Umm, I don't want to be a jerk about it but does anyone have any proof? A single marketing tweet doesn't necessarily mean all that much to me, especially with European plate holders on the cars.
Unbelievable!

If you're going to comment then I want to see some good memes being excited. If we going to celebrate might as well do it big.
It’s wonderful news and now Ford kept it’s word in a very challenging time! ? Hopefully Ford will get the same news from the railroads and then we’ll all see some real progress.

Doesn't the $500 order with the dealer keep them from doing that?
I was just messing around, but still, I suppose if you really did completely ignore your dealer, at some point (maybe a few weeks?), they would presumably be able to cancel your order and sell the car to someone else. It is, after all, the dealer’s property until we sign the paperwork for our MMEs.

Well my production date of 12/10 is it. Nothing new today. I am afraid to check daily. I will likely wait until someone here on this side of the pond says that they have a transit/ship date.

I'm sure that's defined in the fine print somewhere. It is fair as long as it's a reasonable time window. If you ignore the dealer for 3 months, yeah.... they get to sell the car.

I am late to the party, but just let me say.....THANKS, TRU!!!! You really made my Friday nite with the news about Oktb and the ponies on the cart...

My belated guess is that Ford hired the Justice League or the Avengers to get the wheels in motion.

Liars :) Maybe by customers they mean "Ford Executives", or even "Ford Dealers" for their demo cars. With that said though, I'm hoping for a Christmas miracle, and like many have called for on this forum -- I'm thinking positive thoughts.
Nah. Ford Execs got theirs already.

Looks like you need to learn a little more before trying to throw shade in the dark.

Does anyone know how we'll be notified of a delivery date once our car ships? Let the excitement begin!
Your dealer will realize they should call you a couple of weeks after the car arrives ;)

Honestly I doubt it. I live in Dearborn and I see stunningly few MMEs on the road. That was not the case when (for example) the Aviatior launched a while back. I suspect they want these to get to paying customers.

I don’t think anyone on this board will have to worry about not getting called. We’ll be calling the dealers every five minutes asking about the status. They’ll be begging Ford to ship the cars ASAP.
