Let the games begin

[acdii]

So I have been browsing the upcoming HyTi's on carsdotcom and found a few that have their stickers available, but havent been built yet. So based on what others have found with the date on their sticker and when ETIS shows the car being built, lets play the guessing game. Find a VIN and look at that date on the bottom.

 

3FA6P0RU2DR276929

Date 03 14 13

 

My guess, it will be built 3 25 13

They build on Saturday? I was going to pick 23, but didnt know if the line ran on the weekend

[murphy]

I say 3/21/13.

3FA6P0RU0DR281921

 

3-19-13

 

3-28-13

 

 

Grab a VIN and go, there are 14 to choose from that have stickers.

 

EDIT: 13, if its Ruby Red, the VIN doesn't have a sticker yet, guess still on Commodity Hold.

You posted in another thread that you had a slow work day and were surfing around... I've done that on dealer sites and checking windows stickers, then build dates on Etis, looking at the difference etc... from what I can tell by the build dates that pop up in Etis, yes there are Saturday builds, but I don't think I've encountered a Sunday build date (though this is just through random sampling only).

My HyTi is, "Scheduled to day: March 23"

 

(a Saturday)

Like I posted earlier. They work a 6 day week (M-S) with two shifts a day.

I win.

 

The car in question (3FA6P0RU2DR276929) was built 3/21.

 

Primary Features

Build Date: 21.03.2013

Vehicle Line: Transit Connect 2002-

Engine: 2.0 4V DOHC PFI Gas/Electric

Transmission: ECVT Auto Trans Power Split

Hint: add 7 days to the date on the window sticker and it will usually be the build date.

So now the big question is, when will Ruby Red come out of Commodity Hold?

AHA not always true, could have something to do with the paint though.

Sounds like a temporary glitch, didn't it? That next commodity letter noted that only the Ruby Red retail orders would be scheduled the next go-around IIRC, so someone needed to fill another couple paint buckets and off they go -- we hope!

[acdii]

Yeah, so maybe next week. The two I looked at havent posted stickers yet, unless the system hasnt updated from yesterday.

Same as my order #2, scheduled-to-day 3/18 but still no window sticker, I expect it was kicked back a couple weeks, bumped the cyberdman thread so hope to find out on Monday.
