Thanks! I'm waiting on a 2017.

Oh really..

It's currently working for mine. Downloaded the window sticker off of it as well.

Be sure you are using this address:

That's neat. Supposedly they were abandoning it but glad to see maybe they're doing more work on integrating more Fords into it.

What is the qa link? Worked for me though, thanks!

Can anyone confirm that it's a glitch on the cotus site when the car that has stripes, is listed as less stripes? I remember seeing that somewhere.

ETIS is going to be the most accurate for that AFAIK, http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do

"Quality Assurance" site. Generally, QA environments are for testing and validation and aren't supported like a production environment would be.

And if you look down at the bottom of the image it will say it's just a graphical representation and not the actual build.

Works just fine for me too, only problem with COTUS is that i find myself checking my car's status 5 times a day. :headbonk:

Don't see any specifics on the Vehicle summary, maybe it needs more time? I do see a weird build date though 30.11.0002

That must be nerve wracking with your ETA being late almost 2 weeks now. :doh:

It WAS, looks like things are finally starting to move as the latest update says car has been put back in shipping mode and is awaiting to be picked up by shipper.

Several folks have reported this problem. My car, in process now, also incorrectly shows no stripes. However, my WS clearly shows the stripes. There is some sort of glitch on the site. My sales guy said if the WS is right, that's what matters (not what is shown on this site) FWIW

Thanks info guys, seems like it's hard to know for sure...
The priority number on my sheet says 15, anyone know what that means?

Also, is a vehicle order confirmation sheet the same as a DORA?

Vehicle Order Confirmation (VOC) is what the dealer sees on the computer screen when they are inputting an order. A Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement (DORA) is generated by Ford the day after an order is submitted by a dealer and serves as an acknowledgement that Ford received the order from the dealer. A DORA does not guarantee that Ford will build an order, only that they received the order from the dealership, by the way.

The Priority Code (PC) will be a number from 10-19 for "retail" orders (orders placed for a specific customer). "Stock" orders will have PC's from 20-80. The PC is how a dealer tells Ford which order to build first, second, third, etc. within a model line. PC 10 will schedule first, PC 11 will schedule second, etc., assuming Ford has all the parts for the order. If parts are not available, Ford will pass over that order and schedule the lowest numbered PC that they have the ability to build within that model line. The Mustang model line includes EcoBoost, V6, GT, and GT350, so PC's for all of those trim levels are competing against each other. At any given time, a dealer might not have 10, 11, 12, etc. in use (maybe those were recently scheduled already), so a 13, 14, 15, etc. PC could be the next ones to schedule in that model line for that particular dealer.

The only way to get a PC lower than 10, by the way, is if the Ford Regional Office intervenes to push the order through faster. Typically, they would push it to PC 01 to make an order schedule next for sure. This is done when there is an upset customer hounding the regional office or on limited production models (i.e. GT350) that stay on "Material Hold" status until manually scheduled by the regional office one car at a time. It's not that there is a hold on any materials, but that Material Hold status is used to keep GT350's from scheduling until it's that dealer turn within the region to have a GT350 allocation scheduled.

Hope that clears up your questions. I've been ordering Fords for 17 years at the dealership I work for.
