ETAs how accurate are they?

Folks who have ordered and received cars, how accurate have the ETA's been?

My car is scheduled to be built on May 3rd. My ETA was just listed as May 11th. I live in Massachusetts. From build to delivery at my dealer is it really around a week? Not that this is a bad thing but it seems really fast.

Mine was delivered just a few days after the first ETA of 21 April. It showed up at the dealer's a week before the second ETA of 1 May!

My 1st ETA was 4/19 (5 days after build). My 2nd ETA is 4/25 (tomorrow). Ask me again tomorrow.

The one that coincides with the dealer calling you to tell you it's at the dealership is pretty accurate. Aside from that one, the others aren't at all. It's why it's called an *estimated* time of arrival.

my ETA is April 6th, Still don't know when it will arrive and when I called ford they did not know either. I am told it is in some type of inspection hold. I can order a $10 item from Amazon and track it every step but a $40,000 car and nobody knows when it will ship.

Mine was delayed once, but got here pretty close.

I was told the 8 th, then the 18th to the 25th of parole, and picked her up yesterday...so, they are pretty accurate after the first delay.

so I won't get my hopes up for the 11th. Just hope to have it for a trip to the Dragon the first week of June which seems possible.

Hey JeffL

I too am in MA mine was built 4/17 check with the dealer this past Saturday he told me it's in transit currently in Ohio with an ETA of 5/5, Ford told me the ETA was going to be 4/24 so I'm hopeful by this weekend it arrives to Herb Chambers in Braintree.

Got the call this morning, it's at the dealer. So my 2nd ETA was spot on.

I believe this is the one I was tracking for you before and it just got there on Friday.

FYI: Im in CT & got mine 3 days before ETA, 1 week after its stop in OH. Train might go NY>CT>MA though & the NY stop(s) took a few days.
