I ordered my second MME on 07/6/2020 so I figured I would not see it until June. I got the email it will be produced on 01/25. That is a VERY quick turn around.
I think one of the things we are seeing is the large number of folks with reservations who have not yet converted those to orders. The last we heard from Ford, reservation holders have until the end of the year to convert. However, it appears that they will be scheduled behind all of those who have already committed to orders. They'll probably see their cars by summer.

I agree but this was a new order in late July. I should have said my reservation was July. It went automatically from reservation to order when I did it. In short reservation date=order date.

It truly makes me wonder how the orders are put in place as I have the exact same car choices but I reserved my mach e in February and placed my order August 31 but I got a build day of Jan 25th. Mind you I am in Austin TX

my second MME is the same week and I am in SoCal. Interesting. Ford must be escalating the amount of cars being produced

He meant 11/19/19. We haven’t had 11/19/20 yet!
So he reserved before you and got build date before you

You may be on to something - otherwise no way late orders are getting earlier production dates

I would say for the reservation number in 7xxx its a late build date - we have seen much later reservations scheduled in Dec and Jan.

Seems like order date is more important than anything. While I would have preferred getting the car in 2020, I didn't want a first couple weeks car. So my hunch of to wait a while went my desire.
