Submitted Orders Tracking List and Stats [Enter Yours]

That could be, especially if there was some additional tooling or other setup necessary to begin regular production of the new model. You'd hope that was all done in advance without disrupting the rest of the line, and we know from the aerial photo that the they've been building GTs in some capacity since before this week. But perhaps they needed to pause to get full volume GT production underway.

The date ford shows you on their website is labeled as "build week." That's also the phrase the 3rd party trackers use. Your scheduled to day (when it actually starts building) is not information any of us can easily find, although it is available (perhaps vehicle visibility reports). Your actual build date (the day the car is finished) is not found outside of the vehicle visibility report. When mine was being built (late January), the builds were taking about a week to 10 days depending upon when yours started and how many days per week they were working. Mine actually took about 2 weeks and change due to a slow down for parts (apparently).

The date ford shows you on their website is labeled as "build week." That's also the phrase the 3rd party trackers use.

Hmm. So now I might be even more confused.

Ford has two websites. There's the one mentioned above by OChroma that anyone who has ordered a Ford vehicle and has a VIN and Order# can use. And there's the one that's specific to vehicles that can be ordered online like the Mach-E (https://www.ford.com/buy/my-vehicles.html#/). The latter website does have a "Build Week" (actual language is "Scheduled Production Week of") which is 7/4 in my case (this week).

The former website, however, does not appear to track this date at all, and neither do the other popular third party trackers used on this website (https://www.macheforum.com/site/pages/tracker/ and https://seg.fyi/mache-vin/#/details). When it comes to dates, as far as those three trackers (which, as I understand it, get their information from the same back-end Ford system) are concerned, my vehicle hasn't changed status since the order was placed in late April.

At the same time, I've seen screenshots of the first Ford tracker with a date in the "In Production" status. So I know something gets put there eventually, and from what I've seen it isn't just the "Build Week" date discussed above was assigned weeks earlier in the process when the VIN is assigned. It is something more precise and up-to-date than that.

Your scheduled to day (when it actually starts building) is not information any of us can easily find, although it is available (perhaps vehicle visibility reports). Your actual build date (the day the car is finished) is not found outside of the vehicle visibility report.

Okay, but the First Ford tracker does have a "Built" status which seems to be expressly for the purpose of showing when the car finishes assembly. Is that not the case?

Additionally, the third party trackers have the following dates:

Production Date
Shipment Date
Transit Date
Final Delivered Date
ETA End Date

Notably, there is "Production Date" which as I suggested earlier, has not been filled in yet in my case, even though my build week has been set at 7/4 for over a month now. So I am assuming that will be updated eventually with a date that reflects either the date the car began or completed the build process. I just don't know for certain which it is (if, in fact, it is either).

When mine was being built (late January), the builds were taking about a week to 10 days depending upon when yours started and how many days per week they were working. Mine actually took about 2 weeks and change due to a slow down for parts (apparently).

Exactly - the time to completion can vary. That's why it'd be great to know when the car actually does start the process, and not just be told later on "Hey, this is when it finished" or even "Hey this is when it started, this is when it finished, sorry we didn't keep you posted on that".

I 100% agree that with all the different trackers, individual order experiences, and often poor communication on Ford's side it can be very confusing. I've used the 3rd party trackers as well but keep coming back to the official Ford trackers as I feel they are the most likely to change in the event something actually happens with my vehicle.

If it helps you, my "Production Date" in the segfyi and forum trackers both show as 6/14 which is the same as the "In Production" date or "Scheduled Production Week of" date from the Ford trackers. Not sure why yours isn't populated in all locations. I think the "Built" date on Ford's trackers is supposed to represent when the car finishes assembly and is ready to ship. Pure speculation but maybe the "Production Date" on the 3rd party trackers uses the "In Production" date first and then replaces it with the "Built" date when available? I can't imagine the third part trackers have any more data access than the Ford trackers show.

That's essentially what I'm assuming as well. Here in the forums, most people (with build weeks in May and early June) were reporting that they were getting "Built" dates (meaning completed production) and "Shipped" dates the same week as or week after the "In Production" date. Since that doesn't seem to be happening for many of the June/July build week orders, I think the vehicle builds are starting on schedule but they are still waiting to be completed (either due to plant issues or component availability).

Yeah, I agree that pace has definitely slowed now. I'd have been happy just to see some type of movement this week since my window sticker became available Wednesday of last week, my status was changed to "In Production" (I think on that same day, but I'm not sure), and my originally assigned build week was this week. It seemed like everything was "a go", but I'm beginning to fear a delay. However, I am probably being a bit impatient. If there's no change by this time next week, well, I'll head on over to the "grumpy" thread to commiserate.

