Thread for people who ordered a 2022 on 10/1 to post adventures

[Cobra427]

If you ordered a 2022 MME on October 1st, the first day orders were open, share your adventures and milestones as we prepress toward actually getting our cars.

It will be interesting to see who gets scheduled first and how we fit into the order queue with all the converted 2021 orders.

So far, we have battled a glitchy online order system, nonexistent email confirmations, clueless dealers, shady dealers, and other obstacles.

It's not just an order, it's an adventure.

I ordered online Oct 1 and have been working with the dealer to sign an order form and get the order processed through Fords system. I haven't received an email from Ford, but sounds like many other people haven't yet either. Already getting frustrated to see that production is delayed a month.

Mach-E Premium
Grabber Blue

Yep, ordered 10/1, the first date that the system wasn't glitching to the point where I couldn't complete the process. Premium extended range AWD grabber blue - I assume a lot of people will be going for this one, not sure if it's a good thing or not (and I'm still deliberating on changing the color to cyber orange and going for RWD instead of AWD).

Order went in, dealer emailed me quickly the next morning as if I had sent in a general interest inquiry; said they'd process it when I gave them the order number, and when I saw a day or two later that nothing had changed, I emailed them and they said I needed to come in to provide my driver's license before they could send the order to Ford, and I believe they also mentioned needing papers to be signed. I went in, the process was quick, no paperwork to sign, and when I left the dealership and checked the website it said that the order was accepted by the dealer. Now just waiting to be scheduled for production, which I don't anticipate for a few months (seems the retooling of the factory for the 2022 models was delayed until December; was originally supposed to be for three weeks in November, based on what I've read).

My dealer said they've been getting them in within 4-6 months, which was surprising to me, especially since transport to Hawaii usually adds on 3-6 weeks for vehicles. It's also faster than other people have been reporting. I'm still planning for closer to nine months, but if it's in four months I won't complain...

Mine was accepted post-order on Oct 1. I just changed the color from RR to GB after seeing a forum member's GB GT in person today in the sun. Wow! I also have a '21 GB coming next month, but I'm going to release that one in favor of a '22.

Got my "order has been confirmed" email from Ford today. The GM at my dealer said I would get one but it's been a couple weeks so I thought maybe I wouldn't. Placed online on the 1st, changed to "Accepted by dealer" on the 7th, and got the email from Ford today on Oct. 20th. Now I fully expect to be in for a long wait until I see any more movement. Plenty of time to look at reviews, find accessories, maybe line up a test drive, etc.

I ordered on 10/1, accepted on 10/7, and didn't receive the email today. I'd be curious to see if the timing of the Ford emails mean anything or if it's just due to a system backlog or issue. Guess we could find out tomorrow if they're scheduled.

I ordered Oct 1 but it took about a week to get some paperwork to the dealer (an order form with the details and a copy of my license). I can’t recall the exact date the website showed that the dealer accepted the order but around Oct 7 sounds about right. No email from Ford yet.

I've ordered on 9/23... can I join?

Chiming in to note that I ordered 10/1 and my order was accepted on 10/7 as well, but I was not asked to come in for verification or document signing. I did get a royally painful runaround which I hope is now resolved via written email assurances.

Interesting to see the difference in dealer approaches to 'paperwork' when you order online. My dealer accepted my order in his system the day after I ordered, and it took until 10/9 for the Ford system to update and show that. The dealer also told me that we don't have to do paperwork until the car is delivered. $500 deposit by credit card is all so far.

Waiting for email...

Sure. come on in. This is just a thread for those of us first in line for a '22 to see if we STAY first in line.

Part of me thinks that an actual human being has to verify the order and send the email, or something to that effect. Ford works in mysterious ways.

Ordered 10/1

Am slightly worried when Mach-E demand keeps ramping up and with such short supply this will happen

There aren’t many cars for Ford dealers to sell.
