When the window sticker for my Silver Spruce Platinum first became available, the date at the very bottom was 06/18/2019 and the BLEND date was 06/25/2019 which indicates a build date of June 25, 2019. On June 25, the date at the bottom of the window sticker changed to 06/25/2019 which I believe is when hardcopy of the window sticker was printed to be affixed to the vehicle at the factory. If I look at a PDF of the window sticker, it still says BLEND date was 06/25/2019 and the date at the bottom of the sticker remains 06/25/2019.
Yesterday, June 29, 2019, I asked my sales guy for a status update. He gave me a printout that shows my Explorer primary status is "In Production" and its secondary status is "Sent to Plant." It also shows Status Date/Time as June 17, 2019 even though the status report was requested, generated, and date-stamped on June 29, 2019.
This is similar to what TonyST is experiencing with his order, but I don't know what it means. Did the factory shut down for some reason? Or maybe completed Explorers that are parked outside the plant continue to show "In Production" status until they're headed for shipment? Or maybe there's a component shortage that's causing incomplete Explorer's to be produced for rework at a later date?
