COTUS is just showing when I ordered mine only with no build date or estimated delivery date. I know my build date got pushed back from 12/12 to 12/14. I assume COTUS isn't showing any of it though due to my car being flagged for the FCPA process.

Interesting...
Has anyone used Cotus and have a completely different car show up? After continuous checking to see if my 2018 build was finally on cotus, it finally showed up as in-order processing... but as a Ford Expedition!
Im looking at my actual invoice from the dealer and it does say for the 2018 Shelby Mustang, but Cotus is saying otherwise...
Anyone experience this ?

Oh wow really? I wouldn't even think that was possible to do! That seems like a stupid setup... Even when I put my last name in it still comes up with the expedition... why their car and not mine! hahaha
How quickly does it take to get a VIN I wonder... My dealer told me he would update me...but you know how that works....

If I order a car in the future I'll make a point to ask them to use a unique order number. Good advice for anyone ordering.
It seems like COTUS has tried to work around it by having you enter the customer last name but it seems like it really doesn't use that field in the lookup. You can enter whatever you want. A better approach would be to list the vehicles on that order and let the user select the correct one.
It feels like they got COTUS mostly finished and then lost interest in working out the usability problems.

I see people here that ordered in July/August, but are yet to receive their cars. I suppose it might be because production wasn't ramped up yet when you ordered.
If someone were to order a car today (gt convertible auto), roughly how long the wait time is expected to be? A couple of months or is it longer?

yeah, it's taking forever. and about the time, generally when I ask a dealership they quote 12-16 weeks, so I think that's what you should expect if you are ordering now.

When my dealer sent me my DORA (1 week after I ordered) he included the summary page of the order which had 5 unique Mustangs within it, they each had their VINs listed so I could check my exact car with that, and snoop on the other orders. The order number for mine (r100) didn't show any results. The VIN seems to be the only accurate way to check it.
This is that summary page:

I know for the Shelbyās there was a production hold... and my dealer told me it came up as āmaterial holdā under his tracking system. It looks as though things are restarting other builds... iām not positive but I think there may have been a hold on all mustangs produced so that they can clear inventory of 2017ās

I don't think there's a hold on the Mustangs, people are taking delivery all over the country and there are multiple instances the date has been moved up. As for the shelby, I'm not sure what's causing the wait, my dealership has one waiting for shipment for like 2 months now...

Someone on another thread just placed an order and the delivery estimate his dealer gave him was March-April 2018
As others have said production didnāt start until October, due to forced two week shutdown by Ford, and ok to buy a few weeks after that. It all depends on the type of features, your location, and whether you ordered stock or retail. (Also what is your priority code, 10 being the highest priority and fastest shipment. I placed my order 8/4/2017 and others have received theirs before me that ordered in October.

The priority code doesn't matter when comparing against different dealerships, it only matters in the same dealership.
