This stat is old but perspective on how many FCTP units there are in the staging lot, along with the initial run of customer special orders.

It's either waiting to go or it went...

Where does that status report come from?

Your dealer. Ask for a visibility report.

only one month of spring left, but since they shipped dealer models, they’ve hit their mark

 

[Griddlez]

I think someone needs to make a dedicated grumpy thread for all those waiting for delivery. That sh*t was good times in the Mach-E forums.

Your visibility report should calm all the people like me fretting about getting a spray liner. If I am reading your report correctly it took 18 hours for the entire process.

chiming in here, not my report. But dealers have long blamed delay on offsite spray liner for delay.
I wish I remembered where I saw it - company can process several hundred per day - delay not on their end.

if I had known they wouldn’t have shipped out immediately I would have opted for factory spray. Have it on a ‘19 and is in great shape.

I have seen the same reporting. I think it was even an interview with the actual owner of the company.

Ugh, well my jeep just needed a new PCV valve because it started to leak. This is one last FU my jeep gave me. I think knows what's coming!

Come on Ford I don't want to dump any more $$ into the jeep!

I can honestly tell you that there are times when trucks are delayed by bedliners. My 21 F150 was delayed by the spray in bedliner for 3 weeks before it was released to be shipped. I don't have the visibility report anymore, but it was 3 weeks after it was sent off-site.

04/18 folks, check your E-mails this morning. Guy on Reddit posted a picture (I can’t post it here for some reason ) of an E-mail he got this morning from Ford indicating his truck is built and they’re performing final inspections to “ensure we deliver a vehicle that you can depend on.”

He said he has a Platinum on order and the E-mail expects his dealer to receive the vehicle between May 30th-June 5th. He added that he lives in MI.

Could be nothing, could be something but I’m hopeful a few of you get a similar E-mail to confirm.

 

[rlbussard]

He actually stated he lives in Richardson Texas and it's being delivered to Richardson Ford.

No, scroll down a bit he answered that he’s a Michigan resident. There appears to be a Richardson Ford in Standish, MI.

I checked 5 April customer builds and only 1 had a build date from the Forum. This is the VIN that had a build date 1FT6W1EV2NWG03314 . I didn't check them all though, the tracker seems to start moving really slowly after I check a few of them. This person's build date was dated today with a production date of 4/12. No shipping information though, so maybe that will come today. At least that is a plus to see things moving finally.

If that guy had an estimated shipment of 30 May to 5 June and he is only in Michigan, it doesn't look well for all the rest of getting trucks by June then.
