I'm tracking three members VIN's none of them have a window sticker yet, if the operation returns to normal timing we won't see them until 7/14 after 2200 hours, OTOH we might see them this evening or Thursday evening. this week.

Interestingly, I just logged into my Ford account and there is now $5k ADM that was not there two days ago. It is not on the paperwork I signed at the dealer - not sure why it would show up now.
Edit: I called my sales guy and he said their system automatically applies that after the order is written, but they will not be charging it. Given it's not reflected on my buyer's order, I imagine I will be fine.

Is mine one of them.
Getting close to the time that I was bumped down the line when other build weeks were scheduled. Hopefully the 7/25 date holds

No word from my dealer, but I'm still 7/25 on the website. I'm hopeful we're past the point of no return for this build week and I'm not moved again.
I found out another SR is being built for my dealer the week before mine. I'm wondering if me and that guy will be shipped together?

after researching how new vehicles are 'shipped', and hearing stories and information here from owners who have finally received one, or have some type of 'tracking' for it, I can certainly doubt that two vehicles, even built on the SAME day, going to the SAME dealer, might not be transported together. We wish it were that simple.
Trucks leave the factory door, and get parked on a satellite lot, ready for a transport company to then take over.
The transport company may move the vehicle to another satellite lot, or even to an 'overflow' lot if the primary lot is already full.
The transport company either then moves the vehicles onto train cars, or they have them loaded onto transport trailers. That's also were this gets complicated. They might hold a transport trailer, even with some vehicles loaded, until it gets 'full'. The same with the rail cars.
When a trailer is full, it may get moved to ANOTHER satellite lot, where it awaits a transport DRIVER, who is chosen to drive it. That driver may already be on a transport somewhere else - 5 minutes away, or 5 days away. Rail cars, fully loaded, may even sit in the rail yard for some time before they are moved to another rail lot where the appropriate cars, all heading in a similar direction, are coupled. Then they wait on a train locomotive to move them to either another rail yard, or toward a destination. Boy, this is getting confusing.
When a train gets to a 'destination' train yard, a metro yard, it then eventually gets broken up into possibly other 'trains', where it might even be moved farther down the rails to another 'yard'. Eventually, those same vehicles are UNLOADED at a train yard, which then holds them until drivers move them to another yard, for loading onto your 'local' transport trailer, where, again, we wait on a transport DRIVER to be assigned, to arrive, and to eventually drive the trailer full of vehicles to our Dealer. That MIGHT be a full load to your dealer, or it might be even a partial load to your dealer, but probably NOT a single vehicle.
Who knows, it's really hard to find all the details of the full logistics of how this works, but coming from some experience in transporting motorhomes from N Indiana factories and transport lots to dealers all over, I can imagine it's not a 'simple' task. It ALWAYS takes longer than we all think.
in any one of these scenarios, a 'twin' vehicle might wind up in a neighboring lot, while the other gets on a rail or trailer almost immediately...crazy.
