This still doesn't shed much light on whether those ordered a long time ago, and are already in production with a window sticker, are being completed as soon as parts are available, and whether dealer allocations have anything to do with these.
Definitely two separate concerns. Once you have a build date - heck, once your order has been accepted - the dealership's allocation volume is no longer a factor.
I received a "It's Yours" email from Ford, so I assume it's an accepted order. I updated my information to your list last night. Curious as to why some order numbers are so short.
Some people either put down the last 4 of their reservation/order number, or they are using the 4-digit order number your get from your dealer, which is a different number.
I didn't understand what "accepted order" meant when I put my order in the list, and maybe I still don't. I submitted my "order request" on-line, but it was not a real order until the dealer entered it. However, Ford has not accepted my order yet because my dealer does not have any allocation. I thought when the dealer "accepted" my on-line order, it was accepted. But I think I misunderstood what that means and should have waited until Ford actually accepts it. Right?
Just had my ETA on the tracker update from 8/5 to 10/31. That's going from less than 30 days away to over 100 days away. ? My production date was 6/15.
I agree it sucks, but at least it's not Fords fault.
I started freaking out when I read this. I knew my car was shipped but I was freaking out that it might get held somewhere for additional work. Looks like i missed this barely. Vehicle shipped 6/15. Showed up in Kansas City 6/25. It's 7/9 and it is currently in Nebraska.
Thank you for calling Ford and getting some sort of official statement from customer service on the delay.
3-5 days
As far as the window sticker goes, mine became available the Wednesday before my build week. I believe (but would not swear) that the VIN lookup tool began returning data at that same time.
