That is why mine said, Oct 1 week. But it went to production yesterday based on that new tracking site. Tonight it still shows production though. Given it takes no more than 24 hours to assemble if it does not move tomorrow then I would say "in production" on that tracking site is a week thing, no different than the paper you have stating production the week of the 1st. My delivery date remains the same it has been though, 10-16. It is only going to Cincinnati.
Just call or chat message Ford performance they’ll give you best info

What is your priority code? Hopefully tomorrow some of us will have good news to share or more waiting to do.
Well, it seems my dealer didn't give me all the info all I got in the email was "FYI Your order is in acknowledged but No Vin. # yet." Nothing about priority or status. I guess I have some more questions for him... thanks!

Here is what I have determined on the new tracking website. https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#

The status does not appear to be 100% accurate/real time. My truck hit production sometime on Tuesday based on the site, which that was very accurate (more on that in a minute). It takes less than 24 hours to assemble. As of Thursday it still says in production. While I have not called to confirm I believe this is false, I believe it is built and here is why.

The window sticker showed up between late last night and this morning. There is really good info if you know how to break it down. The Focus guys have a post about it, maybe one is here somewhere as well. Read it, very helpful. https://www.focusrs.org/forum/11-focus-rs-purchasing/4248-window-sticker-guide-how-read.html

Based on my window sticker my truck was #1881 on Tuesday. This would mean it started its life very late Tuesday night as that is a rather high number. This would mean the truck would be complete Wed night based on the just under 24 hours to assemble, yet as of Thursday morning it still says production. I will continue to update you when it does move, but as of right now I would put the website at least 12 hours behind. It likely updates once a day would be my guess. Of course there could be other variables in play here. Maybe it was a "lucky" truck to be pulled for inspection/quality and that would keep the status in production.

I also learned from my sticker that my truck will never touch a rail. Truck all the way.

OK, forget all of the above. I just realized I was going on an invoice date. The Blend date is really more of a build date, and that says 20181002 on my sticker, or next Tuesday. I also failed to remember that the spray in liner is done after assembly, it goes off to get that done which will add a day or two. Guessing it will sit in production status during that process.

Sweet! I should get mine sooner since I'm not getting a spray in bedliner.
