You will have to ask your dealer. The build date is literally on the same page where he got your vin number from. I stealthed a picture of the screen when my salesman pulled up the info on my car, and you will see at the bottom of the picture, it has a box that has the projected week of the build date.

Wow... the first week of August is when yours is being built? **** I'm sure mine is then too. That means two months from order to build... this is going to be painful

I did drive by the plant today, ghost town. Lots of Mustangs in the lot next to the plant. There were more across the street but tough to see due to the pine trees along the road.

Get a load of this. My dealer informed me today that apparently Ford has lost the paperwork for my car and they don't exactly know where the papers or my car are currently located. My ETA is still 5/6 according to VV and Ford CS.

As far as I have able to discern, the first few cars were built in this order:
VIN___ Blend #
101300 0001
101646 0005
106722 0007
100330 0009
101636 0012
101694 0014
100407 0016
101873 0018
100319 0020
105160 0022
100405 0024
The first non pre-production VIN is 100294.

Cars are not at all built in VIN order. The situation is more pronounced at the beginning of the model year, but it is still true now. So your car may be built earlier (or later) than the one above.

I hope that's the case but I'm not counting on it 
I wonder who is scheduled the last 2 weeks of July, I've only seen like 1 person with a date in that time frame.

Over 75% of the buyers that either per-order their cars before they go into production or before the cars show up at the dealers are enthusiasts. About 90% of these people will or already do belong to an enthusiast forum. (68%) And because of the 3-month lead time from the preorder to build these people will collect into a seemingly large group waiting for the cars to be released.
Only 50% of buyers that buy vehicles after production cars get to the dealers are rabid enthusiasts. Only 50% already belong or join a forum before the car arrives. (25%) Because production is underway, there isn't a logjam of people waiting.

Hey, you should check out the United Road website and see if your car is trackable by Vin...

Wow...Ford's tracking system is worthless!!! Seems like they only update it once a week.
Earlier today my dealer saw the update as my car still being at Ramp 5M. Now he just texted me saying its been updated and says my car departed from Ramp 5M a week ago on June 26th. I doubt I'm lucky enough for it to get here tonight, but I am hoping to see it by Monday =)

Allow me to clarify my ADD-induced rant. Ford lost the papers on my car and due to this, they're not sure where the car is located. Yes, they lost an entire car along with the papers needed to locate it. Lovely.

Chevrolet did this same crap to the camaro guys too, they actually had a option code to designate early orders, i think it was R6P, and there were horror stories over there about cars being delivered out of sequence and after dealer orders. So Ford has done a pretty poor job based on reading this thread, but Chevy didnt do much better.
