Wow! I would never have dreamed that many. Mine is a late order so I thought it would be a long way off, but it may be in production soon. I can't find it on the tracking site. Thanks again for the info.
You're welcome. What is your LE sequence number? Mine is 315.

Unfortunately no LEs are showing on COTUS and mine has a build day of 9/15.

I don't know what my sequence number is or how to find what it is. When I type in the order # & dealer code on the cot us site it says invalid numbers:thumb down:My order wasn't placed until August 12th, so I would think it would be one of the last in sequence.

I'm assuming that's what they were averaging due to supply and demand. However the NatGeo documentary on Mustangs/Flat Rock documents they are capable of churning out 680 Mustangs a day. Those were S197 Mustangs so the number may be slightly different for the S550.

neat!
thanks for the video.

Right "capable" that would mean I believe not producing any Fusions.

I think that 304 average is just how many they've sold in the 9 years divided by how many work days they've actually had. Only removing weekends out of the year, 304 per day is about 79,344 mustangs a year. So they are plenty more capable than the 304 per day regardless of fusions built.

"...the assembly plant where the sports car is now produced moved its 1 millionth Mustang off the production line.

Flat Rock Assembly Plant has been home to the Mustang's production for the past nine years. It has produced an average of 304 Mustangs per day."

304cars*365days/year*9years = 998,640

It seems like the author just assumed the plant was open 24/7/365...

Hey Turtle,

I’ll be glad to help you track your order and provide status updates. Please PM either your VIN or order # and dealer code.

Enjoy the rest of your day! :)

Ah, yes good point. I honestly didn't even pay attention to the 1 millionth part of the article. I only accounted for the 304 per day. Removing weekends only the average production per day is 426 per day.

Thanks again to all who responded to my question about production capability. During my college days I was a full time student at UW- Milwaukee while working full time nights at a distribution transformer plant & I don't think we hit much more than 100 units per day. Granted, that was then, & this is now, but more than 100 high tech (super) automobiles per average day blows my mind. Guess I've been living in Wisconsin's beautiful Northwoods too long .....47 years +. Would someone please welcome me to AMERICA?:headbonk: Again, thanks to all who responded, I sincerely appreciate it. I hope I'm 1964 in sequence, but not 1965:amen:
