strange build date

30.11.0002 This is listed as my build date according to ETIS. My guess is this is used as a place holder until the actual date is released. Is this correct?

Yup. Mine said that for a few days. Then on the 20th it suddenly changed to the 18th of Sept.

My build said the same on etis until the actual build date of 8/28/17 replaced it. I believe that first series of numbers is just an arbitrary default sequence of numbers ford uses that means nothing about your build date.

I get the same thing. My build date was to be yesterday, I even did a ford chat. All they could say is "vin shows in production". I asked about cotus and she said mine isn't available there. Anyone know why? Agent didn't seem to know.

ETIS build date will change once the truck plant finishes the build. For now that is a place holder date.

Is it an F350 you ordered? For whatever unknown reason, I heard F350s weren't searchable via COTUS.

it's weird to me, Cotus is a us based deal and (as I understand) etis is for Europe.

Truck shows over seas but not at home. I suppose in the long run it don't matter. But still if they let us track a Focus why not a truck that cost 3 times as much. Again weird. Another weird deal is the dealer is less than helpful.
I try not to complain, but just watch out if they ask, "How was your experience shopping our dealership?"

Guess they finished mine on the 22. Friday past. Now to wait on a train.
Any guesses as to how long to ship from Kentucky to Fort Worth?
