Thank you! Definitely going to take some today before I bring it home. Now if only we could get in plus digit temperatures and lose the snow lol
The window sticker shows up just about the time the car starts on the production line, ~1 month before your estimated delivery date.
In special circumstances like these where builds are in limbo, the online tracker is useless!! People needing information have nothing now, my status updates have come from the posts by Zooks527 who has been super helpful (seriously).Here is mine. Going on three weeks like this! And as others have said, it now counts up.
Order Date: Oct. 4.
Blend Date: Jan 22.
Original Delivery Date on Tracker: Feb. 14.
Some of us on here are waiting on wheels, there is another thread specifically about this issue. If I could find another Mustang around here to buy without sacrificing too many “wants” I would cancel my order that I placed in October 2018. Right now I am having fun telling people that my new car was built without a steering wheel and it appears to be “lost in the shuffle” at the Flat Rock plant. The looks on their faces lolFor everyone waiting you have to check out this article in the Detroit local paper. My order was placed last August and no foreseeable date. No one I talk to at Ford seems aware of this from what they say. This shed light on the delays, mind you it took almost 6 months to get to production... I've since cancelled my order and awaiting delivery of a Bullitt in the next hour! They had one tucked away at a local dealer.

Good luck. I understand how painful the wait is!!!
Hell yeah. My wife is into doing this as well, apparently astounding our mechanic when she was in his shop last week for a repair.
I can’t imagine how they will be able to spare any time or workers to fix the cars that were built without steering wheels. In my opinion it really would have been much better just to wait another couple weeks and do it right for everyone, avoiding this mess completely. Those cars without steering wheels are now in a bad bad place which I equate to as a Dead Letter Office, they may or may not ever see the light of day.
From a "moving the product efficiently through the system" standpoint, absolutely. My guess is that since the UAW contract specifies that the workers get 80% pay for sitting home in the event of unscheduled plant shutdowns, after 3 weeks of that someone decided to have them doing something, even if it was just to build a backlog of things that needed fixing.
