If your Mach-E Reservation page shows a build week, you can likely get your VIN!
NOTE (12/4/2021): Details tool is broken due to Ford API changing.
Ford Mach-E Reservation Details Viewer
It's ugly, there's a few steps to take to get to the data, but at the end you'll be able to get your VIN. I even generate a barcode your FordPass app will accept.
Notes:
You can not use a mobile phone as it requires a browser's development tools.
I wanted to make a site where you can get this information, but without compromising your privacy. No analytics, no third-party CDNs for libraries, no data uploaded from any data you enter. Everything runs locally once you load the page. The site is hosted via AWS CloudFront.
I have a GitHub repo with the code, if you are a front-end developer like me and want to examine or run the code locally. I'm not going to spend much time with support, but will listen to feedback. If you're also a developer, I welcome pull requests as well!
New Feature: Vehicle Order Tracking
If you have your VIN and your order number (the 4-5 digit long one), you can get all the details the Ford Vehicle Order Tracker gives you. You can even bookmark it for later using the "Direct Link" URL.
Backstory:
When my Mach-E order posted a build week, I wanted to find out what my VIN was. After doing some exploring, I discovered that the VIN number is included in the payload! Sadly you can't directly link to the JSON file even when logged in (long story). Otherwise I'd just directly link to that file to copy/paste into the tool.
I could add more details to view, including an image of the car and plan pricing data. I wasn't sure about the interest or the accuracy in exposing that data. Nor did I want to reinvent what's already on the reservation page.
