What time (AM/PM) does 23 Ordering Open on Aug 30th?

[DadwithaMach]

I know tomorrow (Aug 30th) Ford.com will release the ordering page, but does anyone have time (AM/PM) when it launches?

I saw something that it was 4pm Est but IDK how true it was and ever since then nothing has come across on any posts/articles/talking

Well, I can tell everyone this, I went over to my Dealer Website and under their "Custom Order" section it was updated to 2023... I was able to go through and configure my 23 with updated pricing and submitted it to the dealership... I did notice however there are some "22" wording on there but nothing to a point were it was saying this is a 22... Everywhere was showing the 23 and the new colors and the Nite Pony Package.

So, it looks like it's live but just not on Ford.com site so Dealers are taking orders right now .

For those that haven't ordered a Mach-E before:

- You haven't "ordered" until you put in an order on Ford.com AND the dealer accepts it AND Ford accepts it.

- Orders are processed in the system once a week, on Thursdays.

- If you don't order online as intended, you lose the ability to track via the Ford.com site. While that tracking is barely useful, ordering at the dealership loses you any visibility to that.

- There is no "priority" based on when you put an order in, nor on when the dealer accepts it. Everything is based on dealer allocation combined with Ford scheduling. That's why an order place in May 2021 with a high volume dealer in a non-ZEV state didn't get made until January 2022 (finished on March 1st).

- The dealership coding your order a 10 or a 19 only matters within the dealership's own orders.


I'm sure ordering experts will correct any mistakes I made above.

My dealer and saleswoman has accepted it and will input the order tonight

All the others I'm use to since I ran the course with a Tesla... No one gets any info on their builds with them... You put in $250 and then hope for the best, no emails, no updates nothing... You can keep a calendar and guess when yours might be up for building

All your other info is interesting, thank you for commenting
