2022 Official Mach 1 Order Tracking Thread

[VladDracule]

The struggle is real. Especially watching your same build minus color, that was ordered this year, built and delivered. Im hopeful all of us will get our cars soon.

My wish is simpler, i just wish ford would tell me if my car is even likely to get built. I dont understand why thats such a complicated issue for them. They know production numbers, they know orders etc they should at least be able to say, nah dude, you order in June, you aint getting shizz, or yeah probably, id say 80% chance so i can just make a decision about things

Yes, transparency would be great. We all know that's not going to happen though.

POV: You placed a Mach 1 order and are now waiting for Ford to schedule you a build date

 

[jayhoogs]

That’s the worst part - there is no formal process to secure your build. I submitted my order in late March so exactly 3 months now with no word from Ford…..

I ordered 7 months ago and have heard nothing, so I’m not surprised an order as recent as yours hasn’t made progress. Although there are many that ordered well after me (and others from last year) that somehow have gotten lucky and already received build dates and even received their cars. Like everyone else, I really don’t understand how or why it works that why, but that’s just life I guess.

I don't know how you guys with orders placed last year are doing it!
It's only been a month and I'm going nuts.

It’s not a comfortable situation, family, friends coworkers keep asking me when and why is your taking so long?. I’ve been waiting since Jun 10 2021, it’s currently in transit now. You really have place order than find something else to occupy your mind for maybe 6mo or more.

Just thinking, how many dealer stock Mach1 orders have been on the books maybe as long or longer than most of us? Pretty good chance if they ordered a Handling Pack car and or one off the new colors. Are there dealers that haven't received a stock order Mach1 yet?

Are there dealers that haven't received a stock order Mach1 yet?

I'm sure there are, but not a few dealers cheated by putting their own staff down as "customer" orders. I'm sure that didn't help the execution of ACTUAL customer orders and may well explain why some dealers have "no" thru-put because they "used up" their early slots that are now only being assigned in onsie-twosie.

I'd guess Ford is also differentiating between M1 and GT/EB orders instead of treating them at equal ranking. So if say a dealer has 5 'slots' for Mustang orders being honored per month, it could be that Ford only allows 1/5 to be M1 despite the fact the dealer doesn't have 4 GT/EB to fill it's remaining slots. Any rational being would expect 5 Mach1 being scheduled if there were no GT/EB orders in any given month.

I can understand the struggle. Watched multiple orders with the exact same options get ordered, built and delivered, while I hear crickets on my 11/1/21 order.

I get it. What was explained to me from someone at Ford headquarters is that not only supply of components is considered but also the ordering dealer’s allocation status as well as geographical location. Ford doesn’t want some ordering districts to be heavy in Mach 1’s while others have little to none. They want them evenly distributed.

still waiting on mine to get to the dealer, so i tried calling CSX and tracking the car id and was told it "has been released by the customer on may 3rd, 8:40pm"
either it hasn't been loaded on the train yet (it's been reading something about a BNSF junction in Blue Island since the 13th) or sales' order tracking program is wrong about the car id or something else happened
either way, the people at El Mirage say they haven't seen it yet

Another delay, Im now scheduled the first week of August.
I swear I’m getting ready to go ballistic.

 

[Wingnutzz]

That’s crazy! Really do wonder what goes in to these changes. Yours has moved a lot — hopefully the last change!
Sure hope my Ecoboost convertible remains on schedule for week if 7/25.

Good luck Brother, I hope your date stays the same.

This right here is why people have no brand loyalty. I have personally owned 16 Mustangs since the mid eighties, I live eat
And breathe Mustang.

This experience has really tarnished a car I love, because Ford will not step up and be honest with customers.

Sorry for the long rant, this really has me pissed right now

I also received a build date delay email today.

Estimated production date is now the week of August 15th instead of the week of August 7th.

I'm just thankful to even have a build date at this point - I know I've gotten a lot luckier in the Mach 1 production scheduling lottery than many other people in this thread who (if Ford had any sense of decency) deserve to have their cars already.

Throughout my many years (and I’m an old man) I always found good, timely communications to be so important. Obviously there are many who don’t see the benefit — strange. They could easily explain the parts and supply challenges, and the way they select vehicles for production based upon type, options, etc. But there must be reasons that they don’t want to share — ie certain dealers get priority for one reason or another.

Hang-in there! Not easy I know.
