Some of us have exact days. Mine is Nov 19th.
Apparently the system shows a "week of xx/xx" designation when first scheduled and then later an exact date is shown in a separate column. I had a glimpse of it on the screen one time. I think it's called something different though.....maybe "sent to plant" ? When I speak with my dealer next I will see he he will show me that screen again.
I think im just gonna pop down $100 on my dealers' desk and ask him to logon to the system and pull up my info....maybe ask him to go get a cup of coffee or something.

As best as I can tell.....there are several different scheduling and tracking systems in use. Some newer, some older, some for retail, some for stock, some for fleet customers, some for tier one supplies, some for shipping etc.

My dealer sent me an e-mail with my VIN and I noticed it was a clickable hyperlink so I clicked on it and it took me to a system I have never seen before. Vehicle Vision or maybe it was Vehicle Visibility or something like that. It asked me for credentials and it looked just like the sign on that I use for my FIN so I entered the info and I was able to see all sorts of information about my order so I peeked around a bit and then closed the window. The next morning I tried to view it again and I got a message that said to call an 800 number which I did and they told me I wasn't supposed to have access to that and they fixed the glitch. :) Reminds me of a movie called "Office Space".....

No estimates. I had a friend look it up in an internal system. I’d love to have it by the end of the year. But realistically I think it’s coming in early January (4 weeks after production).
Your an insider..can't you get someone to pull some strings? ?

I have a build week of 11/29...wouldn't mind getting it 12/31.

Well, either my dealer is a moron, or he just doesn't want to assist....because he acts like I'm from Mars whenever I ask about anything going on at Ford Motor Company.
Google "vehicle visibility dealerconnection"

Or a moron who just doesn't want to assist? Sometimes these guys see special order customers as captive audiences and feel they don't need to do any more work than the minimum. They forgot that enthusiasts tend to be vocal and there are lots of dealers in the sea.

Yep, January 18th as well. My dealer said they have four premiums on reserve, three scheduled for December 7 and for some reason mine is a month and a half later.

Really wish ford would just come out and explain at all where these dates come from.
