Elguapo99 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 My PHEV Premium has been "In Production" since 2/10. Dealer has no additional updates but enrolled me to receive texts from the system when the status changes. Nothing but crickets from Ford since the last update on 2/10.

Dealer has no additional updates but enrolled me to receive texts from the system when the status changes. Nothing but crickets from Ford since the last update on 2/10. The VVR probably shows "In Production" as the primary status, I suggest asking your dealer if the VVR includes any secondary status. In production means the order has been sent to the plant and doesn't always mean the vehicle has started on the line. If some expected components didn't arrive, as expected, your build is delayed. The vehicle can also be built, but stored off site waiting for parts, which will have it remain showing in production. However, in the VVR, the secondary status often explains the delays. Personally, I have never received anything from Ford with 4 special orders, as I purchase from my dealer's Sales Manager, he provides all updates.

okieford Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 ordered my 2023 Escape PHEV on Jan 19, 2023.Have not heard a peep from Ford. Checked with the dealer this AM and they told me that yes Ford had the order but no build date yet. Its been 10 weeks. Looks like mine will not make it.

Just received a text message from VinView that reads "Update: Plant Trim Line Start (230)" so it looks like production may actually be happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is VinView, something through dealers? I assume you can only get alerts once the build process has started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you can only get alerts once the build process has started? As I posted on 10/17/2022, VINView replaced the Vehicle Visibility reporting system as of 10/25/2022. Vehicle Visibility was deactivated as of 02/01/2023. VINView Vehicle Tracking Platform to Replace Vehicle Visibility ACTION REQUESTED • VINView will be live on October 25th. SUMMARY As part of Inventory Reframing, we are pleased to launch a modernized, more informative and more functional vehicle tracking platform to improve dealer's ability to manage inventory and to improve the customer experience. VINView provides users an innovative look and feel while including key functionality upgrades such as customized dashboards for each user, searches for better sales planning based on inventory arrivals, vehicle logistics mapping with coordinates, text/e-mail notifications on vehicles, and enhanced Excel report downloads. Additionally, these improvements will enhance the ability to sell from the pipeline to increase turn rates while also providing better line of sight to the status of retail orders, also crucial to operating at a lower days’ supply and to drive sales velocity. DECOMMISSIONING OF VEHICLE VISIBILITY Vehicle Visibility will be decommissioned February 1, 2023; thereby, providing ample time to transition to VINView.

daTurd Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Does anyone know the 2023 PHEV's critical minerals sourcing for the battery? The new tax credit will be highly affected by this.

When the roof shortage was posted, our PHEV scheduling info was deleted again and status reverted to In Order Processing. Last week it was re-scheduled to 20th April and then a couple of days ago moved ahead to 19th April. Although they probably won't have the roofs currently in stock, they expect to have the roofs and other materials by that date. Our orders should be built fairly close.

My premium has a sunroof, originally scheduled for mid-Feb but was just built this Monday/Tuesday according to the online tracker. The window sticker still includes the sunroof so I assume that means it will have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
