2022 GTPE Order missing Wheels?

[desertandrew]

Is the 2022 GTPE model going to have different wheels than the 2021 version? I had ordered in July, never got a build date, and then got converted to a 2022 model. Just this week, I got my build date (woohoo!), with a link to track my order on the Ford website. When I go look at it, all of the pictures don't have wheels. It seems weird that someone would go to the trouble to take out the wheels from the sample images, but they are all missing wheels. I was excited to get the GTPE version of the wheels, but don't know what I'm getting now.

Is this the new land speeder/hovercraft version? Call me Luke Skywalker

Any ideas?

Maybe Ford has subcontracted production to Apple, and you need to buy your own wheels and tires?

But you must also buy them from Apple or else CarPlay and iMessages won't work.

I think those would be included by default, but you won't get a charger regardless how you proceed. ?

Wait for the dealer "ad on" email. Oh, BTW, wheels and tires are an EXTRA $$$$ ????

That's what happens when you don't install wheel locks.

I suspect the addition of the wheels is related to some manufacturing milestone, like the car actually getting to the production floor. I’m part of the 01/10 build a gang so I’m checking the order tracking page daily. This morning I didn’t have wheels but this afternoon I do. Nothing else changed—no estimated delivery date, status change to built, nothing. Just the wheels on the rendering. Still, any progress is welcome!

It would be amazing if that were true. I'm also in the 1/10 build gang. My tracking page is still wheel-less. At least my AsBuilt page is now showing the modules being installed, so there is some progress. I'm 3587 169/301, so hopefully I'll get wheels too soon!

Yes as Glen said.......wheels and tires are now an add on option

Here are the Standard & GT options

Ford now using the Porsche configurator option to keep the MSRP low, and everything is an add-on
