My Mustang has been “in production” since June 15. Just got the famous supply chain email. This launch is turning to the Bronco. The lack of information from Ford and speculation leads to everybody getting there hopes up. Those of you with a july eta I’m sorry but nobody is getting there car until December at this point. I waited 2 years for Ford to deliver on a bronco that never happened. Now they are going to do the same with this.

Counterpoint, the demand for the mustang or any other new sports car is going to be significantly lower than the off the charts levels of demand the bronco has experienced. Plus the mustang doesn't have to compete for priority within it's assembly plant, it's the only model coming from the plant. Whereas Ford has to juggle producing the bronco and ranger out of the same plant.

Flat Rock had some down time the past few weeks and Ford is committed to fixing quality issues before releasing the Mustangs. I had a 6/15 build date and the car was actually built 6/27 (Still shows in production btw). The Mods are active now and your dealer has access to track it once built.
We have a 7/7 ETA for delivery but it will happen when it does.

FRAP is scheduled for a shortened shutdown of 1 week.

Ive seen the offical documents somewhere, and I agree, FRAP is closed 1 week in July. Lot's of people are just putting out really bad info.

My guess is there will be customers driving 24s by the end of July.

I am seeing a large amount of people in various forums saying the entire production facility will be closed the entire month of July.

All Automotive OEMs have an annual shutdown at their plants that lasts a week or two for re-tooling.

It's a nothingburger.

The bigger concern, especially for those who aren't scheduled yet, is the looming UAW contract negotiations and a possible strike.

Meh , I can wait. It isnt like I dont have a car atm and usually car models come out closer to end of the year anyways.

Meh. I found my 23 Mach 1 which has everything I wanted in a dark horse anyway (the tremec). If my dark horse doesn’t get built in 24, Im not gonna convert it. Heck I might not even buy it if given the opportunity.

This sounds like Bronco again. My Bronco took two years to the week, from initial order to delivery. Now I've got over 14k miles on it and I love it, so the wait was worth it. But I'm in the dark on my Dark Horse, still don't have a VIN and it doesn't even show up in my Ford dashboard. My dealer has been good and was 100% up front with the Bronco order, so I'm not worried. But it sure would be nice to see some progress.

The Tracking system has never worked for my Vin. I call once a week to see where my car is in the product status.

Ordered 3/26- Ecoboost Premium convertible with the 201A performance package.

Currently in the Body/Trim department.

Someone posted the schedule, some Ford plants are down 2, FRAP showed to be down 1. It's somewhere on this forum. I probably believe that schedule vs what someone said on a forum.

Edit: found it

Typical, they told the guy wanting a tour they were closing for 2 weeks. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing.

Sure I know nothing about FRAP internal stuff, but come on, this is nothing like the Bronco. The Bronco had those plastic hard tops that had/have (not sure) big issues. There's nothing like that in the Mustang. The Mustang has mostly minor changes from the previous model and sure there will be some slight delays, but comparing it to the Bronco problems doesn't make any sense to me.

I don't know about the manufacturing specifics, but the process is feeling exactly like the Bronco. Initial order, long wait, finally get a VIN, more wait, delays, then in production, then wait, stuck on the factory lot, long delivery times, tracking through the railroad, finally showing local, at the dealer....and THEN get the phone call. Two years to get my Bronco, and I'm really hoping it's less than a year for the Mustang. But you never know.

My wife tried to order a Bronco and the local dealer said, "No, Ford's not accepting orders because they are about 2 years behind on some of the vehicles they promised to people."
This was last year late summer early fall.

So, if you want to think it's the same as the Bronco - let me know in a couple years if you still don't have your Mustang at that time I will agree it's exactly like the Bronco situation.
