Does anyone know how long it take for them to send a VIN#? I ordered mine 11 days ago. I know it‘s going to be awhile before I get a build date but just wondering when I will even get a VIN.
I am following you...My order was confirmed 4/12. Waiting patiently in line
VIN is assigned when it is picked up for scheduling. No scheduling this week or last week, they seem to be doing it in batches. Last batch of scheduling occurred week of March 21st for the month of May. Previously you would get another email with your VIN when it was scheduled (for example March 24th for a production week of May 16th) but there have been rumblings that Ford might have changed to only send emails when it is scheduled to day since that is firmer than scheduled to week that has pushed for so many Ford models. VIN assignment locks the order configuration, up until then you can modify the order with the dealer and not impact your place in line (aside from adding/removing constrained items). If you try and change the order after VIN assignment but before your manufacturing week it will kick it back into 'unscheduled' and you wait again.
I ordered on the first week of February, handful of January folks seem to have scheduled orders but the later weeks are still waiting. Also seems a few Fall 2021 orders are still pending scheduling for some reason while others got built and are waiting offsite for chips/wiper motors/etc. Plan a long wait, might even convert your order in June to a '23 model if it drags on. I've already had that discussion with my dealer that we might do just that.
Also considering ordering a Escalade V and see who can get something built first, nobody is moving very quick it seems.
