Yes, in the last few days, while I am still “in production”, not ”built” it now shows ETA of 10/31. Who knows?

My GTPE that was 16 Aug production week has now shipped as of 15 Sep.

Scheduled build week for my GT (non PE) is the week prior (week of 8/16/2021), actual productionDate got set to 2021-08-19 with an etaEndDate of 2021-10-05. No changes since then up until yesterday, when etaEndDate went to 2021-10-31.

Mine just today changed to 10/31 as well.

Are they just saving up a bunch of August and September orders to get chipped and shipped at the same time?

Hopefully we (Aug 23rd group) are no more than a week behind you.

well played, Jack is acceptable.

My other guess is that I live 30 mins north of Kansas City and maybe some of the other dates with builds later than my 8/11 one live close and don’t have to be transported far from KC. It does look like they chipped and shipped several Mach E’s.

Probably a combo of a lot of things - I’m just glad to see some movement!

Your explanation seems logical. Here is my similar response I was writing before seeing your response:


What if....

Around a 1,000 GTs were built in August (production dates after 8/1) but there were no chips because of the shortage. Thus, these cars were put in "storage" awaiting the necessary parts. Many folks on this forum have reported their cars on on a "chip hold" to support this. Storage could be anything....a lot at the plant, a lot several miles away...I really don't know.

Then, some time after Labor Day weekend, the plant gets a shipment of chips. With these chips, they start with finishing the cars that are in the plant (like my ordered car) and they are slowly finishing (installing chips) the cars that were put in storage. Thus, we get a mix of newly completed cars and month-old cars being completed and "awaiting shipment".

Obviously this is just a guess and an overly simplified one at that.

My only random guess is.. maybe the chips showed up while our cars (I'm an 8/30 as well) were actively on the line.. and they just completed ours since they were there and are now going to go start backfilling parked cars? Pure speculation. Glad I am not the only around 8/30 that just got that built email.

I reached out to my dealer yesterday and they confirmed they saw no hold and they saw the same built status and eta - we are truly moving.

My GTPE was assembled on 8/11 but is still waiting for microchips and the ETA was just delayed from 10/7 to 10/31.

 

[sharkcom]

Yes confirming that mine also now shows a date of 10/31 too.

now, when is the next train from Mexico leaving the station becomes the question..

Maybe yesterday. I now see the "shipment date" for my car was 9/17. I'm told to expect delivery in about a month.
