Your estimated build date, 2/7/2022 is weeks ahead of my current guestimate. Please describe how it was determined?Just added my info: I ordered a Dark Matter Grey GT on 5 December 2021. The build date is scheduled for the week of 2/7/2022

Dunno. But it seems a few others who ordered GTs mid to end November have also gotten build dates. Maybe they are prioritizing the GTsHow did you get a build date already?
Nice work here. I too, reviewed the database and arrived at this which I posted in another thread. Your spread confirms my results. Thank you.From the database of this thread, I looked at all the entries that had a VIN assigned; as of 17 Jan 2022. There are only 49 participants who have entered a VIN. I arranged them chronologically by "estimated build date". 42 of these are 2021 orders that were converted to 2022MY and are now being built. There are only 7-2022 orders (deposited from 1 Oct 2021) that have been given a VIN. (That is, there probably are more of each but can't be assessed if they are not entered in this database. Whatever database Ford uses to assign VIN, build dates, etc, is apparently inaccessible.) My dealer doesn't respond to such inquiries about such things.
The shortcut MME 17 digit VIN decoder: 1st 3 digit are manufacturer. Digits 5-8 are model and drive train (example K3SU=Premium, AWD, Extended Batt). Digit 10 is model year, M-2021, N-2022. Digit 11 is Cuautitlan Assembly Plant. The last six digits are the unique serial number for each specific car.
By sorting this way, I was looking for clues about rate at which they're producing MMEs for the US. It looks like all models are numbered serially as they are produced. From this limited sample, it appears that first 2022 MME (3 weeks Jan 3-24) have VIN serial between the 1360-4371 range. (The entries with Dec 2021 est. build date have been bumped into January 2022 and the participant just didn't update the entry.) This suggests that about 3000 MME were produced for US. (I've made WAG that Canada and European destined MME have different serial numbering scheme.) Somewhere in the week of 24 Jan, the VIN serial jumps 10,000. Another WAG, this is a code that has another meaning than the actual number of MME produced, perhaps a month code. Of the unknown number of folks given a VIN and build date for this time period, early Feb 2022, there are only 11 folks who have entered a VIN in this database. Not enough for me to see a conclusion. Looks like more time wasted on day 41 of a predicted 196-day wait. haha Maybe someone else can see something or has access to better information.
