Build Week 3/9/15

[Stig]

I'm with you guys. I would pay the destination charges just to pick the car up myself from the factory. It would be great to fly in, pick it up and use the drive home to break it in.

Im not understanding their shipping process, they re just sitting on certain cars for days while I see other peoples cars are getting shipped left and right which were built after ours.

It is the Same story for me, my GT is just sitting there for almost a week now!
I know they need to fill up the train car before it is worth it for a 'shipment, but seriously they can't can't fill a train car headed to California! Car capitol of the world. I did ask my dealer if I could pay to have my car trucked from the factory to my dealer. I was told they could not unless I owned the car. I said we have the VIN # I will pay for the car now. He said they can't sell the car until it is at the dealer! I feel like I am going in circles.

Well thats not true. I went in and paid for my car 10 days before EDD. the dealer told me once they have the VIN i can make the buy. So I did. the EDD has come and gone with a new EDD of 4/6. It sucks more waiting on a car at the factory that has already been paid for!

Maybe it a State law, I know California is a horrible state for business. I am dealing with the biggest Ford dealer in US. And I have bought many cars from them over the last 20+ years.

Mine is still in production according to Cotus, and the EDD of 3/28 has not moved. The dealer has said it is typically 8 days to OKC. With that in mind, I am beginning to wonder about the 3/28 EDD.

Agreed. COTUS is sticking to its guns that it'll be here in 16 days. About a week ago, COTUS took 2 days off my EDD. Was super happy until its sat without being shipped for over a week now.:doh:

 

[JDINOK]

Mine switched to awaiting shipping when I checked Cotus this morning.

EDD is 3/26 and it is still awaiting shipment. Hopefully since Atlanta is such a big train hub, it won't push past that date...

I know! Surely the guy who updates the info in COTUS accidentally forgot to mark all of ours as IN TRANSIT, and all of our cars are going to arrive at our dealerships today!:lol:

My EDD slipped a day(2nd time this week) to 4-1 Has been "in transit" this entire week.

 

[DeepImpactGTny]

Yep still sitting in "Awaiting shipment", but my EDD has slipped so much that at this rate it might actually be accurate, and when it slips its not a just a day, 3/24 -> 4/1 -> 4/11

Ooo...now my COTUS says "No matching vehicle found. Please verify your input and try again"

Hopefully that means they are updating it

COTUS goes down from time to time and no one seems to be able to access it. I've seen that message a few times myself. Sorry to burst your bubble

Yeah and I don't think there are people who actually go and update individual Mustangs in COTUS. Its probably tied to a separate system which gets updated automatically during various stages of production.

I've been seeing a couple '15 Mustangs driving around today. Really doesn't help me be any less impatient haha.
