I consider the $1k deposit a sunk cost for a vehicle that is not yet scheduled and might not even be built. The way I look at it, I took a gamble on saving money by ordering for 2% below invoice. Gamble didn't pay off. Oh well, lesson learned... but I do have my 2021. :like:
Nice cars! Interesting that the Track Attack #21 car is Race Red. In May, I drove the Track Attack #21 in Silver, M2731. Track Attack car vs car show? Or a glitch in the matrix?
Granger might have another one, eventually, at MSRP if, and when, my 11/1/21 order ever gets scheduled.
I am so glad I found a 2021 locally with the exact same options as the one on order. I have been able to enjoy the car since February, with a Mach 1 Track Attack and two track days since...
Sorry to rain on your parade but good luck getting that combination built with an order through Granger.
Ordered 11/1/21, FJG, 10 speed auto, elite pkg (upgraded stereo), magnetic wheels, and nav (no HP). No build date as of today.
Glad I bought a 2021 with the same options from a semi-local...
I'm in the same boat. Ordered a '22 through Granger, 11/1/21 order confirmation, still no build date or VIN. Found a '21 with the same options locally for around MSRP and picked it up in Feb. Glad I did! I could have ordered locally in NH at MSRP and and had an identical '22 delivered in April...
At this point I am thinking the Ford scheduling algorithm is similar to the old Dungeons & Dragons game... If it is the first two weeks of the month, roll a 16 sided dice. if the die indicates 1, then schedule a build date. Anything else, wait 5 turns. If last two weeks of the month, wait 8 turns.
I am really glad I bought an in stock 2021 Mach 1 (M6055) in Feb 22 instead of waiting for the 2022 that I ordered through Granger on 11/1/21. Still no VIN, no scheduled June date in the last batch of scheduling. To paraphrase an old saying, "A car in the garage is worth two on order".

I went from a 2017 Lincoln MKZ 3.0 Black Label to my 2021 Mach 1. The Lincoln interior was a work of art with supple leather everywhere. The massaging seats however, were only comfortable for 30 min at a stretch, then would have to turn on the massager to ease the back pain. HPDE instructors...
That was me on the home from work today. Full tilt boogie up the on ramp, then cruise set at the speed limit.
The little WRX STI that I left in the dust on the on ramp finally catches up and spends the next two minutes next to me downshifting and upshifting (think annoying mosquito fart...
I had HVNGFUN on a Toyota 4x4 years ago. NH only allows six characters on a veterans plate, so I went with a variation on my Mach 1 and my wife's convertible.
I spent 20 yrs in the military where EVERYTHING is tracked by your SSN, and it was probably stolen and sold countless times, no longer care. If Ford or anyone else wants to track my driving habits, more power to them. I can easily picture a Ford analyst looking at my data and thinking "WTF is he...
