Same. I am like 72 on my dealer's list and he said he was allocated 9 2022s if I recall. Have to check my notes at home.

My dealer has 8 reservations…that’s all he’ll tell me. I’d be surprised if he gets allocated more than 1 in 2022.

When did you reserve? I did mine early the morning of the 20th.

Well, a good friend of mine reserved a Lightning on the first day possible and he told me the other day that his reservation was just able to be converted to an order in the last week or so. Dealer is Covert Ford in Austin, TX. He ordered a Platinum at $9X,XXX. Prob doesn’t help y’all any but figured I’d chime in anyhow.

Mine had 276 as of mid-January.

Covert moves a lot of iron. I know people up here (800 miles away) who have bought trucks from there online. Even after paying transport, the price is lower than buying locally.

I looked into trading my SR to an ER in December, even made an offer of $2K ADM on a stripped down GT. Everything I found that was on the dealer lot was $5K ADM. Actually the GT was $7K ADM, I offered $2K and they countered $5K. I like the instant gratification of buying a car right off the dealer lot ? without which I probably wouldn't have my MME right now. But, in case this turns out to be true, maybe I'll go ahead and place an order on one and get inline like everyone else

According to Jim Farley's tweet, there appears to be approximately 55,000-ish reservations/orders pending for Mach E once you do a little estimating/guessing. Understanding he does says plus and hard to pin down exact numbers.

Lightening 200,000
Transit 20,000
Mach E 55,000
Total 275,000

Not sure I understand the difference in ordering and reserving.

Mach E production is just over 6,000 per month. Not sure how many are heading to EU/UK from Mexico or if those are part of the 55,000 counted above.

Either way, 55,000 is most of the 2022 production already.

Yes, they do. But they’ve been shitbirds with MMEs because Austin is an EV friendly market and they are capitalizing on the demand for any cool, non-Tesla EV. ADM out the wazoo. But, my friend said his Lightning has no ADM or extras. I was like, no shit, its $100K out the door. He sighed.

Well then, ok, someone heard from somebody and they said they got a call from somebody else and that orders are ceasing, ok, got it!

The 2021 plan was 60% to the EU and UK and 40% to the U.S. and Canada. The final numbers seem to be reasonably close to that so I’d expect the 2022 plan to be “similar”

Local Ford sales manager has not heard anything yet but would not be surprised if true. I never realized how much interest there was in the MME so it does seem that perhaps the entire 2022 construction allocation has been set. If that is the case Ford should stop taking orders, and say why, to not give consumers false expectations.

I ordered my Mach-E GT Perf Edition on 5-11-2021. Still waiting. Apparently it arrived in Kansas on 1-10-2022, but it appears that no one knows anything since then...

Not to change subjects, but I understand that batteries drain in the cold. I'm just wondering how charged these things are at the rail yards. It makes me wonder if it's just sitting in some yard and can't start....

I am in Louisiana as well and just got word that mine should be arriving next week. Perhaps yours is on the same train?

Which section of Louisiana are you in? I'm right outside of New Orleans.

It’s probably all speculation, but maybe they are trying to keep from having to convert a bunch of 22s to 23s like they did with this year. I’ve seen a bunch of people already in production getting delivery dates pushed back for months due to chip holds and it will probably keep up all year too. If they are close to what they think they can produce for MY22 why keep accepting orders? It makes sense to me rumor or not.
