What I meant was Ford scheduled the remaining orders this week, for the remaining week’s upcoming in the year.
So in real life I’m a supply chain exec for a manufacturing company. Between the chip shortage, the global logistics nightmare, and the general friction from Covid I’m surprised Ford pushed out 50K MMEs this year.
I've tried doing this off and on for months and gave up. I'm tired of dealing with it all. One thing that happens all the time is lack of straight forward, time saving answers. For example: Me: "Us the car you listed on our website available?" Them: five separate emails, texts and phone, none of which answer the basic yes/no question. Or I get responses that imply that I'm an idiot for not realizing the car is a customer order, sometimes very rudely. Or I told they're not selling to out of state customers, even if I fly out and complete the purchase in person. Which they are within their rights to do. All in all, while I've kept my feelers out to several local dealers, I'm done spending time trying to find a Mach-E on on a lot within 1000 miles of me. If ford.com and the other car buying websites (cars.com, Autotrader etc) only showed cars that are actually for sale, maybe I'd be more willing to keep trying.
On the blueovals forum a Ford Moderator posted on Nov 6 that MachE 2022 MY JOB 1 date is 01/03/2022 so I believe that's when the 2022's start rolling off the assembly line. So the 2022's should be scheduled before that if they hold to their Job 1 date. I don't have any first hand info….just repeating what I read that looks credible. I reserved my Premium AWD 14 months before it was delivered on April 1st. I'm glad I had the patience to wait. I'd do it over again in a heartbeat if I had to!
Several people here - myself included - had '21 orders converted to '22s that have build dates of 1/3 week so that checks out.
My '21 was converted to a '22. It too was scheduled for 12/13, then 12/20, and now 01/03. Not holding my breath, just going with the flow.
How much ADM did you have to pay?
I look at this as a good thing. The last of the 21s are rolling off the line late november. This could indicate that Ford is making additional hardware improvements for 2022.... or it could just indicate that they dont have parts. I am going to hope it is the former.
