Too good to be true, Ford just grabbed the football away and I fell down.
Changed my ETA again back to May 19-25 Womp Womp

I got the same email.

I'd take that heart break right now. I'm two months past when I went "in production" and there's still nothing happening.

I'm exploring my first CaRt1 AWD...... Every day I love it more and more.......... It is an amazing car.

Do you want a fresh picture?

My scheduled delivery date was removed just like many people on this thread. Haven't got an e-mail from Ford, which sounds like it isn't dependable anyway.
I looked on Ford's order page and a new customer can only order a Select or a GT with 20+ week wait! I did see two Mach-es in Boise this week so some people are getting them. There are a ton of Teslas here.

This sure is frustrating. I have been watching the various build weeks out past 2/7. I see people in all of those build weeks that have received Built emails and delivery dates, even taken deliveries, while our build week essentially has no progress. Those cars were ordered months after many of ours and are in later batches. To be fair, there are people in those weeks still on hold. Some people getting their cars in like 20-24 weeks from ordering. Thought it might be a good sign that the delivery dates went away indicating that they had chips and would be giving us revised dates that were sooner. Now some folks are getting emails with new dates and then they are being taken back and moved into May and June again.

It seems like this is basically going to be First In, Last Out. We were the earliest build week and totally stalled. I suspect they just put the chips in whatever cars are on the line when they receive them while ours sit in a soccer field just enjoying the elements. Since they have stopped a lot of the orders, will they just build the upcoming scheduled weeks and then finally pull ours back to finish at the end of the year? My biggest concern is that we get pushed into July that then puts us in the 3rd quarter when they are projected to cross the threshold that makes the tax credit go away. That plus low voltage battery problems from cars sitting on a field for months.
I sure hope I am reading the tea leaves wrong. Does anybody have an intel that would indicate otherwise? It would be nice to know if the outlook was brighter.

That plus low voltage battery problems from cars sitting on a field for months.

At least it should only be a problem with the auxiliary lead acid battery. The main lithium batteries are solid.

Joining the group of those whose built notices were followed up by a postponement delivery e-mail.

“Your vehicle’s previous estimated delivery range of March 19, 2022, and March 25, 2022, has been updated to between April 23, 2022, and April 29, 2022.”

I ordered in May of 2021 and just received my built date. I've watched a lot of people get their cars weeks after ordering. Some dealerships have priority over others. It's crazy.
