May production?

[Phil-Springs]

So did anyone get any response so far on May production?

I’ve only seen 1 yes 1 May production date on this forum.

I see that my Birthday is an unrealistic expectation. Nothing wrong with a little hope though, maybe delivered with a red bow on it??

Purple bow maybe?

My dealer seems to think that May is going to be mostly used to re-tool for Job 2 and then catch up on orders with April production dates that need to be delayed because of the park assist thing. He says that scheduling in earnest will resume for the month of June. So I’m not surprised that we didn’t see much scheduling based on that info. Seems like it’s going to be a very low production month.

Big bright purple bow?

I wonder if they’ve given dealers additional time to make the park assist update. I imagine that if they were to do a full schedule today, a lot of people who’s dealers weren’t proactive would’ve been skipped over.

I emailed my dealer today. They had no idea what I was talking about.

Nope, I’ve been stalking the forum. I’ve only seen 1 for 5/2 so far.

Wondering if any January orders received a scheduled production date? I checked this morning, nothing. Is there anything I can do to move my order along quicker? I’m ok with the park assist prep kit. Should I tell my salesman that? This is my first experience ordering online. I’m trying to patiently wait, but it’s hard? I ordered premium ER RWD 1/26/22 in IBSM. Order was accepted by dealer on 1/27/22. I purchased my first Ford 13 years ago, 2009 Ford Flex limited. It has been my favorite car ever. Very reliable and comfortable. At first I was looking at Tesla model Y until I found out Ford was doing an EV. It was a no brainer for me, the Mach E would be my new car love. I’m now a Ford fan since they sold me a great product so long ago. Is there still a chance at May production date?

I posted this question this morning. Im new to the Mach-e forum, so I was not sure how to ask everyone. I sent it to Ford Motor Company because that is the only recipient I could think of at the time. They responded to the newbie, how awesome!!! I’m hoping I’m doing it right this time.

I ordered my MME 7 Dec 2021 and got a "confirmation" email right away. A month later I got this email.

That was 11 weeks ago. I'm a long way from being exhilarated.
Sadly, there are many folks on this forum who have order dates weeks earlier than mine who still don't have a build date. This is probably the worst problem of Ford's ordering system and poor communication.

My Premium 4X was ordered late October. I called Ford tonight and no build date. On Wednesday I said yes to a CR1 that’s in transit. I didn’t want to lose it to people looking when they didn’t get a May build date. I’m wondering if much was done, maybe due to the Park Assist Prep Kit issue? Anyway, I don’t have to worry about getting that build date, I’m sure I’ll get my full Federal Tax Credit, and I might even prefer getting turned into a ‘23 MY.

I’m in a similar situation. I ordered a premium AWD SR on 10/19/21 and still no production date. I got impatient last month and found a cancelled order with minimal ADM. I’m happy I bought the car because I was about to devote a wall in my house to trying to decipher Ford scheduling and allocation. I’m guaranteed one tax credit and don’t want to be greedy, but if I got pushed to MY23, still got at least a partial tax credit and get what I paid for my MY21 I won’t complain!

To the OP, try to find one on the lot or plan to wait till the fall. You may get lucky and get it earlier, but most seem to be on the + side and then some. I’m on week 22 and still no production date. Ford scheduling and allocation is a giant tangled mess that no one truly understands. ZEV states get priority, GTs seem to get priority, Premiums seem to wait the longest, dealer allocation plays a major role, and unknown parts/chips/modules/components seem to play a bigger part than I think we know.

Try to find out from your dealer what your priority code is, how many allocations they have left for the year (I don’t know if anyone has found a dealer who will share this) and your number in line at your dealer.

Has anyone received a production date for May yet ? I don't see the typical build week groups pooping up yet

Thought I might, but nothing yet 6PM PDT 3-25-22
still nothing 11AM 3-26-22.
emailed dealer with question about removal of active parking assist 2.0
dealer told me yesterday (3-26-22) that none of their MME orders, including mine, had been scheduled on 3-24 for a May build date. While talking, I had them remove the parking assist 2.0 feature from my Additional Features. Looking like a June/July build date. My dealer is apparently low in allocation priorities among SCal Autonation Ford dealers.

I ordered a GT on January 31. Received a scheduled built date for week of 04/04/22 on February 10. Got my official email and VIN from Ford approximately the first week of march

Just noticed your occupation. ?

I feel your pain. I got so excited when I got “Your order is updated” email. Nothing was updated ?

I worry about the tax credit as well. That was part of my decision making process.

Thank you @TonyaE

We, IMHO, deserve a new ride. Rough few years.
