Current production date versus initial order date

[JHAZ]

A couple of questions:
1.) Does Ford use a FIFO methodology in scheduling production dates based on order dates?
2.) My order date was 3/24/22 for a Mach-E GT. Is it possible to link current production dates back to the original order dates to get an indication of when my particular car may be built?

Not really.
There hasn’t been a definitive explanation of how or what Ford uses to select orders to be scheduled, but plenty or reasonable speculation:

• Supply chain/parts availability -
  • Out of ER batteries, schedule SR builds
  • Only have Premium EAWD motors, only schedule those
• Group build dates by paint color to make the paint shop more efficient
• Missing GT interior bits, only build non-GT’s.
• GT/GTPE’s are more profitable, prioritize them.
• Larger volume dealerships get orders built faster
• Etc.
