Just happy and surprised at same time. Late reservations getting scheduled in Jan and Feb. I wonder how Ford is doing this given the previously discussed limitations of plant capacity of 50K per year and limitations on number of batteries available. If reservations in the 70K , 80K and beyond are being scheduled now for Feb and production say is completed in march - what would they be building in March? More Mach Es - if so which bucket? GTs? They should de bone with Intl reservations too by then. This scheduling if linear implies all reserved orders (upto say 80-90K reservation numbers) complete by March. So what is left after March beyond GTs? Normal for stock production?
It seems a very possible answer is that there is nowhere near 50,000 orders. Or, scheduling has a big noise factor.

based on information elsewhere on here, I have high confidence orders are substantially above 50,000. perhaps @trutolife27 can chime in with his patented insider knowledge.

True, it is a bit lighter than I generally prefer but it's a great, bright blue.
One of my favorite shots of it confirmed that it's bright in any light.

Grabber blue in Pac NW "sunshine" - my phone pic through the windshield didn't really do it justice - it was amazing in person... LOL I ordered it and hadn't even seen it in person - love at first sight and I am NOT a blue car person...

I think it is scheduling and plant logistics. I do believe the confirmed orders are high

I called the Ford MACHE hotline today asking for the VIN and they told me to call the dealer. Sent the dealer an email and crickets as usual. They had all my info but said their system does not have the VIN info. How are folks going about getting the VIN’s?

I just emailed my dealer - is there a build date available - and he responded with the VIN number and date. Not sure if there are different systems or delays with VIN showing up in the dealer systems. But my dealer did not have a build date yesterday but today he had both the date and VIN

Definitely lighter than those. For me it's just the shade and the depth of color. I love that first one. Looks more metallic, has more depth, and even has a hint of green in it. But the 2nd is much flatter, and more baby blue.

But it's just a personal preference thing. I know some just love the GB. Definitely stands out.

I really wish Ford had offered the MME in Velocity Blue.

Probably because the build schedules come out on Thursday.

Ah yes, the famous picture of the 4 infinite blue MME's under the yellow lights. Truly amazing color isn't it? ;)

Keep in mind reservation wise almost 35% were GT's. That makes current production a bit "easier." Easy being a relative term.

It still doesn't account for some of the oddities of the production schedule though. There's a lot we don't know.
