We should find out....very soon.....

[JohnP]

There has been a great deal of speculation about the timing of the new 2024 Mustang delivery to dealerships. Many are concerned that there are real 'quality issues' that have created delays. Others believe that 'supply chain' issues caused delays (because Ford has sent actual emails claiming this is the case). Some think that the 'delays' are simply associated with their scheduled and predetermined marketing/promo plans.

Well, we should now find out this week or next. The drip marketing campaign of EcoBoost, GT and Dark Horse is now complete. The online video reviews from the self-proclaimed experts have now flooded social media. The world has been teased, teased and teased again.

So, is Ford actually ready to start shipping cars to dealerships and start turning sales? Or are they really plagued with 'issues' that will cause real delays in local deliveries/sales?

Man, I'm hoping this was nothing more than marketing hype.

We'll find out when we find out.

This same thing happened when I was waiting for my Bronco Raptor. After I had the confirmed build it sat in a massive lot for close to 60 days before being released for shipping. They said at the time it was for QC, while others speculated it was for updated parts. When the shipping started they started leaving the plants storage lots pretty quickly. From the looks of it, the Mustang might be in the same situation.

I was using the Ford Performance Chat this morning, and perhaps our Mustangs will be loaded and transported very soon. Take a look...

I want to believe….

Our understanding is the OKTB is today but I haven’t found a second source yet

I just connected using Ford Chat this morning. I ordered the car 5/24/23. GT Premium Convertible. Current car status shows "In Production" 7/24/23. I was just told that it has been produced and now has an ETA for delivery 8/1-8/7.

If that proves true, then this 'delay' seems to be tied to their marketing strategy/schedule vs. production limitations or quality issues. Now they may have some parts shortages (like NP). But I'm hoping this is accurate. That would be a very good sign for all of us with outstanding orders.

Now, I really have to exercise personal patience. Because this was my original order and the dealer screwed it up. They left off AVE and I decided not to live without it. So, my actual car isn't scheduled for production until 9/14/23. But I'd be quite happy to see Ford delivering these cars this week and next. That would give me hope that I'll be into mine by October. Hate that delay but it should be worth waiting for.

BTW if you are interested in the original GT Premium Convertible that I ordered (Vapor Blue, Space Gray, 401A, Performance PKG, Grabber Blue brakes, etc.) WITHOUT AVE, I know where you can pick it up.

Not to sound stupid, but what does OKTB stand for?

Now if it were atlas blue instead and manual, I would have taken you up on this

And the speculation continues with full authority. Ford just has to love the rumor mill we create all by ourselves. Ford keeps quiet (against our wishes) and watches us make up stories to calm ourselves.

For the record, someone will eventually be right in all this speculation. Still won't mean they had a clue.

8/4 is the day. Believe me or not, idrgaf. Not providing anymore info

 

[marcekb]

7/17 - 7/27 ETA from the dealer. Expecting it in on the 24th

Hearing/seeing the same <July 14 is the day>

That or 7/24 when the embargo is up

don't worry what folks here have to say. I've been real quiet on this but I tried to tell people OKTB was already achieved. Nobody listened or maybe few did and I got flack for that like Ford needed to pull out a front page news article to announce it soon as they got it, which they don't. I heard from my main source this morning that VERY VERY soon produced cars will be released.

It’ll be like Tuesday/Wednesday when they release em is what it seems to be shaping up as. Monday would be a pleasant surprise

8/4 is the day. Believe me or not, idrgaf. Not providing anymore info

I mean, if you don't want to explain why you aren't just taking another guess... Like I said, someone will eventually be right. Because even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.
