Update: from my salesman "I checked with my manager and they have not issued a vin yet because it have a "build week" assigned for the week of October 24. Once they assign the actual date they'll issue the vin number 👍🏼"
Last year on October 14th, I went to a ford dealership and placed an order for an area 51 hybrid xlt + lux with a tonneau cover and was first told that it would take about 16 weeks. Then months went on and still had no updates, I didn't even get any emails confirming the order like everyone else...
