"as of August 27th (apparently the last update) your car is scheduled to be built the week of August 22nd"

Does she ever update after the build date? If so, why doesn't she know whether the car has been built yet? Is this message a good or bad sign?

I am now without transportation until my mustang arrives - the answers to these questions will determine whether I go through the time and expense to rent a car until delivery. Thanks.

 

Mine was built on the 17th, shipped the 19th, and arrived on the 26th. I'm in South Jersey and the shipping time can vary depending on your location. As for the ERL, it updated a couple of days after it shipped saying that "As of ### your unit has shipped via convoy" or something like that. Hope you get your car soon & good luck!

 

Looks like your actual build date was probably the 27th. The next message you should get, IIRC, is "your vehicle has been released from the foreign assembly plant."
Then one that says "Shipped via convoy carrier."
Then "Shipped via rail carrier."
Then "Shipped via convoy carrier" again.

 

I was starting to wonder the same thing myself. Mine keeps saying as of august 26... blah, blah, blah. I have been calling it twice a day to see if it has updated yet. Glad to know it will. I guess I will be calling three times a day now!!

Last week ERL said that "as of Aug 31, Unit was locked in for production for week of Aug 29". Now when I call it's back to saying just "as of Aug 31, you are scheduled to be built week of Aug 29". I wonder why I am not locked in anymore and just scheduled. :scratch:

 

That change back from "locked-in" to "scheduled" is apparently normal. You get locked in when you get a blend date, the date they figure when you car will go inthe line on the build day. Build is usually a week or so after that.

Your "as of 8/27 you are scheduled for week of 8/22" after a lockiin often indicates that 8/22 was your blend date. Mine is the same. Our cars may be getting built today as I type this!

 

Mine switched back like that on the same day it was bucked.

 

What does bucked mean? Just curious. -Marci

 

That's good to know, I was getting a little worried that maybe some commodity issue was going to delay the build.

 

thanks for all the info. Maybe if I call her once an hour she'll update more quickly :bang:

waiting without wheels. Thank god I live in the city.

 

Man I'm still C/U I HATE that lady!

 

:bang:

 

I AM "SHIPPED BY CONVOY CARRIER"

:headbang: :w00t:

And yes, I have been reduced to checking the erl at one in the morning

 

Bucked means everything is in place and ready for your car to be built.
That's the best explaination I have. If you need more, try a search. I remember someone recently asked what the exact definition was.

 

Don't feel bad. I checked with the evil one 4 times yesterday. As soon as my husband is awake this morning, I'm calling!! I was supposed to be built on the 26th, so if yours updated, I'm betting mine did too!!! -Marci

 

I just found out mine is being born this thursday!!

:banana2:

Ok I know it's not here yet, but it wont be long now!!

 

I was told this morning that my car arrived at the ramp on 8/28.

What exactly do they mean by arrived at the ramp.

 

Me too!!! Whooo hoooo!!! Wonder if our cars are on the same truck? Wonder how long it will be now?? Or if it is hitting the lot RIGHT NOW??
Guess I'm going to drive my stang in the rain the first drive. If it gets here this week that is...

Me too! ETA, week of Sept 5!!

 

Mine has also arrived at ramp on 08/28. From what I have heard we are almost driving. I guess that the ramp is the last place before the dealer, just waiting on a truck to take her there.
I called my dealer to see if they could get an ETA, no word back yet.

Just got the call, my car is in Detroit waiting on a train. Could be any day now, but the dealer said most likely next week.
