weeks and maybe months right now. mine went in 7/14, produced 8/9 and still sits un-shipped waiting on chip with and unchanged, and likely very unrealistic eta of 9/25.
Extremely similar dates for me too and the same status currently.

Join the club. My original order from 04/22 just got a production date of 10/18/21. If I had not found my current car I would be waiting until December for my order.

Ugghh. The production week for my GTPE was pushed out a week from 9/12 to 9/20. "You're killing me, Smalls."
Maybe they have to adjust for this "trap" and top speed stuff that is eating up the rest of this forum.

Or maybe they didn’t forecast enough seats or magneride parts. Something is affecting our MME GT-PEs.

With all the delays and inconsistent updates, the build date on the Ford site seems arbitrary. My GTPE originally had a 9/12 build date when dates were first assigned. Then moved to 9/13 (one day) a month ago. Today it is still saying 9/13.

Agreed that the assigned production weeks seem arbitrary. The silly allocation factor and some other factors make the logic behind the production week confusing. I still believe that a reservation shouldn’t have lower priority than a non-reservation, but there is evidence that this is not the case.

The move from Sunday to Monday is normal. It happens to everyone between a month and 2 months before the scheduled week. The original computer system through which the production weeks is assigned appears to begin the week on Sunday. Since the factory doesn’t work on Sundays, it’s a meaningless change. Note that it is not a production date, it’s the assigned production week.

Glad to hear that your order hasn’t slipped like some of the rest of us with GT-PE orders.

I just looked at my Manage Orders page. My production week used to be 9/27/21 (5 months after my reservation was converted to an order and accepted by dealer). It is now 10/4/21. @Ford Motor Company what gives? Bad enough that several MMEs without reservations have been shipped while my reserved GT-PE order was just sitting and sitting. Now it’s delayed another week? Not happy about this.
For those of us who received out Mach Es month ago, there were frequently shifts of ESTIMATED production date by a week one way or they other and sometimes one way, then back the other. This can happen as they fine tune the scheduling. I recommend you not fret over one week shifts in these estimates as it may not be a delay, just fine tuning. Also remember that there is no single day on which the car is produced. The process of production can take a week or longer and has multiple stages including
Schedule Date (and prior schedule date when shifted)
Sent to Plant
Body Shop
Trim Line
Produced

Then there are the multiple shipping dates
Shipped
ETA Start
ETA End
Delivered

Your dealer can see these details in their Vehicle Visibility system.

My GTPE is still scheduled for 9/6 production week (no change). However, it appears to have gone "into production" today according to the tracker. Still no window sticker though.

For those tracking builds, how long does it take for a vehicle to move from "production" to "built". I'm at day 7 now, expecting it to be longer (obviously).
Mine went from "production" on 7/14 to "in transit" (to a holding lot for mostly built vehicles?) on 7/20, but still has no "built" date seven weeks later as the car waits for part. Estimated delivery date range is still a very optimistic 8/22-8/28, as of September.

Same production date, thought it does not show up. It changed to in production on Tuesday and the sticker showed up the next morning.

I ordered a premium 4x in mid-March. I got a production week of 8/16 in late June. Still shows the same production week but no indication that it’s been built or window sticker. Is this unusual?
