Can anyone interpret this from my dealer?

[Instant Action]

Ford's tracker has just showed that my car has been in production since 10/9 but hasn't moved since. I decided to text my dealer this morning and this is what he sent to me. This seems kind of ambiguous to me but maybe someone can interpret this?

Woo-Hoo! Thanks, that's best news I've had all month. Now I just hope it doesn't get stuck sitting there for weeks/months like some have.

I'm curious, what was your blend date? Mine was 10/10 but a similar screenshot I got from my dealer shows that it got to the trim line on 10/12 and is still sitting there. My last update on the Ford tracker still shows a date of 9/29 with a generic status of "in production" with no date next to the status box.

Edit: Never mind. I spoke with a manager on Monday who said mine was still in the first phase of production but apparently never bothered to check this tracker again. Mine was apparently moved to ramp 51 2 days after yours. Good news for me as well!

I never got a window sticker. Is this normal for a car that is through production and waiting a the ramp?

My car went to ramp 51 on the same date. No update since then. I hope they get their act together and get it shipped soon...

Speaking of ramp 51, does anyone know if this is where new cars go to rot, or is it a que for getting loaded onto rail cars for shipment? Or something else?

My big question is whether the truckers will pickup the cars from FR during the strike at the other Ford plants?

Hoping ramp 51 doesn't turn into ramp 59. I haven't heard anything specific about ramp 51 but there are a bunch of people that have had their cars sit forever at ramp 59.

At the bottom of the sheet my dealer sent me this morning, it shows New Boston with final destination of Birmingham. I'm wondering if its already been picked up by the shipper and if so, I sure hope it doesn't make it to Birmingham before November 15th because that is when my X-plan number kicks in.

I was all about hurry up and now I want it to slow down!

LOL! I don't know any more than you do, honestly, but mine shows San Antonio where yours says Birmingham. I live an hour and a half from San Antonio, so who really knows when we will actually get them. FWIW, my interpretation of the chart is that the 0 outside the box with the other 4 updates means that Birmingham won't show up as an actual status until the car is off-loaded and checked in for truck shipment the rest of the way.

For all we know, all of our cars could already be on a train heading to the next destination, or they could all be sitting on the ramp. I haven't seen anyone on other posts that has been able to definitively say. Ford chat still says my car is in build, blah, blah, blah.

Good luck with the timing on the X-plan. I have also heard but can't vouch for the authenticity, that the dealer can hold a vehicle for a certain amount of time for you. Maybe make up some type of excuse as to why you can't be there to pick it up right away.

My car is still in production also according to the tracker. Ford chat and my salesman said it's been built 10/20 just waiting at the factory ‍. And I received an eta from chat but I know not to trust it. 11/6-11/12. My dealer even said they would just get it from the rail yard like they have in the past if it ever gets released there.
