My dealer has a Raptor that was scheduled to build a couple weeks ahead of mine so I've been keeping an eye on it to guage shipping time to Oregon. That build was schedule for week of 3/11, in production 3/18, built 3/18, but finally shipped yesterday 4/9 and dealer confirmed that it went by rail and is just leaving Detroit today.
Certainly took a long time to get it shipped and hope that is not indicative of how long mine will take...

Ok campers, finally some tracker movement. Sometime late yesterday, my tracker updated to show an in production date of 4/10. Plus my modules are up; no tear tag as yet but expecting that today.
Regarding shipping times, it’s kinda unpredictable, at least it has been. Previously it took mine a bit over 2 months. I know some are seeing shorter times; checking previous build weeks it seems to be running a little shorter now. But it’s just not an exact schedule. There’s a lot of logistics in grouping the deliveries for rail based on routes, off-loading/holding depo’s, etc. So there's a lot of moving parts.
I’m certainly no expert but all I can say is it’s getting closer, and it seems delivery times do seem to be shorter these days.
Progress!

Ok, my modules are all up and got my tear tag so mine is built and ready. Yay.
Now comes the unknown: waiting for some update with no schedule.
We'll see.
Good luck to us all for a quick turn around.

Following behind you down the line apparently. My mods and tear tag are up. Woohoo! Now we wait!!
Seems like production cruising along for those of us in this weeks group. Wishing everyone smooth sailing... and patience!

Mods came up over night some time while I was sleeping. Tracker shows a build date of 4-11, and a link to the window sticker has finally appeared. It doesn't work, but it's there.
Good way to start the day.

Mine has a blend date of 4/11 but no updates yet to suggest it met that blend date. Keep the good news rolling folks so I can be happy for y'all while being hopeful and jealous on my end 
I think white Broncos may have jumped the line yesterday for some reason...

If your blend date is from your window sticker then it’s solid. The tracker can lag behind for even a few days. Don’t worry. It’s happening!

My tracker updated to built sometime late yesterday and now it does have the link to the window sticker but of course it doesn’t work yet.
Hang in their kids, this is our week and it’s happening!

I can't speak for main assembly in this case, but some of this has now become myth. Just over half (I believe) of departments in the plant I'm at are on what's coined 4 crew, or flex schedule. It's areas that are in production 24/7 including manufacturing/machining and assembly. You have 4 teams on 12 hours. They run 5a-5p and 5p-5a. 2 sets work Mon/thurs/fri while the other 2 sets work tue/wed/sat/sun. Then the following week the sets rotate their days. So in other words the Friday myth for some teams would be on a Monday or Wednesday. There's also plenty of traditional Monday-Friday departments that are forced weekend work depending on demand that isn't scheduled until Thursday and even then those postings constantly change at the last minute but if they budget and the "plan" is to work the weekend it has to be posted by Thursday otherwise it can't be forced.Same here. My blend day is this Friday so I suspect mine will sit on the line in pieces over the weekend and get finished next week. People can't wait to get out on Friday and don't want to be there on Monday. UUUGGGHHH this shoule be fun

You guys are making me nervous. My tpw was the 1st with a blend date of the 5th. It went into production on the 8th and still sits at that. Modules are populated with a tear tag but the tracker still stuck on in production.
Never fear. Once you've started production the tracker gets unreliable. With your blend date, once you past that and you have your tear tag you're built! My dealer had better access to track progress for me after that point but eventually the tracker did occasionally update, just late.
