I think it depends on how long your order sits in limbo before it's pulled by Ford.

In my case, it was exactly two months: I ordered the car on 12/20/19 and received my VIN (and projected build date) on 2/20/20.

A little over 2 weeks for me. The big differentiators is the dealer's allocation allotment and the priority (mine was 10) they place on it. If they have allocation and give it a high priority, you should get a vin 2-3 weeks. If they don't have allocation, it could take months. When you ordered your car you should have recieved a DORA which is just a print out of the form the dealer uses to submit to Ford. It will have all the details of the car you ordered (color, options etc) including the priority. If you dealer is honest, they will tell you if they have allocation or not.

Mine has priority 99, i.e. lowest possible. :frown:
The dealer says he has no idea what it means, or how it's assigned. To place an order, he just types the details in a web form and hopes for the best. The priority is assigned automatically, and he can't change it.

I had my vin in 20 days, but only because I was in the dealer and asked for an update - maybe they actually had it earlier, who knows ... ?

I believe mine is a 19.

The only priority I've seen is from the DORA (dated 5/29). It's a 10.

FWIW - Ford Performance told me this morning that the build week is 6/15. We'll see...
