Ordered two weeks ago, hopefully I can get scheduled this coming thursday.

PS: no 14's on the dealer's lot

Oh yeah if that happens I'm buying a bug!addle:

You should have an order number and dealer number which allows you to track your car on COTUS before your VIN shows up. It appears that VINs get assigned on Thursdays, and we know additional cars get pulled for production on Thursdays. But those two things don't happen the same day, maybe one to three weeks apart.

Once you have a VIN, you can check the COTUS source code (directions are on this site) to find your build week, which shows up in the hidden data long before COTUS shows it to you on the main screen. (Mine is 10/20, and that won't show up on the COTUS screen until very near that date, but the information has been embedded since 9/25.)

I never knew I would know so much about this!

Show me were to find the steps to look up COTUS source code to find your build date. I can't find it on this site.

Congratulations on your new orders, Aminian and slcoddity!

If you'd like me to help track your orders, please send me a PM with your dealer code and order number.

Reading something like that makes me realize ...

I know the wait is the hardest part, JimmyTwoTimes. :(

I don't think I'm tracking yours either. If you'd like for me to do so, please send me a PM with the dealer code and order number.

Just checked COTUS with the order number my dealer provided and .... it's the wrong color. ...

The Ford Order Tracking site (Cotus) is still a pilot program and is not always the most up-to-date.

Was anything else off in the order? It's quite possible it was not the right order number or the dealer used it for multiple orders. Send me a PM with your dealer code and the order number you were given, as well as other details about your order; I'll check my tracker.
