Thanks KnightMare. And congrats on the 2/8 build date. Hopefully you can verify that with your dealer today. I didn’t mean to create confusion with my post title. I’m talking primarily about build date. I just thought I read somewhere that build date and ship date are basically the same thing. Anyway, just checking if anyone’s build date giving to them prior by the dealer turned out to be the actual date tripleB found their build sheet. Or was it perhaps days sooner/later.
Ahh. The build has been looking weeks before a ship date. About 20ish people can chime in to get an average their actual build date to the estimated ship date provided by the dealer
@tripleB should be able to give the average time between build sheets and window stickers to figure that part out
I believe most, me included, were given estimated ship dates, not build dates so we really don't have enough information to know how close they are because we don't know when any of the trucks actually leave the factory. I can only tell you details about my truck since I know them personally but they hit/beat my date spot on.
On Dec 12th I was moved from D to D1 and given a 1/10 estimated ship date.
Fast forward to this week
On Monday and Tuesday (1/4-1/5), no change, still in D1 status
On Wednesday evening I was in F status (Paint) and had been moved up to a 1/8 estimated ship date and I assume my truck was finished down the line that day.
On Thursday morning my truck build sheet showed up and that evening me dealer called me to tell me that they had confirmation my truck was finished and is just waiting on a long train ride here (they claim typically 2-3 weeks)
I am hoping to see the window sticker show up today at some point. And if so then that lined up perfectly with my adjusted date and even beat the original by 2 days.
BUT, I really have no way of knowing exactly when the truck left or will leave the factory, just that its ready to.
Worth noting that the original 1/10 date is a Sunday but was given to me in 2020 when they were still working 7 days a week. They adjusted scheduling at the start of 2021 to 5 days so I'm not sure how that effects any dates that were given before this change in work schedule.
