries of rail shipping there isn't a real possibility of doing better than that.
