Ford site just updated, Premium now 6+ months order time ?

Fantastic gateway phev for me

oh for sure. as I've said repeatedly on here, I my 2013 Fusion Energi. It's actually getting some minor repair work done at the dealer right now (the bungled door latch recall and some switch bits, that kind of thing) because I for now am keeping it and want it to be tip-top.

(it's actually in some ways better than the Mach-E)

hopefully the extended times on the non-GT trims means they are going into full GT production for a little while instead of just fitting them in WITH the other trims. I know, very selfish thought. ?‍

I ordered a premium AWD ER on 2.21. Star white-I still don’t have a build date. I See a lot of March/April orders with build dates so I’m not exactly sure how they are being scheduled.

In the same boat, no rhyme or reason to the process it seems ?

Just looking at the table over on the order tracking thread, my eyeball assessment suggests that the Selects are getting production dates sooner than Premiums, and Premiums with ER and AWD are most popular and seem slowest to get dates.

Don't worry, as soon as you figure out Ford's pattern they'll change it.

I placed my orders (Premium, extended, AWD) on 5/3/21 and the screen showed 24 weeks, or approx 5.5 months.

By the time we go to the dealer to pick it up, 3 or 4 other SUV/crossovers will have launched. Seriously.

LOL, likely true... and it will be 5.5 months to get those, too. Unless they are really awful... then likely a little sooner because no one wants one. Unfortunately that is not the case here.

If you really want this car and don't want to wait 6 months, just check the Ford inventory page everyday (ideally multiple times per day) and call any dealers that show they have an MME in stock. Chances are it's not available (already tied to a customer order, still in transit, etc). But orders get canceled everyday so it's a matter of getting lucky and finding one that you like and is available for sale.

You'll have to be flexible on things like color and X plan availability. However if you're willing to wait then you might as well pick up a MY21 later this year once the MY22 gets released.

I think this is right, when the original builds got scheduled last fall, it seemed like the SR reservations were much likely to get an earlier build because so many people wanted an ER Mach-E.

They probably try to go roughly in order but seem to need to schedule a certain variety of trims for any given week.

I’m sure there’s a reason for it but seems odd to not prioritize the more expensive vehicles. Maybe things like the glass roof or batteries are slowing them down

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. My order was identical to yours but six weeks later. I was expecting a Frunk for Fourth (of July) party. But unlikely..

I wish they would do a better job of communicating. Ordered a rapid red ER AWD two months ago and no build date. Dealer doesn’t know anything either.Pretty sure the 8-12 weeks to delivery I was told when I placed the order is hopeless

Yep. That was never real.

You’re headed down a path very familiar to many of us. I didn’t get any information from anybody until the 12th week when I got a build week. Now I’m on target for a 24 week delivery if nothing changes.

WOW, I ordered a rapid red, AWD, ER two months ago as well. The dealer told me it would take 8 to 10 weeks for delivery! LOL! I knew this was way wrong but just smiled and said; OK sounds good. Flash forward 2 months - don't have a vin or build date yet. Dealer has no idea. I asked and they just started mumbling about chip shortages. I figure I will get it when I get it. Not a day sooner.
