15 months wait but still no Mach E

I do not know all the particulars but I believe there was some form of credit offered to MY 21 orders converted to MY 22. Then there was an increase in MY 22 MSRP around 8 Dec 2021 in which orders placed before that date were price protected (my case.) I am fairly sure that at this point all that you have available is the Private Offer as you now have a MY 23 vehicle. As mentioned you need to contact Ford to get your private offer. There is a thread you can read discussing the issue. Perhaps in your case there may remain some benefit/incentive based on the original MY 21 order but my guess all that is available to you is your Private Offer.

People who ordered a 2021 and got bumped to a 2022 received two credits.

First one was a $750 credit for getting bumped. That came off of the post-tax sales price of the car.

Then a second credit was available for the December 7th price increase: $1000 for the base model, another $1000 for the extended battery, and yet another $500 to $1000 for a GT or GTPE. This was the aforementioned price protection. Some dealers reduced the selling price by the amount of the price protection you were entitled to, which lowered the amount of sales tax you had to pay. And some dealers opted to send a check for the amount after they got reimbursed by Ford, which unfortunately meant this came off of the post-tax price of the car, potentially losing $200 or more because of tax.

Private offers for getting bumped from a ‘22 to a ‘23 is whole other kettle of fish that I’m not familiar with. I just dealt with the ‘21 to ‘22 side of things.

WTH, you're the first person I've ever heard of that had had TWO model year conversions!

If the order was placed 15 months ago, it was for a 2022 model year car.

He stated he ordered in September 21. I think MY 22 orders did not open till October but to be honest it was before I looked into an order so I am not for sure.

Wow 15 months wait for an MME. I am simply impressed. I don't think the MME take that long to build. MME is fairly standard. It is not like those Unicorn 2 door Sas lux package broncos where people wait 2 years. I bet the dealer did not put in the actual order and forgot about it. If it is me, I would just walk if they don't offer the price protection.

Correct, because I ordered in September it was still 21 order and shortly got converted to 22

Order was placed online so I had the order info on my Ford Pass account. I actually ordered two vehicles for me and my wife from two different dealers on the same day. My wife's arrived in 6 mos with no problems and that dealer was not playing any games, it was a simple transaction. However, mine is a whole different experience. Reached out to this dealer with no help. Ford customer service has not been any help either. I posted messages on different platforms to try and get their attention. Last message that I received from Ford was last week stating that they will reach out to the dealer. No response...still waiting..... The car will most likely end up being listed by this dealer on the market as used car with 60 miles on it for a high price...

Sounds like your dealer had no allocations left for MMEs.

I don't know, all I know is that the price that I ordered my car for is not the price that the dealer is asking now that the car has arrived, and not the price that was showing on my Ford Pass just a week before it arrived.
