Hey Zach, Is that just Mustangs, Mach1's or all Ford cars and trucks? I know F-Series have been as bad or worse than Mustangs, and I heard they closed orders of Super Duty trucks for MY 2022 already.
Maybe they just have Way More Retail Orders than anyone else, but the prioritizing is at least partly on them I would think. I would bypass the sales person and contact the Dealer Sales Manager and ask them to contact the Regional Manager.
Maybe. They have a ton of orders to get through. They may be prioritizing orders based on things like if you're local, how many options you ordered, etc. It certainly feels like something is going on with them and they certainly haven't been communicating well.
Ok yeah so that’s like what I mean, I put an order in with Chapman before that and at the time, it was 19. So at this point is it possible it’s closer to 10? I guess I can try contacting again to see what they say.
Like the others mentioned, because of their advertised deal I’m sure a lot of people ordered through them, so they just have way more orders than most dealers. Also if you got the Ford confirmation email, it was likely submitted fine. Also, I checked with Ford Performance and they have the order, just still unscheduled, but that’s another way to check from an outside source. It may not even be a priority issue completely, but say a dealer somewhere has 2 orders but Chapman has 50-60 or something (theoretically), it wouldn’t make complete sense to make the smaller dealer wait until every single order from Chapman is fulfilled first, even if some of those orders were put in first. They may choose to build 1 or even both for the smaller dealer and 10 for Chapman to spread out the orders.
I called yesterday and the lady I spoke with was not helpful at all in regards to my order. I’m going to call back today to try and discuss with the general manager.
Its possible, but as I understand it, there is nothing automatic about it and they fully control that part. They could also change you to a 10, send you a screenshot and change you back to a 19 and you'd never know.
What’s the ford performance chat link?

My date moved out a week, to May 9. FP confirmed it. One week before production and Ford changes the date. At least I still have a date.
For perspective, I was just told I’m number 19 of their unscheduled at Granger with a confirmation date of Feb 23rd.
August Build maybe? That would be about average wait time for most of us Granger HP orders. First two weeks in July are Vacation shutdown at Flat Rock, unless they change it to make up for some of the previous down time. (Pretty unlikely, I would think.)
