Delivery starts tomorrow!! (says Ford Chat)

[DRP Motorsports]

Talked with both Ford Chat and my dealer today. They say my car is built, although the tracker still says in production. Estimated arrival date is 7-20 on their computers, but obviously that does not mean anything.

The day your tracker gets updated to "Built" is the day when you can prepare for shipping. Other than that, it's all speculations.

Agreed! Honestly I don't have much hopes to see the car until late August at the earliest.

Same here. I don't want to fall to Ford stressful waiting games.

Ok guys. I have some more info about the "Ok to buy' drama. I just talked with another dealership guy who used to know a Ford's Engineer (Engineer now retried). He said it's not about an estimate or a decision or an event. It's about quality. He said they will not release the "ok to buy" statement until they have only less than 3 problems after the quality check. So they'll keep building and keep producing and keep parking cars till they get to this point. And since they're taking "Quality" seriously this time, it might take till August or September or maybe October.

So, all the cars they’re parking have more than three defects that need to be brought back in for a fix? Doesn’t make sense.

so mine hasn't changed to "built" however it has a date of 10 July under "in production" my window sticker had its blend date as 22 June and, from what ive read in other Ford forums, the 10 July date is the day its actually done production, however it wont show as built until is moved to be staged for shipping.

Pffft, some of us have dates of 6/12.

No, quality check is everyday several vehicles are pulled off the line and completely taken apart/disassembled and examined.

Any way, we shouldn't discuss the shipping thing any more till the tracker is updated to "Built". Because as of now I think we're all still in "production" category.

Any of you got updated to "Built" yet ?

Chat told me that it wouldnt show built until they actually shipped it. It's why my dealer said just call them or refer to chat as the tracker...doesn't track

I think Ford meets daily to determine “ what are we going to tell these folks today”. i would really prefer If they just say, “we have no clue”.

Same! The other day...i had someone on chat gaslight me

They said the secondary status of "produced" meant a "future" status....so i asked them why did the other 10 or chat plus dealer say it was built then .

The chat rep actually pulled out a PARTIAL transcript of my last communication...like yeah, use the first part of the conversation that doesnt even mention secondary status as "proof" .

I just got a text from my Salesman saying they’re expecting my car to be delivered on July 23rd.

If you want to know if your sales man is that confident, tell him you'll buy him a $25 Starbucks gift card if he's right...but he needs to buy you one if he's wrong. Tell him that, and then let's see if he sticks to what he told you
