I definitely am, even emailing the dealership owner who is an old family friend. Will advise.
Met with the dealer today, and it is most definitely not them playing games. They are furious as well. They also will not get the vehicle if I dont order it, so its not like they will benefit by me walking. They were going to cancel and refund my deposit, but we decided to hold on for a few weeks just incase!

We take chance on the deposit to show serious intent to purchase the vehicle and then lose said deposit
in Canada your deposit is non-refundable?

Anybody else get this e-mail from Ford this morning? I'm usually optimistic, but I get the sense they may be setting those with later build dates up for disappointment?:

Not to worry, this has been seen by several people today, just confirming your build week is still on track, though it can change, sometime to the better. Do you plan to share your VIN or keep it private?

i see this on order tracker but on none of the official ford sites, where does this pull its data from?
The ORDERTRACK.APP often see's status changes hours to a day ahead of posting in the SHOP sites.
A few of the updates had posted to the Canada SHOP site while others had not yet posted.

I don't see the need to share my VIN, but does that help this forum in some way? Maybe I'm being weirdly paranoid. I'll gladly share my DOB, SSN, DL#, the street lived on when I was 8 and anything else. ;)

Crowd analysis of trends in the production week, but ..... for the moment you're the only one in 9/26.
You can remain anonymous, let me know what happens as your build progresses.

I honestly wouldn't worry. A lot of us got that same email, some with early Sept build dates.

I think it is just CYA boilerplate language. Given that the Production-->delivery time is getting shorter and shorter I'm not picking up on any issues with people who already have a scheduled build date.
