New delivery date.

[New2EV]

Check with your dealers. My date slipped from 8/11 to 8/21 on the Ford website, but my dealer says he shows 8/3.

Check again...mine on the tracker here on the forum (not on the Ford Vehicle Order Tracking site) just jumped back from 10/31 to 8/31 which is still later than originally planned, but definitely sooner than Halloween.

Still 10/31. Hoping it will change. Thx.

Just two data points, but it is encouraging nevertheless to see some movement. Maybe a solution to whatever has been preventing new vehicles from being completed and shipped is now in sight.

Mine was produced this Wednesday, with an estimated delivery date of 8/28. I have been expecting the ETA to slip to the catch-all date of 10/31 within a few days, this gives me hope it won't be pushed out that far.

My date went from 8/13 to 10/31 and now today we have changed to 8/28 yeah

Almost all of these are chip delays. Many cars are built like so many other manufacturers they are just sitting and waiting for chips. Most articles regarding auto companies and chip shortages show 100’s of cars sitting in lots waiting for chips. Not going to get many answers from dealers as they can only tell that computer just shows car built waiting for chip.

Chips do not go directly into cars. They must be assembled onto printed circuit boards and then go into modules. The cars will sit waiting for the module which is plugged into the car. Once Fords supplier gets a shipment of chips to build into a module everything else can be scheduled with relative certainty. This explains your dates jumping around.

Real progress: Yesterday forum tracker changed ETA from 10/31 to 9/4. Today Reservations Viewer also shows ETA end date as 9/4, along with showing ETA start date as 8/29, and for the first time a release date of 7/16 (looking at reservation details). Best of all, Ford site now shows "Built" with estimated arrival at dealer as 8/28 to 9/3. Only the Ford Order Tracker hasn't changed yet but probably will soon. I was really worried yesterday when I read that Ford might be shipping cars to dealers to install semiconductors. Seems at least in my case this didn't apply to Mach-e and that they have completed the build three weeks later than the production date of 6/26. My original 8/17 ETA slipping to 9/4 also reflects this three week delay.

This is great to hear, and thank you for all the detail.

Others are also reporting estimated delivery dates switch from 10/31 to August/September as well. However, you are the first I've seen report that you also have a "Built" status and s shipping date.

With an in production date of 6/26 (which is end of build week 6/20), you also have one of the earliest builds affected by the delay. So it's no surprise you are one of the first to see yours finally be "built". Hopefully this begins to cascade to those of us with week 6/27, 7/4, and 7/11 builds.

Right now, all week 7/4 GTs (the first week for the GT) are still returning 10/31 while week 7/11 GTs would not have seen ETA dates go to 10/31 for a couple more days. And now maybe they never will, but even if they do briefly, it looks like the end is in sight.

Hopefully a minor correction. I do have Built status, but not yet saying shipped.

Ok. I assumed that is what you meant by "release date".

To level-set on terminology, would you mind putting your VIN in the forum tracker real quick:

https://www.macheforum.com/site/pages/tracker/

And reporting the dates as specified there?

Build week 6/20/21
Production start 6/28/21

Awesome! Do you have a "Ship Date" in the forum tracker? Or, if using https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking, do you see a date under status "Built"?

Just follow up, the forum tracker still doesn't have a "Ship Date" for your VIN.

I think it's fantastic that 10/31 delivery dates are going away. Unfortunately, until vehicles start actually shipping to customers, we don't know for sure if things are back to normal... yet.

Yes, that's the positive sign, using https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking I now see an actual 'built date' of 7/16/21 and an estimated delivery date of 9/6/21.

No shipped date yet, but I'll take this update as a little victory.

My GT order was in production as of yesterday, today shows sticker and palsap pending, but no delivery date filled in yet on Ford tracker.
