It's the Ford page if your preordered online in the US. On Ford.com under your account.
Oh. I ordered from the dealer. Is there a page for order numbers rather than registration numbers?

If you contact your dealer, they can give you the exact build date as well as your VIN. Just checked mine. My build week did not move up, but my original build day was a Wednesday. After Thanksgiving, I plan to contact my dealer again to see if perhaps I was moved up to Tuesday.

My build date was moved up too! From the week of 11/30/2020 to the week of 11/29/2020. LOL Guess they decided to start the week on a Sunday rather than a Monday.
That's just the "week of" ... not the specific day. (Mine did the same thing.. "week of 12/7" became "week of 12/6". To learn my specific date within that week I had to contact the dealer.

The only thing peculiar about my order is if I use the order tracking it shows me it is scheduled for production and the week. The dealer can see the specific date. BUT... if I use the VIN tracking, it just the order is accepted (but does not show scheduled for production). Not sure why VIN tracking isn't updated (at least ... not for my VIN).

I've tried calling him and he checks but doesn't see anything. I think it's due to my late order (10-12-2020) so they probably don't schedule that far ahead. It would, however, be nice to have a VIN number.

My production week no longer shows, it’s just blank.

The VIN tracker only shows “In Production“
My production week is blank if I use Safari ... but it shows up if I use Chrome. You might try a different browser and see if you can see your production week info.

The VIN is generated once the vehicle has a production date. You may be right that it is just too early for yours. Without having made the prior account and reservation online I don’t think you will be able to obsessively check the site like so many of us do. Hopefully you have a good dealer that will contact you when you do have a build date/vin. Otherwise you might have to keep asking them like I have to do.

Nah, I don’t want to do that. I kept bugging him in the beginning because he told me I’d get my car in December or January but that is for a “normal” car. Once I wised up after being on this forum I realized how many of you have been waiting. He’ll call me if he hears anything. I wanted to check the order on my own. Also, Covid is rearing its ugly head and this could adversely affect production rather than moving it up.
