9/19/22 Build Week

Day 9 of no change. I'm refreshing less often now, down to hourly instead of every 10 minutes. Probably down to twice a day by tomorrow.

I thought I read that if your vehicle ran into major issues you may be able to see info on recall link. Maybe give that a check?

nice link to have, thanks! Says mine has no recalls. I'm actually not too worried, this is exactly what I went through last year. I'd just hoped it wouldn't be this way this time, but I won't get too upset for another week or so. They will not tell you anything in this stage unless its on hold for chips (mine is a mid-package so I doubt that's an issue). Probably waiting on a blue Ford badge.

Tear Tag showed up a bit ago. Not exactly sure what it means but I see everyone else getting excited when they get theirs so I'll be excited as well LOL

It appears the 9/26 build week is starting to see modules. So, everyone in our week should have their modules now. Hopefully most have tear tags soon if they don't already. Remember, those are found just below your VIN on the modules page. Please update the spreadsheet (linked in my signature below) with all pertinent information (modules, tear tags, built/shipped emails, etc.). It looks like we're all now in the random world of built/shipped/delivered status. Good luck to all and please let us know when you take delivery!

I'm still stuck in "In Production" limbo. Of our active participants in the thread, I appear to be the only 7-spd manual transmission. So, I like to think there's only one guy/gal at the plant that can drive a stick and I have to wait for them to move it from one stop to the next. (Almost assuredly not true, but fun to imagine.)

It's basically the next stop in getting your vehicle closer to "built" after getting modules. It also tends to move sequentially like the modules, so it helps others in the build week know what to expect. Unfortunately, it appears to be the last stop in logical movement. Going forward, built/shipped/delivered status will vary wildly throughout the group.

Strictly speaking, I was able to find this definition of a tear tag...

The Tear Tag allows Ford the ability to identify any change made to a vehicle concerning its emission equipment, calibration or any deviation from the standard emissions configuration. It also allows any updates to be controlled and documented.

THANK YOU! I searched the forums and finally got tired of scrolling through pages of everyone being excited but not knowing why LOL

Got my module and tear tag last night. Since I was the second from last unit in production for the week of 9/19, others should also have theirs ....
