Allocation Spot and Scheduled for Production?

[ChasingCoral]

If the OKTB is truly 11/23, with the thanksgiving holiday on 11/26 it might not be until the following week (11/30).

Thanksgiving weekend is usually a big car selling weekend.

Thanksgiving weekend is usually a big car selling weekend.

Also note that Thanksgiving is an American holiday so Mach-E production should continue throughout that week....

Probably taking delivery no sooner than April and likely by summer.

Yep, that’s my thought - late Summer 2024 ?

I never had a reservation. I just ordered immediately when the order banks opened. I wonder where that puts me?

If he (@Jimrpa ) did not reserve at the beginning of the year and ordered in late June, how does he have a number like this?

Ford has always said FCTP would arrive first so customers would get to test drive one before they make their final purchase.

I think that was the original (pre-COVID) schedule. Post-COVID, I think that shifted to simply "test drive", but not necessarily in an FCTP. I think I remember them saying because of the COVID reshuffle, some people's test drive might be in their own vehicle arriving before the demo.

Right, but the cars will be in the plant parking lot on monday 11/23. assuming best case 2-3 days by rail, closed thursday, loaded on to car carriers friday...

And even in the US, I'm guessing shipping and train schedules don't take a break for holidays.

That's my question too. I reserved on Jan 9th and my "reservation" number is 5,000 higher. It's all weird.

What do you mean? Isn’t that in the middle of the pack for 50,000 orders? Keep in mind that European and GT orders haven’t happened and the first 4000 orders were reserved? So, 50,000 - 60% (Europe) = 20,000 for NA. I keep hearing 35% are going to be GTs so 20,000 - 35% = 13,000. So, I should be order 27,034 out of a total of 13,000 possible orders (including FEs).
If the factory cranks out 1,000 units a week starting at the end of October, non-stop, then either early February (if my 13,000 number is true and I’m all the way at the end) or, if I’m really order 27,000 out of 50,000 sequential, with no gaps, then end of April. I’m not sure I’m buying either tbh.

Mine is an ORDER number, not a RESERVATION number.
I have a funny suspicion that the Order numbers will determine sequence better than reservation.

As much as I want to call my dealer now - I'm going to wait till Friday to give him a ring. He never responded to my last two e-mails, which peeved me a bit... He had been very active earlier in the year.

I don't think there will be any unsold FE's in these deliveries.

It's been stated by Ford that date of reservation matters, not reservation number. Also, reservation numbers are not sequential.
