Just adding to the chorus. Got my email today bumping me from 9/27 to 10/25. Have such low expectations that this email was a pleasant surprise. Like others, hope it sticks.
The email I got from Ford on 8/26 notifying me of the 9/27 build week included my VIN. Is that not the case for everyone? Emailed my dealer to ask if the date has shifted and have not gotten a response.
In New York I would only be charged sales tax for the difference between the trade-in and the new car sales price, so I’d be saving the equivalent of 8.875% (NYC sales tax) on the $28k ($2,485).
Regarding the trade-in, I’m looking to offload a 2016 BMW 428 Convertible and Carvana’s offer as I write this is $28,457 and Chapman’s ballpark trade-in offer subject to seeing the car (if I traded it in today) would be about $28,000, and there’s a big tax benefit with a trade-in. Just wanted to...

I didn’t expect to get a build date so quickly. I was going to update my order to look exactly like @Cridlon’s but never got around to it. Oh well.
