22 S550 Tracking Thread

And that’s the usual. If November MY22 scheduling, probably next week.

For those of us with MY22 orders that never got scheduled I’m not sure there will be any November builds based on the Production Schedule released this morning. The last time the MY22 had any scheduling was the week of 8/22 and that was October scheduling. Nothing since.

Very discouraging info today with the 9/19 scheduling week not including MY22.....I called my dealer AGAIN to see if anything had changed in the system on my car (like cancelled or in preview) He said nothing and then was kind of pissy with me saying I had way too much anxiety around the car and he doesn't know how I function worrying about it all of the time. I'm sorry but I have gone for 3 months with no car and I'd like to know the timeline on what will happen next and when I can expect to have a car at all. I am a customer spending a lot of money. WTH..... I think if I have to order a 23 it will be with a different dealer. What started out as fun and exciting has turned into a major anxiety provoking cluster. I hope we all get scheduled this week. Fingers crossed and good vibes to my unscheduled friends!

Woooow. “Doesn’t know how you function worrying all the time?” Seriously?

It’s a wonder their dealership is even able to function with how poorly they treat their (validly) concerned customers! I’m livid for you and definitely would walk away sooner than later; you deserve better and another dealer deserves your business and the opportunity to treat you right. So sorry that’s been your experience!

How reliable is the vehicle order tracker? Mine is set for Production next week but today I refreshed the tracker and it shows "in production". No new email and the window sticker still isn't available. Not sure if I should get excited or just chill. lol

It’s definitely nice to see the progress along the way, but you have just a little bit to go. Mine switched to in production on the tracker on 9/1 even though the blend date was 9/13. When it first switched, I wasn’t able to access the window sticker from the Ford tracker, but the link on order track worked right away which was exciting. From that point I didn’t see any progress for a couple weeks, nothing new showed up, and my blend date came and went. Then on Friday 9/16 the date of 9/16/2022 showed up on the Ford tracker under in production. I also saw the modules pop up on Friday, and today the tear tag showed up. Communication with FP and my dealer, though, revealed that the build was actually completed on Friday 9/16 even though the tracker still hasn’t updated to built. My dealer even thinks it could be delivered within the next week already!

I know someone who just got scheduled for next week, seems like they are just adding them in here and there at the moment

Yup. Cleanup Scheduling. There is no rhyme or reason of who gets selected at our level.

That is totally unprofessional on his part. Hopefully your MY22 will still come through, but if not, your idea about going to another dealer for a MY23 sounds like a viable plan. Just think of how aggravated you would be dealing with them a second time.

It is frustrating enough having to wait for the car of your dreams without adding in snide commentary from a dealer that you are giving money to.

What helps keep me going on the wait is hearing from all the folks here that it is well worth the wait once they take delivery on their car. Sending positive thoughts your way...hang in there.

After seeing your post, I checked mine on the tracker and found that it also updated to "in production". Good to see any degree of progress for sure!

Quick history for folks who use this sort of data to make predictions: my car was ordered on 8/5. On 8/25 I received my scheduling email for the week of 10/10. But on 9/6, they sent a new email and rescheduled it for 9/26.

I checked the tracker today and it has updated to say “in production.” The window sticker is also now available (it wasn’t yesterday).

Blend date is 120220927 — so looks like 9/27 will be her birthday! Mine says “convoy” so I’m curious how the shipping process will go and what the combination of rail + convoy will actually be in the end. I guess we’ll see.

Assuming it’s going to Georgia, it’s probably a combo of rail and truck. More efficient to put it on a train with more vehicles traveling that distance. Exciting times, you’re getting closer!

My vehicle has been built as of 9/13 but has still not been released by the plant for shipping. I’m only 4 hours away from Flat Rock, MI. Anyone in the same situation or know why? My dealer/FP do not have any answers

The tracking system doesn’t always reflect what’s going (aka it kinda sucks). Mine was the same, never moved from built (9/9) and showed up at my dealership on 9/16. If you’re that close don’t be surprised if you get a call out of the blue that your car has arrived and the tracker never changes.

It took 10 days for my vehicle to switch from Built to Shipped.
