Good news! After a few days of having my EDD pushed back a month to Dec. 18, I checked late last night and it has moved back to Nov 22. It was originally Nov. 20 before it got pushed back.
I received a much more vague response from Ford after my EDD got pushed back a month yesterday, a few days after it completed production:
I'm only a six hour drive from the factory...I really wish Ford would just allow us to pick up the vehicles from the factory. It makes no sense that it...
Also, once the vehicle has been produced and is awaiting shipment, how could option packages, special powertrain combinations, or delivery delays of components be at all relevant?
I'm no supply chain expert, but that reason makes no sense to me. Why would Ford BUILD a car, and then hold it on its factory lot because the dealer doesn't have an allocation. If that's truly the reason, then you would think Ford would delay actually building the vehicle until the dealer has...
Original EDD of 11/12
Blend Date of 11/01
EDD then pushed back to 11/20
Production completed 11/03
Now as of today EDD has been pushed back to 12/18
EcoBoost Premium, M/T, with 20" wheels as the only option
Same here. Mine shows up has being built November 3 and as of yesterday it was awaiting shipment with an EDD of November 20. Woke up this morning and it was pushed back to an EDD of December 18. I'm only one state away from the plant, too.
About the only appearance mod I've seen that looks good is the color-match trunklid between the taillights (like the Gibson S550). I wish Ford would allow that as an option or put it standard on the Premium models rather than have the unpainted black plastic.
why would anyone want to make the S550 look like a Honda Element by putting unpainted plastic fenders on it??
Also, way too much going on in the back of that defenderworx model with the round logo and Mustang between the taillights. Why not throw a few pony and GT logos back there as well...
I started production 10/25 (per COTUS) and am still in production as of today per COTUS. My dealer also said today that my order is "bucked" meaning that all the parts needed to complete the vehicle are on hand. Seems pretty slow for production...is Ford falling behind?
My dealer agreed to swap the summer tires off my 20" wheels in exchange for all-season tires and thought they could do an even exchange, plus a mounting and balancing fee. It was just something I negotiated with them.
