Wilson do you still think Twitter is the best way to find out shipping information?

That is great that you recieved your Edge a week early, built 8/30 shipped 9/2. It seems they are in full, rolling production now. Congrats!

Looks terrific, congratulations! Let us know how you like all the features. I'm jealous, but not too much...I ordered black :shades:

I went in today and wanted to check on my VIN for the Edge '11. It was locked and said that no one could put in a new post. Guess Ford got tired of all the "outside" questions? Hope cyberdman (sp) is ok.

Does anyone know what the work schedule is at Oakville? Are they working 24/7 or 24/5?

Wow luvfod I LOVE the color! Reminds me of black cherry. I wanted to reach right out of the screen and then I reminded myself I ordered black! Please update all of us to let us know about Sync and MyFordTouch...if it lives up to the hype (I hope so!). Congratulations!

I haven't tried SyncMyRide.com. I'll wait until I have my Limited right in front of me before I do!

We ordered our 2011 Edge Limited on August 21st. We worked directly with the Fleet Manager from the dealership. It went in as Priority 15. I assumed it went in as a customer order but not sure. By August 27th I had a VIN number and build week of 9/13. Within a day or two I pulled up my window sticker online. I just talked to the Fleet Manager today and he said he had notice from the factory that it is in assembly now (!) and we should receive it by the middle of October. He told me he can track every step of the way for a car... Also he said they got their first Edge Sport in and that it was sold the minute it was washed off! We are in Northern CA.

Don't know if any of you have seen the new Edge commercials...we saw two different ones tonight. They were really cool all focusing on the Touch system. If that doesn't grab all the techies on my area (Bay Area, CA) then I don't know what will!

akirby was correct! We sat with the fleet manager for the dealership and ordered my 2011 Edge. The fleet manager orders every car for the dealership. They get to select the colors and all the options...trying to pinpoint what would sell best at their specific dealership. No dealer gets "whatever Ford sends them". See if you can talk to your fleet manager. Mine says he gets a report every Thursday which shows all his vehicles and what stage of production or shipping they are in. We are working only with our fleet manager and maybe I'm just lucky but he is absolutely on the ball...I think he is as excited as I am (well, maybe not!).

We looked at another 2001 Ford Car that was Tuxedo Black at the dealer so we would see what the Edge's black was like. Any chance of your dealer having the Bordeaux Red on another 2011 in their lot you could see. I believe that color will be beautiful but we went with black because I'm driving a bordeaux colored Volvo now.

I've been reading this forum for a while as we went through the new car decision process. Once we decided on the 2011 Edge we ordered it on 8/21/10. Today the fleet manager at our dealer gave us the VIN number and production date...the week of 9/13/10! He estimated that we would take delivery the first part of October. We live in Norther California.
