Ordered 10/21 scheduled 5/2 premium ER AWD

Did you take the park assist off to update it later?

Well that is a good thing then! I know I shouldn't have my hopes up but i've basically been hoping to get scheduled for production since day 1... now I'm on day 130...

I get it! I hope you had better luck today than I did. I’m on week 22 for my premium order. I caved about 5 weeks ago and actually found one with ADM on a lot up by you. Have you thought about trying to find a Select off a lot? When I was looking for my premium I could have had my pick from Selects.

Yes I called the dealer yesterday to replace it with the prep kit

 

[AstralLiving]

Is the running recommendation to call dealers and opt for the park assist prep kit? I imagine this is for all trims? I'll call my dealer tomorrow.

Me neither. I'll have to discuss the park assist issue with my dealer. My order is Grabber Blue if that could be a factor.

Anybody get “called up to the big leagues” today? I haven’t seen any posts announcing they got a build date.

yup, my bad. even with 2,001 units sold. I can't imagine the production being that much more with the high turnover at dealership lots.

In 2021, Ford Cuautitlan (sole source of MME for US, Europe, Canadian markets) averaged around 6K units per month. Jan 2022 they did around 6K but dropped to 4K in Feb, with about half production going to non-US markets. The further "fly in the ointment" is the chip hold, since Ford apparently counts hundreds? thousands? of incomplete MME sitting in storage, undelivered, as "produced" but not yet sold. There was promise from Ford CEO Farley to push MME output but that hasn't materialized yet. They reorganized into Model e and True Blue (or whatever the old ICE Ford name is). Personally, I blame the "cryptocurrency miners" for hogging microchips. haha

Mine grabber blue too. So it could be they don't have the paint now.

I ordered 3 weeks earlier, Premium as well, no build date still. If it doesn't get scheduled for May I'll likely go hunt one down on a lot. I'm not waiting 12 months for my order.

I ordered a premium ER in Space White on 1/3. Do I need to have them remove park assist to get things moving?

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a CR1 in transit yesterday. I’ll decide on my Premium order when it gets scheduled/delivered. I really want one for the summer and even if I was scheduled for May, who knows when I would get it. The CR1 was on chip hold for two months. I was afraid to wait to hear on my scheduling for fear it would unleash a run on the few available cars.

oh nice! And yup. I am have been looking for a Select RWD with tech/comf package. just so far nothing. I will usually look every couple days

That's what I'm getting too and it seems like a pretty rare combo, especially if you are getting one of the premium colors as well. You can have your pick of Select AWD w/o the tech package though... I use snow tires in winter and there's no compelling reason to pay almost 3k more for AWD, so it means waiting, which is fine.
