⏱ Mach-E Scheduling Next Week (5/2) For Build Weeks 5/30 Through 6/27

Can someone explain how to read these? I placed my order in early April and I know I'm still eons away from delivery but wanted to know what this means for when the time comes (September??) That mine will start getting built.

This shows that next week of 5/2, actually Thursday 5/5 ford will schedule MME for the production to the weeks listed. Cleanup scheduling is just a continuation from the previous weeks scheduling where they try to fill in the gaps.

Still hoping for a June build date seeing as there have been very little 6/13+ build dates assigned. Though, there have been lots of people having their build dates slipping 1+ weeks :-/

At this point, it appears we just have to log in every Thursday and see how it goes.

I think this is happening because there is more capacity at the factory than they have parts to fill. Every week they try to fill the schedule, and then the allocation software runs out of parts. When they eventually load in more dates, they have already allocated all of their part inventory to the cleanup scheduling from the last batch of dates.

for weeks we've been stuck on "retail only" and/or "cleanup" scheduling for May-June build dates. As for actual builds (as shown by batch numbers posted on this forum), they seem to have slowed down in April.

I don’t know how accurate this is but I had my salesman add park assist prep kit and was told that my order is converted to 2023. I ordered on 3/17/22

did you order directly through ford or dealer to make the order?

Well, I went to the dealership to order (to talk to sales rep to make sure no ADM was gonna get added on), then he told me to go home and place the order online. So my order was placed online on 3/17/22 and dealer accepted the order on 3/22/22.

thank you! What trim is it and did it have the comfort/tech package (if it needs parking assist kit)?

My order was Select with comfort/tech package. I don't know how true this is because it took almost 2 weeks for me to get the salesman to add the park assist prep kit to the order but my order updated within an hour after he texted me so i'm thinking he wasn't giving me bad info.

Gotcha, I ordered a grabber blue select with comfort/tech package. Called my dealership and got a uhhh I’m not sure if you need parking assist kit haven’t heard of an issue. Also said they couldn’t give me any info like priority number. Ordered 3/11

You may want to be more persistent. My first conversation with the dealership few weeks back, I was told that Ford will notify dealers to update the order based on supplies on hand. But I read on this forum how Ford didn't communicate with dealers about adding the Prep Kit and it was putting people's order on hold. I contacted my dealer again and they said they couldn't find my order. So once I said, can you check again? If you still cant find it, i'll contact ford, and they magically found my order and updated it with the prep kit.
