I’d guess they’ll start showing up in 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellanca Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) That is a little aggravating; I placed mine as soon as I could and then just had to reorder last week due to a configuration issue. Was hoping to have it by the end of August but that’s not looking likely given when you ordered yours. But congrats on your order!!

Scheduled build day is 8/12 Retail orders are not being built yet. Only the Explorer (non hybrid) received the Ok 2 Buy about 3 hours ago. Aviators have not been given the ok 2 buy yet. Just because they are scheduled, they will continue to be pushed back until the ok 2 Buy is given. Explorers last week got pushed back approximately 10 days because it hadn't been given yet. So although orders are scheduled, it doesn't mean anything until we finally achieve Ok 2 Buy. Edited June 13, 2019 by blwnsmoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it is going to be a big cluster F... 5 -6 weeks of production, all piled up in storage lots.. have to go through them all, then figure out how to get them all out of the lot.

Nothing new - I think most completely new models have gone 4-5 weeks here lately. At least it's not as bad as the 2013 Fusion/MKZ launch where they had to ship cars from Mexico to Detroit and back to replace the headlamps.

akirby Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I didn't think they scheduled retail orders until ok to buy had been given? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do, they will just keep getting pushed back if the projected O2B isn't given. Here are my 2 STs (had to reorder because I changed color) April got the build week and Build date ended up being the 21st of this month. 2nd one placed in May received a build date in less then a week for July 26th but last week many Explorer members got theirs pushed back and it is now showing Aug 4th.

However, I assume they will not even start any of the hybrids until they are full speed ahead on the regular models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crozdub115 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Mine order was just updated to "in Production" "sent to plant" - Does that mean they have OK to Buy and things will start moving along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
