Ok I just verified on my window sticker, it now lists "Power Liftgate" and no mention of acoustic glass. My car is "In production" as I type this :mad:

I changed my order from a CAR1 to a Premium and the hands free lift gate and acoustic glass were two features I decided were worth more money. I use hands free on my Pacifica a lot. Very useful with a load of groceries. Wondering if I should see if they’ll honor my CAR1 reservation which is built. The Premium isn’t even scheduled yet. Grr.

My order was converted before 12/1/21. Is there anything on the window sticker or modules or anywhere else to check for the acoustic glass?

I see my order just has:
  • Power Liftgate
No, there is nothing on the window sticker. Below I'm posting the text from my 2021 sticker, and my 2022 sticker, for identical vehicles (except for mats). You can see in the 2022 that Power Liftgate was added to the list, as was Mobile Power Cord. Functional section changed quite a bit.

oh, that is awful!! I love the foot activated lift gate feature of my 2021 P-E4X. Once I figured out what exactly triggered it, it works 100% of the time. I hope they allow people to get this added in when the chips are available.

It would bothered me less if we knew when our orders were converted to 2022s. I wonder if this is a supply issue.
Dan, We received an email from Ford on October 1st. Subject: Your order has been updated. This email informed us that our MME has been converted to a 22 model. The same email credited us $750 due to price increases.

To those who have the acoustic glass on their 21s, is there an engraving on the front driver and passenger windows that indicates this? I’m going to be chatting with my dealer about this issue and I want to know whether I’ll have a way to distinguish reality from any wishful thinking on my dealers’ part. I don’t think they’d try to mislead me, but I suspect they know about as much as I do at this point…

It’s not an issue at all for me. I find kick to open about as reliable as many find PAAK. But i do understand the sentiment about it going AWOL,
Since I don't use PAAK I can't comment on that BUT, for me, the Hands-Free Liftgate works 99.9% of the time. I learned that you have to be dead-center and kick forward (not side to side)

The acoustic glass was still a feature on Oct 1st. And the significance of any rewording in the lift gate also wasn’t obvious. They also renamed the front trunk a ā€˜frunk’, which is a distinction without a difference.

Like most thing with Paak the kick to open rarely worked. With the ONE fob it works 99% to open. I gave up on closing as I looked like I was doing an Irish dance and it rarely worked to close. It's disappointing Ford is removing these items. I wonder if Paak, BC, major OTAs are next to be removed. ;)

I feel like this would be more of a sensor shortage rather than a chip shortage?

I assume the power lift-gate buttons are not accessible outside the car? So they probably don't have to "know" if the car is locked or not. The kick sensor, in addition to the actual sensor, has to talk to other car systems to know if the car is stationary and unlocked before it will trigger. So that's going to require a couple "chips".

Not sure if/when they may change the manuals (haven’t checked).
I don’t see why they would need the change the manual. There are lots of features in there that aren’t on all models. That’s why ā€œif equippedā€ is so prevalent.

Same thing is happening with very large features in other automakers like GM is taking out Supercruise due to chip shortage. I mean, if it meant another 6 months would you wait for the thing that makes it easier to open your trunk or would you want your car?
I would say give me the car of course, but I don’t think that’s a valid example. If I didn’t follow these forums I wouldn’t even have known it wasn’t there. Ford didn’t give me a choice or even inform me, they just told dealers don’t report it as an issue.
