I will keep you guys updated. The order status tracking shows that the order was placed on 7/29 which is when i changed my order from the SR to ER, and that it was finished being built on 9/29. But the overall status is still at order received.

This web-tracker behaviour follows long with recent trends where some folks tracker show it reverting the day before a shipping update happens, what's odd is the lack of built, that's more puzzling, roll with it and see what happens Wednesday!!!

I'm still at Built, and Ford Chat told me Friday I was still at "released to Carrier". Today I'm still at Built, but Ford Chat says my status updated to "At ramp 51, Flat Rock, MI". Which the chat person told me is a rail yard/loading facility. Good news maybe?

Still watching the status of my order, which hasn't changed in several weeks. I contacted Ford Chat, and they didn't have any additional information on my order either.

Glad other trucks are getting shipped now.

could it be that yours is getting the battery recall fix before getting ship ?

I don’t think so. Mine is in a similar state, but is “built” and just stuck not having been updated since September. Nor has it been shipped.

So same here, I went from built on 10/1 to final preperation today, and I got an email from Ford that the car is ready to purchase. No call from my dealer yet. Wierd....

Wait… without getting a notice that it shipped??

Correct, it doesnt even have a shipped date listed, just a final prep notice and an email to complete the purchase.

Sounds like a convoy run, most direct route to your dealer is 577 miles 9 hour drive by truck, this has happened in the past. Loaded in the morning and dropped this late afternoon.

The amount of twists and turns in this process is crazy. From in production for weeks, to built a week ago, to my dealer saying it would take 7-10 days for the shipping process, to SURPRISE its at the dealer.....

I’m 540 miles… so you’re saying there’s a chance….

Really though I’m just antsy because I have to go TDY in a few weeks, I don’t want a motor pool car, and I don’t want to take my wife’s car away for 4 days. Worst case I’ll just deal with a 2015 HHR with no AC or heat

I'm not sure I trust it yet. Could have used a heads up to get all my ducks in a row with everything else including a trade in....but there we are.

@TaxmanHog is this a bad sign? I haven’t seen anybody post about getting this email?

My date did change yesterday, but it changed before and I never got an email.
