Is your "ETA" the build date or the date that they expect the vehicle to be at the dealer? I think I have a build date but no actual "it's at the dealership" date.

Somebody else correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the ETA is the date they expect it to be delivered.

Anyone know what's up at Ford today? Chat can't get into the system to check order status and I can't get on Ford Fleet site at work either because it's all server errors.

Did someone hack the Ford server looking for bad emails or something?!

OASIS is also down (at least ETIS cannot access it.) COITUS is down. There was a rumor that my build date might be next week but it crashed the computers at FoMoCo. Sorry guys.

The system tried to establish the chronological progress of your order and after struggling for hours blew the hell up. At least that's what I heard.
