Retail orders stopping Feb 11th

I just read a dealer was told retail orders for Mach-e are stopping February 11th. Not sure if true but two different people posted from dealers.

Just did some screen captures. Not sure if true or not.

According to Jim Farley's tweet, there appears to be approximately 55,000-ish reservations/orders pending for Mach E once you do a little estimating/guessing. Understanding he does says plus and hard to pin down exact numbers.

Lightening 200,000
Transit 20,000
Mach E 55,000
Total 275,000

Not sure I understand the difference in ordering and reserving.

Reserving gives you a number in line to place an order. I have a reservation for a Lightning. I have no idea WHEN I will be allowed to place an order.

I have no idea, either….if I had to bet money, I’d wager I’ll not be in the initial 6 waves.

I know I won't be getting a 2022. But no idea when I would be able to order a 2023.

When did you reserve? I did mine early the morning of the 20th.

Same. I am like 72 on my dealer's list and he said he was allocated 9 2022s if I recall. Have to check my notes at home.

Well, Mim Miles does seem to own a Ford Dealership... or at least his family does.

I ordered my Mach E a few weeks ago which was accepted by my dealer. But a few day's before when I was talking to them about possibly placing an order vs finding one on the lot somewhere they said "If you plan on ordering you should do it sooner than later." It kind of got my attention because why would they say that? They didn't seem pushy at all to purchase from them and it was more of a "get it while you can" vibe. Could they have known something a few weeks ago? Maybe not but it is weird what they said and now Ford is possibly halting orders on most EV's. First the Lightning, then Maverick, and maybe Mach E?
