July Segmentation

[Eremyjay]

Any one here that has a Segmentation month of July has checked for updates this week as the plant has reopened this Monday? As I am curious if they pushed back or commenced it.

I checked with my dealer on Tuesday but nothing had changed on Vista.

Mine was July 30 until late June then got bumped to Sep 16 presumably because of the shutdown.

My DH segmentation was July with ETA 26 Oct, now bumped to 21 August an 23 Nov.
Hopefully I will get a build date soon.

Blue Ember 10 S Auto. My 1970 Mustang is a manual and a pain in stop start traffic.
I'm an older guy and what I have found with manual cars is you tend to rev them out a bit in the gears and it's too easy to exceed the speed limit. I'm a bit of a rev head. With an auto just tickle the throttle and it easy to not get too carried away. It's also faster accelerating when you need it.
I posted earlier about my segmentation/ETA dates and noticed a few threads from a couple of members who are not getting any coms from their dealer regarding Vin's and segmentation dates etc. My understanding, after talking with my dealer is that Ford issues an update each Thursday night late when there is a change in production dates and issue a new Vista screenshot to the dealer with the details we all need to maintain our sanity.
My last one is dated 17 June with the dates I previously advised. There have been none since because the Flat Rock plant didn't produce any Mustangs for almost 6 weeks because of closure, resuming 5th August. There should be some news shortly now FR are back producing our Mustangs.

I agree, I took a 6speed demo GT out last Saturday around Eastern suburbs of SYD and it was not fun but once I got onto M1 & M5 it was a blast!.

Yes, I been exchanging conversations with a Plant worker but he can not do much on his end when I asked about the closure he responded they were told airbags and limitation availability on parts but he suspect some of the downtime has to do with that as well as clutch issues causing fires.

I agree with the open road blast with a manual car. I love to take my 70 out when it's not busy on the highway (I took it out this week) pull over and when there is a gap in the traffic rev it out through the gears. The only problem is by 110 kmph in second I am already at the legal speed limit. But it is enjoyable. Has a big cam.
Just to clarify my earlier statement about receiving an update from the dealership they didn't contact me, actually the reverse applied. I waited until I assumed FR plant was back in production. Then a few days past the August 5 date contacted the Sales Mgr. for an updated Vista screenshot. I could have contacted him on the 22 nd June and I would have got the same info but by then I decided to wait patiently until FRP was up and running again. Unfortunately, it's a bit one sided when it comes to obtaining updates. I'm hopeful the 21 August segmentation date will not now be extended.
It's amazing how patient most of the forum members have been waiting on new Mustangs. My deposit was paid in July 22, 2022 and from reading members threads many made deposits well before the release date in the US. A fortunate few have cars here now (maybe not released to them yet) or have been built but in a US holding yard or have been shipped yet to arrive.

Hi Bossburton and Eremyjay. I also have a Blue Ember 10 S Auto standard seats coming ?????
Original order & Dep paid Sept 2022. Many dates since but Delv now stands at 30 Nov. no other info.

I am not far from you at Fern Bay & often at my Son's at Bundabah

Have you asked your dealer for a Vista Screenshot. It has a lot of info including your Vin number. The last four letters of my Vin are 1178.
We will have to catch up.
Are you a member of the Mustang Club of Australia, There is a Newcastle Chapter and we meet bi-monthly, next one tomorrow night. I had a call from a Mustang owner in Bundabah a few minutes ago. He might know your son.

Yes! Dealer sent me a Vista copy in March, I have asked several times for latest to no avail.
I don't want to get too demanding at this stage, I've waited this long.
I have sold my Mach1 but I still have my low milage 2009 FG FPV GT and our every day driver but I only have space for 3. I will join the Mustang Club when the Dark Horse is confirmed on a ship.
My son Darin (electrician) is at The Point (waterfront) Bundabah.
We also have inlaws at The Grange, Tea Gardens. Small world.
Would like to meet up some time.

 

[Bossburton]

Thanks we will keep in touch.
