So how far out will they schedule the build date

They usually issue a VIN and window sticker with the blend date anywhere from 2-3 weeks to a few days before the build happens. Regardless, someone should’ve heard something by now.

I’m betting we might have a couple, but I suspect we’ll start getting VIN’s and build dates next week.

It is Thursday. I am hoping we will see a few today. Flatrock opens next week, right?

I might be insane, but I placed a second, backup order for another Mach 1 at another dealer. No deposit required and only change is Iconic Silver.

Yes Flat Rock opens next week... wasn't sure if they would schedule today or not, but I hope so. I've got an October order that I'd love to see scheduled.

As a side note I'm seeing a lot of dealers wanting cars that are telling customers give us your information, no deposit no obligation and we'll place an order for you. One in particular was offering to place up to 3 orders per customer. It's a win-win for the dealer another car ordered and if the customer cancels they have a car they can mark up when it arrives. Some of you will probably not like me, but I did place a second Mach 1 order with this dealer in case my local dealer plays games when my original car shows up.

This seems to become common practice now. I literally heard a radio commercial in Tampa for a Ford dealer giving customers options to avoid paying high markups, order your car and pay MSRP. "Most cars arrive in 6-8 weeks" LOL ya right. Point though is that its seemingly common now if you want a car and avoid paying crazy markups

I agree, I just thought the zero deposit and no obligation and 3 orders a customer is a bit over the top. I could really see them placing a bunch of inventory orders as customer orders. But everyone is probably doing it. Hopefully my October order gets scheduled soon.

Word from people who know, say that Ford really, really frowns upon this practice. Who the heck knows if they are doing anything about it.

So far the only HP M1s with build dates are all scheduled for April. Of the two I've heard about, one was 4/9 and the other 4/26. Sounds to me like most HP cars will be built after April.

These are confirmed hp cars with emails confirmed? Haven’t seen anyone post a screenshot of a hp build email

Seeing this makes me wonder when those of us with non-HP cars will get a build date

Now that a lot of older HP orders are no longer material hold, my guess is the older HP orders will be ahead of the newer non-HP orders....at least I hope so because of my situation. Then again if there is a material constraint due to HP parts (wheel supplier or spoiler supplier out of stock) that would go out the window.

I feel like that would be most fair, but I suppose we will find out once Flat Rock reopens – Ford's building system and tracker are so wonky and unreliable, lol.

Although, even though I didn't order an HP, I've seen people who ordered PP GT's like 2 weeks or more after I did getting build dates before me...so impossible to say really. I am starting to think that they pull orders from a fishbowl like it's a lottery at the factory, lol

Same. Hoping my order gets a VIN and build date soon. Feeling optimistic now that the hold for the delayed builds is over.
