What's your blend date if you're waiting for a steering wheel?

[Duffman8887]

Based on your production date I think you should have avoided the steering wheel issue....

Yeah that’s what it seems like. Just sharing some more info for other guys and the spreadsheet. Love the color Jholly i was back and forth

Same here. Cancelled my order and bought a stock 2018 Royal Crimson with recaros

I ordered mine because it would be impossible to find a duplicate on any lot. Does not leave me any options, but my 2013 is probably one of less than a dozen existing and is customized to make it one of a kind. This Mustang will be just as unique when I finish. So, I have no choice but to wait, but I also have the experience to be patience (call it old age, if you must). But I sure do hope it gets here while I am young enough to enjoy it.

I think the same way. Anyway, there's still 4 feets of snow outside here and I couldn't enjoy it even it would appear within the next 6 weeks.

What is the blend date shown on your sticker (if you have access to it)?

That makes it 2 of 7 known cars built without steering wheels to apparently have them installed. That's promising. Can't see any pattern as to how they're getting selected, though, and we haven't seen any of them actually ship.

My blend date 1/22 car is in transit. But still sitting in New Boston, MI, just down the street from the plant at a rail yard.

Interestingly, every other car at my dealer has CONVOY on the window sticker. I get RAIL.

Your dealer is involved in making the arrangements for shipping. Simply ask your dealer when it is being shipped. At the very least, they will know for sure if it is really waiting or not.

No, I don't think so. Per my dealer last week, Ford controls the entire process, and gives them the status on a daily basis. They have no input into the process.

Direct quote: "Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens."

Why do you think the dealer arranges it? I could see, perhaps, that they approve local dropoff times from the transhipper from the rail depot, but I can't see thousands of Ford dealers trying to interact with Ford's shipment system with the railroad across multiple individual plants. That would just be a hash, as every dealer tried to get first slot and fill the transporters with his vehicles.

Was told this through FPC. I have a call into my dealer to confirm. Maybe there is a difference between using Rail and Convoy.
