Getting a 2021 in two weeks instead of my ordered 2022... good idea?

[skovatch]

Hi,

I ordered a Rapid Red/Black interior Premium with extended range and RWD in mid-October, and settled in for the wait. Yesterday, however, the dealer I ordered it through said someone had cancelled their order for a Premium in Space White/Gray with otherwise identical specs, and would I like to take it instead?

Given that I don't know when my 2022 will arrive, and that I'm not attached to any color as long as it isn't black, I said I'd take it. It'll be here in 2 weeks!

I haven't seen any major differences in a '21 vs. a '22 -- am I missing out on anything? I'm guessing software upgrades would bring the 2021 up to whatever the 2022 has.

And as an aside, has anyone else been contacted for a deal like this? I get why they would rather sell me something now rather than later, but I hope there's no dealer flimflammery going on.

The only major difference is in software. We will see OTAs to bring the 2021 s up to the same software levels, but the ‘22s will ship with the newer software for quite a while before we see any ‘21s get it. ??

The just announced 2022 price increase, will it affect your order? $3k….

Is it confirmed that the '21s will get the battery capacity increase by OTA? It is assumed that this is done by just reserving less of the buffer, but I didn't know that anyone had solid confirmation that this is the case and it is coming the the '21s. That would keep me in a '22 order if there was uncertainty on that front.

Otherwise I would be fine with a '21.

It’s not hard-set in stone but Ford officials have hinted at it being an OTA for previous cars. ?‍?
