YEAH>>> It's at the dealer, and since it came from the sea, no real tracking.

All 2021 Premium and GT’s came with laminated glass for the drivers door and passenger door.

When the order document came out for 2022’s, the primary changes from 2021 (besides colors) were the removal of the kick to open rear hatch…and the laminated glass was removed from all models- at least officially.

From what I can tell from others who have their 2022’s premium models only have tempered front windows.

So far it appears that all 2022 GTPE include laminated glass - but this may be only the early 2022 production.

I am not sure if GT (non PE) models have laminated or tempered.

It is my guess is there will be a running change at some point during the 2022 build where no cars will have laminated glass.

My 2022 GTPE has acoustic glass.
1/3 build week
In Production 1/12
Built 3/19

I just received this email today!

Awesome!

Is the collective wisdom of the group to not use the online “Complate Purchase” process because it shows the December 8 price increases (i.e. it does not provide price protection)?

Yeah, plus my dealership added a $5000 markup in March (5months after my order). I'm taking in the copy of my original signed quote before I talk any money.

I would definitely not complete the purchase online

For those of us who ordered after December 8, is there any downside?

Not sure…but the order date price change is 1/3/2022. If It was ordered before 1/4, I would NOT recommend purchasing on line.

How many are still left in this group that have not received their cars yet?
I have not received mine yet but it's finally in town. It's about 20 miles away. Not at the dealers yet, but it's close.

Mine has been at the dealer since early last week and in fact they have pictures of it on the website (real pictures) so at least I can look at it every once in a while. Sigh.

Still waiting, my car has been at the Wilmington Ramp for 10 days now

Still waiting, my car has been at the Wilmington Ramp for 10 days now

My train still says it arrived on 5/14 to Seattle, but nothing has changed since. It's supposed to go to Kent, WA. The train arrived in Kent on Thursday and sat there for two days, then went to Seattle and sat there for two days.
10 days is a long time. Have you contacted your rep to see what's taking so long to get it to their lot?

I contacted the dealer, he said he unfortunately doesn't have control over when the car will be delivered. Is there any way to contact United Road?

Is United Road going to do the final mile for yours? I would think they would use a local company to take it to the dealer.
I always get more info from Ford Chat than I do my dealer.

Yes, my dealer uses United Road, and I have delivery receipts for previous drop-offs, I don't have an account tho so I can't track my car.

Interesting! Just another data point, my 2022 Premium ER AWD (in production 1/5, built 3/1) has laminated glass.

Very interesting. I know several people in the 1/3 and 1/10 groups with premium models that did NOT get the laminated glass…but their cars were in production after 1/10. I think you are very lucky…
