Got a build date this week.
After ordering 5 months ago I finally got a build date !
It is the last week of November.
So that makes 7 months....with shipping ...at least 8 months.
I may be the last of the 21's !
I wonder it FORD could delay my build a week or two and make it a 22.
Any ideas how I could do this
Dealer thinks I'd start from scratch !!

Don't change a thing! The '22s may not ship out until December with arrivals maybe in February if you're super lucky! I strongly doubt the '21's will lose much value at all given the model's extremely high consumer demand!

That can’t happen. You already have a 2021 VIN assigned. They can’t just decide to make that VIN a 2022.

you're getting an awesome car, much sooner... I got moved to a '22 and I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat.
I surely hope that you won't have to wait 5 months to get a build date that's 2 months in the future, then another month at least to get shipped.
My son ordered a Tesla Model 3 a month after I ordered my Mach e and he took delivery a week ago !!

I’m right there with you. I ordered 5/21 with a build date of 11/22, will be 2 of the last few hundred cars built. Honestly the MY will not make much of a difference until this whole chip shortage issue is a distant memory, hardly any dealers have any stock of anything. My MY19 Ranger is worth $5k more than I paid for it. So clearly age is just a number now and for the foreseeable future.

This is better than ordering over five months ago and not having a build date at all.

You might be getting a notice this week that you are getting a 22 model

I ordered 5/14 and got assigned a production week of 11/22. Didn't get assigned that slot until the middle of September. DMG Premium Ex AWD. In the meantime, my dealer had someone else drop out and I'm taking that order. Same car except Rapid Red. Its on the proverbial train to KC (maybe arriving there today?). I hope to have it in about 2 weeks. Someone else will get my original order when it gets delivered to CO in January.

But your son will be in a car that 1000 other people are in while you'll have something probably no one in your area has seen before.

I've seen 2 MME ever in my area so far, probably seen 1000 Tesla's on the road and they all look the same.
