There doesn't seem to be any sort of consistent standard. I ordered on September 1st, got a build date on November 4th. Car started being built January 4th. So, for me, it was all of 9 weeks to get a build date, but as we can see from other people, it's been 6 months or more before they get a build date.
Could be soon. Could be longer. Most likely less than a year. That's as accurate as any info is on this topic. Anybody telling you different doesn't really know either.

What is your exact build? We've been noticing AWDs are taking longer to schedule.
California Route 1 AWD, there are no other options for it as it comes standard with roof and blue cruise and extended battery. My dealer did remove the park assist from the order.

What has been the average time between build date and getting a production date? I'm on my 4th month and have not got one yet.
I ordered mine online on June 27, 2021. I got the build date in October, and after a few delays and conversion to a 2022 model, it was finally delivered this Tuesday (May 17th). So about 11 months for me.

Dark Matter Grey Premium AWD, extended range with floor protection mats. Lost the touch-less lift gate.

For Mach-E the priority doesn't actually make a difference, Ford goes off of Commodities, then timestamp for Mach-e, unless something has changed. It's likely all of Tustin's orders are P19.

I believe so. I don't know the ins and outs of supplier parts acquisition, but I assume they're projecting that they'll have the parts ready at the time of build. If they don't or there's a disruption, they move builds around.
Thanks for the reply. My understanding is that "Ford Scheduling" will not schedule an order from a dealer that has assigned 19 as dealer priority (it is rock bottom rating within dealer's purview.) If Ford Scheduling encounters a dealer in the allocation roulette that has ALL priority 19, dealer will be passed over, i.e. no orders scheduled, no matter the model. In this theory, dealer has to raise one to 10 before they can get any of their orders scheduled. If priority doesn't matter, and model does matter, then Premium AWD ER red orders will remain unscheduled as long as Ford Scheduling continues to pass over those retail orders for other reasons, no matter how long that order has been pending. Why wouldn't a dealer just keep putting dealer orders at top priority for their dealership, then sell the rejected orders when the retail buyer gives up hope and yields their order after 9 month of waiting? It does appear that a dealer priority of 19 has no chance of ever being built, regardless of model. It's really hard to get info on this subject.

FWIW 5 of our 12 scheduled orders this week were CA Rte 1 AWDs. Check with you dealer to see if it scheduled this week.

Mach E is handled differently than other model lines. In normal model lines Priority codes break down to the following:
Ford Internal 01-09
Dealer Retail Orders 10-19
Dealer Stock 20-79

The lower the number the greater the importance within our order bank. Priority codes don't matter outside of that individual dealer. Basically, the priority codes allow us to tell Ford which orders we'd like scheduled first if commodities allow. If all of our priorities are the same, it will pull the earliest order. Again, this is for Non-OTD orders (OTD is a newer scheduling system Ford is using, Mach-E is OTD)

Now, for Mach-E, the timestamp is the governing factor as to what order they will be scheduled. Identical units within the same dealer's order bank will be ranked by earliest timestamp, the priority doesn't matter.

Premium AWD ER is the hardest to schedule as it has the most features (CP360A+, Glass Roof, Extended battery, AWD, B/O Sound, etc...)

Premium and CA Rte 1s use two different motors, a larger, more powerful main in the rear, and a smaller, secondary for the front axle. GT uses two primary motors.

I suspect that this is the reason that GTs and RWDs are easier to schedule. Ford likely ordered less of the smaller front motors initially because of the desire for maximum range in the EV space. I also suspect that they anticipated higher take rates of GT vs. Premiums. This is not based on any sort of internal knowledge, just my experience and looking at the orders that are scheduling.

I can't see your dealer's order bank, but I can see mine, and there are definitely trends in what orders are being scheduled. Premium ER with AWD are my oldest unscheduled orders, then Rte1 AWD, then Premium RWD std range.

All of my orders are P19, except for two that customers specifically asked me to change to P10. Neither of the P10s have scheduled. One of those that hasn't scheduled is a RTE 1 AWD, 5 others with P19s scheduled yesterday because they have earlier timestamps.

Thank you for your excellent explanation and quick response.

What dealer are you working with, I have a couple of contacts down there.
Autonation Ford Tustin, Elmer is decent, qualified person who largely gives me shrugs or "I don't know" when I ask questions. Don't know if "blame" is appropriate at my stage of knowledge and do not assume that an individual deserves any, or the dealer, or the "crypto currency miners" for hogging all the microchips. ;) The real test will be in honoring the price protection and no-ADM promises.

Don't know them over there. The salespeople normally don't know or necessarily care about the process.

I finally got my dealer to provide a order number. What is a priority 10? Is that a good thing? I ordered from the dealer on may 19th/22 Canada. MME AWD SR premium in black. Status unscheduled-Clean.
