So the Dealer said it would start on 8/30/2021 in production.
When I look here in the forums VIN search it has been in production for a long while.

once you have a production week it generally starts the end of that week and takes about a week to manufacture the car. below is my total timeline if this helps...

That was then. Right now my GT has been in production status almost 2 months and no chip fulfillment yet. All depends on how soon Ford can get sufficient chips to get things moving again. Gonna be a while to clear the backlog.

Mine went into production, allegedly, on 20 August. I just got the email from Ford that it has been "built" as of 10 September. No idea on shipping yet.

My GT had a production week of 8/30
It got built on 8/31-9/1 depending on where you look.

After it was built I had an ETA of 10/22
Last week it updated with an ETA of 10/02
This week it is showing an ETA of 1/1/90

assuming there is a chip for it i got my car about 1 month after build date. They are weird with their dates.

My build week was last week (the 6th). I've had zero updates yet but from the results so far of this thread, it looks like it could be anytime between now and a month from now that it actually gets built.

My MME GTPE went into production 8/9 and I just got notification that my car was built on 9/11. Delivery is supposed to be between 10/30 and 11/10. Fingers crossed.

My GTPE in Cyber Orange production week was 8/9 (ETA set to my dealer in Sunnyvale CA for 10/5) -- switched to built 9/11 online (and ETA to my dealer in Sunnyvale set to range of 10/26 to 10/31).

Ford emailed me when the car went into production, and again when it was "built". The second "built" email included the VIN, although you can get this yourself just before your car goes into production.

My car hasn't shipped yet, although I hope this will be soon so I can start tracking it on palsapp and that United tracking one that might help me understand how long it will take to get to my dealer.

Thanks for everyone who updated on this. The system, shows it shipped. Before it was in Transit.
Still the delivery date is 10/24 to 10/30.
We ordered floor mats, and an adapter cable for charging, we will use the Tesla charge in the garage. So excited, all you lucky drivers.

there is some solace knowing i am not alone on this stupid waiting game we are playing. my production date was 9/6 and nothing... got a vin at least, but since that nothing. I was hoping to see something this week, but here we are wednesday and its not changed. getting old. My wifes ford lease has been up since may, we've extended 3 months twice now, in november we will have to switch to month to month. I just want this process to be over with. Never did i expect this to be like this. My F150 was ordered and on the lot in 6 weeks....

Be prepared to wait between 2-6 weeks after your car goes into production during the micro chip shortage period of the foreseeable future. That number will fluctuate with the incoming allocation that Ford gets for the Mach E line.

Build week 9/6 here and no updates.

Had dealer pull a VVR and on the 17th it was in the 'Body Shop"

Some people on the Facebook forums are getting notifications their GT's are built and had a 9/6 production week. Some didnt even have reservations. Not happy with Ford right now.

My GT PE had a production week of 8/30 and still shows in production. I talked to the dealer last week and they pulled a VVR and it shows that we are waiting on chips. The dealer still thinks that it will be delivered between 10/13 and 10/15. I have a better chance at the lottery.
