My dealer told me it might be 4-5 weeks before I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluggedin Posted January 27, 2013 at 02:19 PM Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 at 02:19 PM (edited) That's not an apples to oranges question, meyersnole. I placed my order in November and had many guesses at when the car would be produced. Since you placed your order on 1/21, your process will be different from mine. However, in a week or two (because production has started) your salesman should be able to give you a tentative date when parts should be pulled for your car...mine were finally pulled on 1/18 and that is the key that leads to a build week an ETA and a VIN. I have a really good salesman who doesn't BS me and the guy he calls, who places the orders for the dealership, has been pretty straight arrow too. You just have to stay on your sales guy to get you that information. On the Blue Oval Forum I notice there are others who placed orders around the same time I did, and some even before me, that don't have build weeks or ETA's posted yet. My guess is that both are available to them but their salesmen are not letting them know what they are. They should make a call.

meyersnole Posted January 28, 2013 at 01:03 AM Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 at 01:03 AM That makes sense, and my sales guy has been really good. I sent him an email the other day and got a noteback the next day with confirmation that the order had been placed. I don't want to be a pain, so I think I will give it a few weeks before I send another note asking about progress if he does not send me an email before then. It is great having a place to figure this all out... I am in the process of figuring out my charger now. Will probaly post some questions after I hear back from the local power company. They did have a program running where they will install and maintain a charger for you if you applied, but that ends in April of 2013 so I do not have high hopes they will install one for me. I applied anyway though just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluggedin Posted January 28, 2013 at 01:22 AM Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 at 01:22 AM The charger is another thing we are out in front of the curve on. The dealers and technicians have not even seen one of these cars and all they seem to know is that they come in 110 and 220 volt configurations. The only gripe I have so far is that my car is due to be here in about 7 weeks, or so, and they are not talking to me about the charger at all. My understanding is that Ford is contracted with Best Buy to do the install but since my dealer is not certified yet they have no information on it at all. There is still plenty of time for everything to gel, but I do get a bit anxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will start another topic on this in the other part of this forum (kinda burried here).

And what Priority did your order have?I have never known that and never asked. All I have ever had was a computerized copy of the options for the car. The order that went to the factory had a different number on it than mine does. It may very well be that they entered the order as a dealer order, without my name on it, and that would probably make it a Job 1.

I checked about 4 times a day after I got my VIN. I checked at about 6:30 am, on 1/31, and it was not there so when I checked at slightly after 8:00 am my heart skipped a beat when the program http://www.researchmaniacs.com/Ford/TrackFactoryCarOrders.html began to spin and my cars window sticker popped up. Prior to that it just immediately showed the VIN was not in their system. I figured that if the car has any chance of being built during the week of 2/4 that the sticker should show up by 1/31 or 2/1. I was hoping for sooner than that, of course. :happy feet: Edited February 1, 2013 at 01:24 PM by pluggedin FusionEnergi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy314 Posted February 1, 2013 at 04:00 PM Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 at 04:00 PM I had heard build scheduling is Thursday. So you just have to check Thursday evening... If nothing else surprise your salesman with the information. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_h Posted February 8, 2013 at 01:00 AM Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 at 01:00 AM Looking at "dealer ordered" stock, ran a check in Etis on the one Energi inbound to a local dealer and it was built yesterday -- 3FA6P0SU7DR240759 Build Date: 06.02.2013 So those who have a pending Energi order keep checking... yours might have been built yesterday too!
