I have a order number, so i will ask them for a Preview Order.
I think GT and GTPE are more profitable for Ford so they produced them more, the models like Premium and CR1 with extended battery are on low profitability side so we have to wait for them longer. I ordered CR1 AWD in beginning of February - no production week yet.... as of today I would be glad if it would be converted to '23 order with price protection rather receiving it in DecemberA bit off the thread but since it was brought up here, I'll reply here. I was bugging my dealer about the priority code "19" back in March when I was 4 months into waiting for my MME order to get scheduled. The reply was always "out of my control" or "I don't know". In May, a person in a Bay Area Ford dealership on this forum commented on my gripes:
"Mach E is handled differently than other model lines. In normal model lines Priority codes break down to the following:
Ford Internal 01-09
Dealer Retail Orders 10-19
Dealer Stock 20-79
The lower the number the greater the importance within our order bank. Priority codes don't matter outside of that individual dealer. Basically, the priority codes allow us to tell Ford which orders we'd like scheduled first if commodities allow. If all of our priorities are the same, it will pull the earliest order. Again, this is for Non-OTD orders (OTD is a newer scheduling system Ford is using, Mach-E is OTD)
Now, for Mach-E, the timestamp is the governing factor as to what order they will be scheduled. Identical units within the same dealer's order bank will be ranked by earliest timestamp, the priority doesn't matter.
Premium AWD ER is the hardest to schedule as it has the most features (CP360A+, Glass Roof, Extended battery, AWD, B/O Sound, etc...)
Premium and CA Rte 1s use two different motors, a larger, more powerful main in the rear, and a smaller, secondary for the front axle. GT uses two primary motors."
If Ford delivers per their current prediction, I'll have waited 40 weeks for assembly to begin and about 11 months for delivery. (Dealer priority at 19 all the while.) I think it's probably two factors: model-Premium and CR1 AWD disfavored, and "low allocation" dealers disfavored in Ford's allocation algorithm.
What did you ask them for that information, just what your priority code is?Order date April 5, 2022, GTPE, Cyber Orange
I just checked with Ford Customer Service Chat. Not sure when, but my order also moved from 10 to 01 !!!!!!!!!!
It may be unfounded, but when I saw that, my "small heart grew three sizes..."
Can't wait to update my Avatar!
Of course, we don't know if that means anything at this point, but it is a step in the right direction!?
How do you get to chat? I can never seem to find it...Order date April 5, 2022, GTPE, Cyber Orange
