I'd chill a little bit. Just be patient. They could be waiting to fill a truck/rail car going to the same location, and haven't got enough cars to fill it yet. This isn't a valet, it's a giant plant cranking out 700 cars per day. Yours could get bumped if one with a higher priority comes off the line. There are a ton of factors involved in moving out that many cars. Your car will get to you, you have an order and a number and a spot in line. But like any line, there are occasionally cutters. Like VidPro said, you're still ahead of many others in this thread. There are people who ordered well after I did that just got the same build date as I did. I'm not griping, it is what it is. Have a beer and watch some playoffs (hockey, basketball, whatever your flavor). ![Thumb](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb.gif)

Thanks I am trying. I think one of the things that makes me nuts is the tracking site. I'd rather have known nothing than to be given a date, then right before that date push it out a week, then when that date comes disable the tracker for my car completely. And then the tracker and Deysha and my dealer are telling me 3 different things. Ford really needs to get the right info out to everyone. It's like someone is messing with my head on purpose! And I could have had a car with same options right of the lot but different (still nice) colors. Ok I am done now. Carry on, good fellows. Time to refill the tumbler.
I've been more or less leaving my dealer alone. I know the car hasn't been built yet, there's not much that they can do about it, and for the deal they gave me on the car I wouldn't expect anything. I'll probably bug Deysha a little more once mine is in transit but really, the process takes time, there are going to be delays and difficulties, not much anybody else can do about it. I choose to grab a beer and watch some surprisingly good and competitive NBA playoffs.

As for the pictures I was able to grab a few before I left but I keep getting an error when I tried to post them.

There's an awful lot of asterisks and footnotes on that tracking site. And it's really more of a guideline than anything, a central DIY solution for your car, which is subject to change. It's been proven page after page in this thread that Deysha's the most accurate info. Dealers will often try to get you hyped up with an earlier date, or give themselves some cushion.

The tracking site is definitely just a guideline.
#4612
I understand now that the tracking site is nothing more than a VERY LOOSE guideline, but I still think it does more harm than good with that being the case. Maybe it will get better over time. I also maintain that for the $825 delivery charge I should not have to wait 3 weeks to ship 275 miles. I could have had it shipped myself for less and had it in 2 days. That is simply the truth, no matter how you slice it. Furthermore, I think Ford is missing an opportunity here. For folks like us who are this passionate about their products, they should do more to expedite the shipping and/or let us have the option of picking the cars up at the factory like many manufacturers already do. This is doable and reasonable.
Sorry guys for raining on the parade. I'll take this up with Ford going forward, but I am staunchly confident in my views in these regards and I guarantee if I was running a program in charge of custom order delivery I could vastly improve customer satisfaction with no additional cost.
I applaud your patience, but as for me it is not my nature to see so much opportunity for improvement and simply accept it. I guess it's due to my work background.
Anyway, good luck to all. I know I will still love my car when I get it, and I will post pictures on a more positive note when I do. Cheers!

I was actually very surprised by your ETA being so soon lakeguy77. My blend date is the same as yours but my ETA is 6/19. We all know these dates are subject to change but there WAS nearly a month’s difference in our ETA’s. Good luck and hope it gets there ASAP.