Oh wow, yeah, don't even get me started. There's lots of room for improvement. I assume that a more cohesive, more complete ordering experience is coming... eventually. It's too bad that they weren't able to have that all ready for the roll-out of the Mach-E and other tech-forward vehicle launches.

If it helps you, my "Production Date" in the segfyi and forum trackers both show as 6/14 which is the same as the "In Production" date or "Scheduled Production Week of" date from the Ford trackers.

That's great info. Did that date begin showing up on 6/14, before 6/14, or sometime after 6/14?

Not sure why yours isn't populated in all locations.

Yeah, it's a bit strange on the surface of things, although from what I've read others have also seen the "In Production" date differ from the "Scheduled Production Week of" date once the car actually gets to the point of being assembled. Indeed, I always thought of that build week as just an estimate, with more precise dates to follow as events take place. I don't know, though. The process seems to be two parts voodoo, two parts phase of the moon, and one part Vegas odds.

That's possible that it gets updated at some point, although you would hope they wouldn't reuse the field in that way. I don't think the third party trackers have access to more data necessarily, although they do display more detail than Ford's sites do.

To all those with June/July build dates that haven't received any "Built" or "Shipped" dates. I just spoke with a Ford representative about my vehicle (In Production 6/14/21) and they shared that the MX assembly plant is currently "on hold" for releasing MMEs. They weren't able to give an estimate for when that hold would be lifted. So my vehicle is sitting somewhere at the plant still and I anticipate many others' vehicles are as well (doesn't bode well for my ETA delivery of 8/6). My assumption is that there are indeed component shortages and only a lucky few are getting out.

For clarity, my MME order is for a Premium, Extended Battery, AWD model.

Seeing how many people on here that were in the same boat, this isn't super surprising. Really disappointing though, and they haven't updated my Est. delivery date to reflect the delay and nobody seems to know anything. Ford really needs to step up their post-order communications game. It's been 6 months since I dropped a deposit for this thing and all I've gotten is a single e-mail with actual information that is now woefully out-of-date.

So, Im unaware of anyone else knowing this information so ill type it out here so if it ever is asked or someone searches. I went over the dealership side of things today and got to talking with a sales manager about where/when I might at least get a production date for my MME GTPE... He finally let it out of the bag that it also is based on dealer allocation. If they don't have the allocation to sell, you don't get a build date. Once they get allocation, you get your build date. He informed me next month they get 4 allocation spots, which means both my two ordered MME's will likely get production dates. ( I have a premium that is on order that will I will not be taking. Not sure if they've got a buyer for it yet.) This totally explains to me my wait. This dealership has quite a few orders some earlier than mine, and is not making sense.. Hopefully this is also an explanation for others.

My GTPE build week is 7/11 and my dealer said today it's schedule for delivery on 8/16....and I'm in NH. I didn't think that was too bad at all!

 

[az-paco]

Got my window sticker today, for build week 7/11. This was a late April order, after the pricing and option changes that were rolled out, so I was interested to see on the sticker that BlueCruise is included in the options. I guess that means the software for BlueCruise should be included in my build.

That's great news! Mine's also scheduled for week of 7/11 but no window sticker yet and no ETA. I figured with a 7/11 build week it would be end of August or September at best.

Exactly. I was anticipating October delivery bit secretly hoping mid to late August. . Now I'm hoping it's even a a week earlier! Haha

Any late news from Ford/Mexico? Are all MME's still on a "ground hold"?

 

[brockr]

For any others out there dismayed by an email about your delayed Mach E, take heart: My initial estimated delivery date was 7/13/2021. In June, that got pushed to August 2nd-8th. But the actually delivery happened yesterday, July 7th.

 

[Jaywink]

Just added my order to the spreadsheet.

I personally haven't been able to get ahold of anyone with any information, it's just stuck. I'm wondering if the "Your Mach-E is delayed" e-mails went out to the wrong cohort of buyers because the people who got those e-mails seem to have received their cars on-time or early, yet a number of us with no communication from Ford are seeing no movement.

I received an update from my dealer today that might be helpful for others trying to figure out what is going on.

My dealer met with his Ford representative yesterday and said he had only 4 MMEs to allocate across all 14 of the dealerships he works with. (My dealer didn't get any of them.) Also, he said Ford didn't give any allocations to any dealership in May or June for ANY vehicles (not just MME) due to the chip shortage. It is a freaking mess out there.

Based on this information and from what I have read in other posts, Ford is definitely allocating MMEs to regions and then to specific dealers. So there will be no way to correlate your order with another outside your region, even if you place your order at the same time and for the exact same configuration.

My dealership told me that as soon as they get an allocation, my order will "pull". Maybe that means it will then be scheduled for production, or maybe just put in the queue to be scheduled. Either way, nothing will happen to my order until the dealer gets the allocation from Ford.
