  1. 2025 Mustang Job 1 Production Starts 11/4/24, Scheduling Begins 9/19/24

    We've still got this month, September, maybe a bit of October. I'd reach back to the dealer, see if they can confirm the order is paired with an allocation, discuss the what-ifs. Towards the start of last Fall, Ford sent out a message when they cancelled the remaining, unbuilt DH HP orders for...
  2. 2025 Mustang Job 1 Production Starts 11/4/24, Scheduling Begins 9/19/24

    I can't say how far ahead Ford would commit to a build/schedule, but yes, I would not expect the car to be completed and readied for shipment until March/April of '25. The following is an extreme example, but it highlights what Ford is trying to avoid...
  3. 2025 Mustang Job 1 Production Starts 11/4/24, Scheduling Begins 9/19/24

    That is correct. Generally, from as soon as October. I've. seen HP-like cars arrive in Owner's hands as quickly as April (previous MYs) the following year. It's the Summer tires, Ford wanting to prevent any damage due to cold temps.
  4. S650 MY2025 VIN

  5. Oil change and Oil Life Remaining in FordPass

    In the car, check the OLM via the menus (it'll differ from the S550 to S650); see if the dealer reset that, after the oil change was completed. Unless you drove a heap of miles or went tracking shortly thereafter, it should decrement about 2%+ a week. Regarding the Ford Pass App, down-swipe on...
  6. Do Mustang owners wave at each other in the US?

    In this example, it's healthy to have a genuine concern of the effects. Those that do have accidents don't think far enough ahead to imagine what happens when gunning the throttle while in gear. Unexpected power, cold tires, drivers overreacting to loud noises or quick movements. It often ends...
  7. Why is PP same cost for vert as coupe?

    This thread reminded me of one discussed before. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/rear-spoiler-for-convertible.159990/ Practicality: there might be some brake light mounting issues. Performance: it's very easy to disrupt airflow across any surface, in this case, causing it to...
  8. Do Mustang owners wave at each other in the US?

    I make an effort to acknowledge the other Mustang in some way (high-beam blip, thumb up or wave). But I have learned the generation of car, type of driver or driver age can make a difference. Early Mustangs, 1960s-70s, yes. We always let the other know we're there. It's just a thing we do...
  9. Ford Tricked Me!! I was all excited and then realized it was a cosmetic change

    I accept the following comment can be a lot of my perception, but it seems like Ford has been struggling with DH production, almost from the start of MY24. Not to imply there's something wrong from a quality or engineering perspective, just something has seemed to be off in overall production. A...
  10. Ford Tricked Me!! I was all excited and then realized it was a cosmetic change

    Ya, Ford's trackers can often be considered a "suggestion". :giggle:. They're pretty accurate. :crazy:Good to see first week of August. :clap:I've seen that date several times in other posts.
  11. Advice needed: Long Distance Trip with Handling Pack tires

    Congrats on sealing the deal. :clap:Given my experience, I'd swap the tires out as part of the trip. The four Trofeos might, might fit, with two in the trunk, two in the back seats. Off the rim, they'll be easier to maneuver. My '22 came equipped with a similar tire, the Michelin Cup 2...
  12. Dark Horse and Ford FAIL

    I prefer checking when hot, as that is the condition by which the engine operates. The manual does state engine oil can be checked hot or cold.
  13. Dark Horse and Ford FAIL

    I think it's a good idea to be aware of these issues; most are state-specific. But right now, it's putting the cart before the horse. The car is in the process of being recovered to the dealer, so they can inspect and confirm what happened. Everyone is going to be different as to how they...
  14. Magneride retrofit install?

    Someone :question:might be able to accomplish that, but it wouldn't be cost-effective to do so. It's akin to changing from a manual to an automatic transmission in the same car. Further, if that vehicle was to later be sold or traded, it's value would be reduced further still, by how much I...
  15. Dark Horse and Ford FAIL

    @Ford Motor Company is the chatbot tag. Someone could chime in as soon as today. You can also message that user directly. Sorry to read of what happened. I can think of 1,000 reasons why it occurred, none of which could be proven. It reads the damage could be severe (low oil, misfire, wrench...
  16. Did anyone get a pic of their car being built?

    I did. See attached. While a '22, I'm guessing the format for the '24 is not much different. I asked them to gather anything the vehicle arrived with (documents, seat bags, etc.) and throw it in the trunk. Edit, What you can still do is get a Marti Report. The reports are often not available...
  17. First S650 2024 Ford Mustang Diecast! 1/18 Dark Horse in Carbonized Gray

    Most die cast models are made in Asia. Occasionally, actual prototypes will become available on eBay. These units are used to calibrate the machinery before a production run of in-store models. For those looking for something different, not in stores or unusual, these can be cool finds. Several...
  18. Delta Cloudstrike nightmare turns into Mustang Cannonball Run

    Ya, Delta has really taken it in the shorts 😳with this one. I hate traveling by commercial means. Crowds (no pun intended), disrespectful people :curse:, dirty planes :ontheloo:, etc. Even when working as-expected, the slightest disruption can often derail (pun intended) :giggle:the entire...
  19. Did anyone get a pic of their car being built?

    I always thought it'd be cool to include something like that with a welcome or owner kit. :thumbsup: Otherwise, ya, unless it's a random photo someone posted on-line (at the risk of receiving whatever consequences that might bring) a photo/history link is not in the cards. :crying: Something...
  20. Ford Tracking order system is out to lunch

    A few more things I thought worth mentioning: - Disable all ad blockers; they're often on by default - Try a different computer or browser. For example, if it doesn't work using a cell phone, try a PC or Mac with Google Chrome or another well-known browser
