Delivery starts tomorrow!! (says Ford Chat)

[MagneticMartian]

For any fellow Canadians in the group, how did you get your VIN for your order?

I ordered a DH on March 6 this year and still don't have a VIN, let alone any dates. I've reached out to the chat on ford.ca and they just keep telling me that my order is in an "order processing" state. I would think after 4 months since ordering, though, Ford would at least have assigned a VIN to my order.

Does the US chat on ford.com have visibility into any different information? My dealer has told me they don't have anything either, and to contact them again "...in the fall."

I know I'm impatient given the inventory & production issues this year, but I just want my car. Lol.

I'm also from Canada but I would guess the reason your dealer doesn't have a VIN is because they don't have a dark horse allocation for you yet, otherwise they would have gotten it by now so since dark horse allocations are limited it's probably taking a while. Usually once you get an allocation and a build date is when you get a VIN.

Yea, I noticed that. Mine actually alternates between the actual build and some other generic build a couple times throughout the day every day.

Mine showed the correct car once, but hasn't again since.

Guys. I was doing something close to Flat Rock yesterday. So I passed by and I saw a spot full of a 2024 Mustangs. Most likely some of the ones we saw in the drone video. So while I was taking pictures behind the Fence, a ford employee ( not a security guy) approached me and asked me what I'm doing. So I told him I already ordered the 2024 Mustang, and that I was just looking at the parked ones...wondering why they're not shipped yet. We had a friendly conversation and I asked him about the shipping thing and all that. Things were going ok...But then all of the sudden, he took a picture of my car's license plate and left. So should I worry about any legal consequences here...or he was just trying to scare me off ?

Not a lawyer, but no, there's nothing illegal in what you described, including him taking a picture too. He probably just wanted to have something in case of theft or other problems. Nothing to worry about.

HAHAHA. Adeel only cares about his incoming car at this point . Well, what I understood from him is that the cars are ready to go, and from now on, it's all about logistics and PR. And that's why I was surprised when he took the picture. We were having a deep professional conversation, then he suddenly snapped and took his shot

100 effing percent lol you were probably in the same spot I was, a woman pulled up in an f150 maybe 2min after I snapped the photo and asked if I worked there lol but just told her we were leaving but she didn’t seem worried not sure if she took a pic of my plate or not actually my friends plate so can’t come back to me

If they would just ship the cars out instead of having them sit there and worrying about theft. I'm starting to think that these cars are not completed and maybe need chips of some sort.

Well apparently Canadian orders have been shipped out and the rumor is that US orders have started shipping out by very slowly but “early summer” was bs

I don't think anything got shipped yet. They usually launch a marketing campaign first. They're very quiet lately.

I believe it was earlier this thread or maybe another one but a member in Canada got a shipped receipt from his dealer and was told a lot of cars were shipped

When i spoke to my dealer rep this past wednesday said that they had started shipping them. And that he was waiting on an updated eta. So, I am hoping to hear something this upcoming week. He sent this to me via text.

We'll see. The next 2 weeks will be crucial. I'll blame last week's lack of information on 4th of July holiday. Things will get clearer starting this incoming week.
