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

Was disappointing apparently no new scheduled builds this last Thursday - I thought they had stopped and dealer orders - if that is not the case really disappointing. Hopefully next week will reveal some progress on builds.

Got the 'official' email from Ford today of my production week 04/11 and VIN.

It's pretty crazy at the factory. Our week lost 2 days while they brought the Jan/Feb chip hold cars back on the line to finish them. I'm thinking they are running more that 2 shifts, things happen in the late hours of the night. We are watching to see if they start again tonight or tomorrow morning. Tuesday and Friday were cars on Chip hold.

I received an email from Ford today just telling me my order is between the confirmed and scheduled for production status ?... Maybe this is promising? ?

I got this today. Very cryptic.

Yep, same email I got. Funny thing is my sales guy actually called me back today. No info about scheduling other than they are also waiting on Explorers and F150s that they ordered.

I did ask him about the cost and whether I would be responsible for the increase and he said my price is locked in at what they told me when I placed the order so that made me feel a little better.

I got the same email this evening - the previous email indicated that my order had been updated - which it had not - this email stated
====
While we’ve been busy working to get your new vehicle into production, we’ve run into a few delays.

Sometimes certain features or options can lengthen the time before a vehicle is scheduled for production.

I guess it is better be told there are some delays than that the order has been updated with zero difference.

Got the same email and I decided to click on view order just to make sure there had been no change in my price structure. Ford’s site loaded and said I didn’t have any orders and I started to panic thinking they canceled it but then it auto refreshed and it was there like normal. Quite the way to start Saturday.

I ordered the exact same spec on 10/2 down to the color as you and got my VIN email yesterday. I didn't order the floor mats, did you? If so, maybe that is the difference? lol. I do not know specific date when my dealership accepted the order request. I hope you get your build week shortly.

I ordered the same but I think I did request the protection package... but I'd be shocked if the floor mats were the thing holding it up (although these days, you never know). There's a lot that goes into the sequence that orders are taken and scheduled, more than just "place in line" so...

I am heartened to see people with Premium extended range AWD getting scheduled... it does make me hopeful that maybe some time within the next four weeks I'll get a build date.

Originally thought I'd get my vehicle over the summer, but now I'm thinking autumn... possibly winter. I was forecasting 7-9 months but now I'm thinking 9-12.

If floor mats are the reason for the holdup, we have a serious problem.

I’m in Colorado. Not a lot of EV love here I guess. Hoping to get scheduled soon.

I got an email yesterday from Ford saying that my build week was pushed back a week till the week of April 18th. No mention of removal of active park system.

I am less grumpy now that my car has shipped after being in chip-hold limbo since January 5th. Still have to wait 5 to 8 weeks for it to get here…

Here are the last notifications from Ford:

3/1/2022 - Your order has been updated - login to your account to see changes -- no changes
3/5/2022 - Mustang Mach E excitement - "It’s all adrenaline from here!" -- advert for home charging equipment.
3/16/2022 - A change to your 2020 Mach-E Premium Order - "Important news on the status of your new Ford." - "we've run into a few delays...Once your vehicle is ready to move into the production schedule, you’ll be hearing from us again."
3/22/2022 - Your order has been updated - login to your account to see changes -- no changes

Bottom line - getting notifications from Ford but no information (other than the delay) which indicates any changes.

An optimistic person might read the tea leaves in the 3/22/2022 notification that the order is not longer being held up up due to the "new delays" in the 3/16/2022 notification.

Anybody else getting these notifications?
