Nope. Haven't had ANY promised progress emails. If I relied on Ford my car is still in the ordering process.
Ford have obviously decided that we can’t both get the emails, so you had them initially for the first few, and now I get them ?

It’s a time sharing thing

Grimaldi aren't doing us any favours at the moment. MSC IMMACOLATA's route after leaving Altamira was supposed to be Brunswick, Baltimore, Baltimore (Dundalk),Davisville and then to Antwerp. First of all yesterday her schedule was changed. She was down to sail past Baltimore and go to Davisville and then come back to Baltimore. Today they have added another port. Wilmington. So now she goes north past Baltimore and Wilmington to Davisville. Then heads south to Baltimore then to Wilmington. Then, at the moment, she sails to Antwerp. Given that it takes about 2 weeks (ish) to cross the pond and her new schedule has her leaving Wilmington on 17 Mar this means she is unlikely to get to Antwerp before April.

Just did a search using the vin tracker. My shipping date shows up as 3rd of August. Not happy. Really thinking of going Tesla even though I know I shouldn't

And absolutely nothing from the dealership. The customer service is appalling

How are you reading your ship date. 2021-08-03 or 2021-03-08.
The former is 3rd Aug, the latter 8th Mar

Good point lol so it is written as 2021-03-08. But it can't mean March surely?
I think you will find it does. What does production date say. You don't get a ship date until after production and I very much doubt for an Aug ship date I would imagine your car won't be made until end of June.
Ship Date is the date it leaves the factory for Veracruz. Should be on the ship that leaves at the end of the month

Production date says 2021-03-02.
So if car is not made until end of June then when would I be looking at the earliest time that I could get the car?
Cheers

Where can you find out whats the full schedule?
I only see Wilmington (Delaware) as last stop for MSC Immacolata.
Same goes for Grande Houston where i see Davisville as last stop.

Going by what you are saying I would surmise that your car has been made and is either at the port waiting for the next ship or it is waiting to go to the port.
