Current time frame for from order placed to having it scheduled for production

[Elrand]

I am looking to see how long it is currently taking for those now waiting.

I place my order on Feb 26. Dealer accepted the order within a few days of that. but how long till I should be seeing a check mark next to Scheduled for production. Mostly curious on how long it takes to schedule an order for production

I ordered on Dec 23, 2020 and got the "scheduled for production" email Feb 18th for a week of April 19th production. Counting on 6 weeks for shipping and getting it end of May, beginning of June.

I ordered on 1/21. Nothing since then. My dealer is in the dark too. I’ve dealt with the same dealer and salesman for some time. I believe them.

Others have waited a lot longer than I.

Thursday seems to be the day Ford blesses us with a few crumbs of information but not every week.

if this is the model that ford is going to be moving to with other cars. they need to learn that people want information. We understand that stuff may change but at least know that we are in the que and that they will give us a production date at some point they have built enough cars over the years to know have rough times for stuff. I also understand that production schedules do have problems at times and they may not have the delta for BEV production delays yet. but at least tell us that the dealer has submitted the order if they wont give us a date yet

COVID is wreaking havoc with Transportation, parts, chips, etc. that’s making it very difficult to give concrete ETAs on vehicle. Your sales person has no excuse if they don’t keep you in the loop. But things are far from normal in the auto industry unfortunately.

“Concrete”?

I asked my dealer for an approximate delivery month. Then I asked for an approximate delivery season. Then I asked if I would get it before the next model year. Same answer to all, “don’t know”.

The virus is the excuse for everything these days. That’s old news. I’m not buying it anymore.

I will never, NEVER order another Ford again. If my regular dealer doesn’t have what I want on the lot. I’m gone.

You can probably find what you’re looking for on a dealer lot. A bunch of stock is coming in to some dealers.

That might be tough. I’ve already handed my trade in over and written the check. In retrospect that was dumb but as I said above, I have purchased lots of vehicles over many years from these folks. I never expected this sort of run around. I don’t think they did either.

How hard is it to say. you are # XXXXXX in que production date will be scheduled when you are below YYYYY so that when we look at our order page or our dealer checks on his side we can have an update

Amen! That would be enough to keep me happy for quite awhile. “Don’t know” just won’t cut it.

I ordered 1/15/21 two weeks ago got my build week email as 4/18/21. So I'm hoping I'll get my car late may juneish. but it's all a crap shoot.

I think some of it has to do with components selected, ie awd, rwd, ext battery, standard battery, select, premium, etc.

A bunch?

I'd been looking at the Escape PHEV and when that got delayed, decided to go full EV. After reading up on the Mach-e, especially here, I decided to pull the trigger and put my order in on February 24 hoping to have it by my birthday in August, 6 months later. I truly hope I get it a lot sooner, but I knew going in that it might be awhile. And I'm also hoping that the issues I read here will all be history by that point. My dealer doesn't think it'll take that long, but right now no one really knows. And with the lack of really going places with the world the shape that it's in, I can wait, but I also know that others can't. I hope that others who can't can find what they want and that makes them happy.

A bunch?

I’ve been to three dealers in a 20 mile radius of me and they all have non-first editions for sale to walk-in buyers.

So yes...”a bunch”.
