Yikes. I was trying to prepare myself for October after initially hoping for September...guess I'll start thinking about Thanksgiving. :frusty:

I understand that.
Still nice to have an estimate.

It is nice, and the estimates are usually pretty accurate as far as production goes. Every cycle someone will rant about this or that not working, like 2016s not showing up on COTUS when 2015s haven't completed Job Last yet.

I think your original prep will be fairly accurate ;) You'll see things happen very quickly come September.

Thanks Dave. I realize that these times are only estimates. I have plenty of patience and am willing to wait for a while. I just hope that the car comes out without any quality control issues.

I think we're going to start seeing window stickers before anything shows in COTUS.
We're 2 weeks from production, COTUS still doesn't recognize my VIN, website still shows 2015, ...

I'm gonna mosey across the street to the ford dealer at lunch today, see if they have any 2016 fiestas or escapes to play with sync3 on.
And just hang out in a 2015 for a while, since I haven't done that since ordering.

I would be curious to know what you think of it. I've been wondering if anyone has actually used the Sync 3 in another vehicle.

I want to throw a word of caution on your dates. They are only estimates. Job 1 is 3 August, the first few blends will go through a heavy QC process to make sure everything is working well. Job last is the 27th or when the last 2015 is built (yeah, it can slip if something happens to slow the line) Almost everything is the same, but quality still has to be checked before OKTB and retail orders start. The other snafu can be the shipper, which Ford does not control directly. Some are great and a few, well they may take 2 weeks or more once Ford gives them the car to get it delivered.

Your sticker is available on the day your blend is loaded at FRAP(sent from scheduling to the factory), this is typically the Thursday afternoon or Friday before your production week. You can get your blend production date about a week out. build/to/day or the production date can't be set until the pieces to build your car are on site and received(verified). This is done to prevent production line stoppage, because your wheel, seat style or whatever did not show up, was damaged in transit or failed QC...it happens sometimes

I'm putting this out there because some folks will get mad and blame Ford or who ever is closest because their car did not arrive on the date they thought. It happens with every model and model year.

Ford wants to get you a Mustang faster than a GT-350R-C on race day. But they don't want you to get something crappy either. Patience is the word! MC

I don't suppose you would have any pics from the production line this week MC? Rumour has it there should be a few RHD's going down the line with those 2916's.

I would love some pics as well. Mine was built yesterday so it is currently undergoing all the QC checks.

 

[ZIGZGT]

Mine is built in 6 days. C'mon already!!!

My RHD was supposed to be built on 3rd, with gate release on 5th. It's status is still segmentation... whatever that means.
I have my window sticker but cotus doesn't recognise my VIN & Etis still shows the 30.11.0002 build date.

 

[ilkhan]

FordService says stock order cars will never show in COTUS, so that explains why none of us can see our cars.
Oops.

Mine shows a build date of 03.08.2015 on etis. It seems odd that mine would update but yours hasn't?

It has now, Etis says 04.08.2015. Hasn't been built though
