I want my build date!

[DocGT]

Another week down and another phone call to Ford Performance. I placed my order the very first week that the banks opened for ordering. I have a Shadow Black base, technology package and carbon fiber dash. I have no VIN but have a confirmed DORA. It is still "Unscheduled - Material Hold". What "material" is holding this up? My dealer got 2 allocations and the other one was a CFTP that is scheduled for the week of 7/29. I know the guy getting the other allocation and I'm shocked that mine wasn't pulled as well. What kind of random shot in the dark process is Ford using to select the builds? So frustrating and the lack of transparency is reflective of poor leadership. You are making 5000 of these. Just give the true fans and loyalists a bit more information and we will fly the Blue Oval flag all day.

I think the idea is they pick one here and there and over there.
Not 2 or 3 in the same town if you know what I mean.

That matches what my dealer told me about them not wanting to flood areas all at once.

Doc, ford uses JIT delivery for manufactering, meaning they dont keep massive amounts of inventory. Parts coming in more or less match the speed at which they use them. Their ERP system says "material hold" because they are actually missing the material on hand, however even if they had the material they STILL wouldn't build because their plant is at econonic capacity.

Great info. Thank you.

Can’t wait to move to actually having a build date.

Same story. I don't have VIN and build date too. I look forward to hearing good news from Ford.

Hey doc, I am in the same situation as you. I ordered mine and haven’t heard anything. I’m sure I’m just being impatient. When was it you ordered yours?

Not sure if you ordered your car with the CFTP option but in any event it is my understanding that each Canadian SVT/FP dealership will have their 2 CFTP allocations built starting sometime next March.

If you didn't select the CFTP option then suggest that you may still have a chance for a 2019 calendar year build.

Good luck whatever the case!!!

Mine wasn’t cftp so that gives me hope for this year. Hopefully before the snow flys!

Don’t worry man I’m literally in the same situation very frustrating unfortunately.

From what I was told Ford is only building these in September and October this year and then starting up again in January. They will pick and choose from different geographical locations which ones they will build. Now this could all be BS, but with the number of us who ordered and do not have a build date, I am leaning towards it being fact.
