I placed my order on 3/20 and the dealer accepted shortly thereafter. However, no news since then. I checked with the dealer, and even though the "place order" shows as "Ready," they confirmed there aren't any issues and that everything is on track.

I know there have been some delays due to chip shortages and whatnot, but have others had this experience as well? How long has it taken you to get a production date?
It's the same for me

I placed my order on 10-12-2020 and still no production week listed on Ford's Order Status web page (on first button). My dealer checked his program which said week of May 24th and I called Ford Customer Service and they said the same thing; week of May 24th. Crossing my fingers at this point. We'll see. ?

I placed my order on 2/22/21 and last week advanced to the third circle: production scheduled for week of 5/23.
I placed my order one day before you. I’m still stuck on the second circle with no build date. This gives me hope!

I placed my order for a Premium Rapid Red with grey interior on Feb 3 and still waiting for a production date. Glad others who placed their order in Feb are starting to get production dates. I am feeling encouraged.

Order accepted 01/20. A chorus of “I don’t know.” from everybody involved since then.

I just got my build week, about a month after I placed the order. It's slated for the week of 6/14. No VIN yet but I'm getting excited! Anyone else seeing any movement on their orders?

Here's another "Me Too" post. Ordered mine on 25-Feb-2021, scheduled for production week of 14-Jun-2021. But I ended up buying one off the lot and cancelled my order with the dealer and got my deposit back. The manager said I'll probably still get emails since they want the car to sell, so they won't tell the mothership that it's cancelled.

I still don't have a VIN on the ford site. It's stuck at "Week of ___" with no info, even though I got an email. Are you getting the standard range or extended range?

I'm not too worried, I've waited this long, so I can wait longer.

You can find your VIN on that page using developer options. I've heard your dealer should be able to provide it too. It's not really good for much at this point.
I used the tool written by @TheSeg to get mine. Then I also just looked through all the info that is found on the developer side. There's some interesting stuff in there. ?

That site doesn't play nicely with all browsers. When the date is blank like that, it usually means it's time to try a different browser. If I remember correctly, Firefox doesn't work but Chrome does.

That's so funny, I work in tech support so I should have tried another browser first before posting. Thank you! Got my VIN.

To be fair, any modern website should support the major browsers. The fact that several parts of Ford sites don't really shouldn't be a thing.
