I decided to call while I was at Publix and I heard the evil robot lady finally say "As of May 23 your vehicle is LOCKED IN for production on the week of May 23"(not bad...only day 124 from when I ordered..)

that means im definitely being built next week right?

How long does it usually take from build date to delivery, I know my dad's F350 took about 2 weeks.

Other May 23rd build date peoples...represent!

Ordered 1/22, DORA 1/25, Serialized 5/6, "As of MAY 26 your vehicle is LOCKED IN for production the week of May 23"

I ordered 3 days later than you and my build date is also 3 days later than you, what a coincidence!

My V6 Convertible was ordered 4/30 and I was also given May 23 for the build date.

What is this Erl I keep hearing about?

I need a vin to get my insurance going, they need 2 weeks for the paperwork.

I'm calling Ford today and everyday until I get a vin #. I hope the guys at the plant are in good moods and having a great week. heck, I'd send over lunch for them if Ford would tell me where to send it.

Oh, June 19 is my estimated delivery date.

I was shipped on May 19th via Rail Carrier and no car yet. Of course I live in the Northwest. It seems folks in Florida are enjoying a 5 to 8 day turn around.

I think the "convoy carrier" message right before you get "rail" is the process of moving the car from Flat Rock's retention lot to the railyard.

I was built on May 26th and the ERL still tells me "As of May 26th your vehicle was produced". I guess I'm one of those lucky ones waiting on a rail car or something.
