That sucks, what is your dealer saying? Your order should have already been escalated up to the reg. Mgt. or whoever can make it the highest priority!
Got the email from Ford today, I won’t be surprised if this gets pushed back as other have, but getting the VIN and a date is the biggest hurdle so I’m feeling way better about actually getting the car now! Good luck to everyone else!
Not saying much. It’s from what I believe is a relatively high volume dealer that had a lot of orders. Some people think that’s a good thing, but so far I feel like it may only hurt. When I ask about having something done to change the priority, it pretty much gets ignored. They did tell me last week that a couple Mach 1’s that were previewing were 21’s that were reordered when they got canceled, so yes they deserve to be ahead of me. But it seems crazy that I ordered in November and it feels now more than ever like I could face the reality of the order being canceled.
Getting the VIN and a date is definitely the hardest part in my opinion. My dealer told me that there was a 10% chance of my Mach 1 being canceled and not to worry. Unfortunately, that worried me greatly. Even a measly 10% chance of me not being able to get the car made me feel uneasy. I'm a very patient person, but having the guarantee of a VIN makes the wait a whole lot easier. Also does priority matter? Mine is priority 19 and I thought that was supposed to be back of the list.
Yeah, essentially priority 19 means you’re at the end of the customer order list. But it doesn’t mean everything, from what I understand you could be at priority 19 and still get scheduled over someone with a lower priority. I also believe that once the priority goes below 10 your chances of getting scheduled go up a lot. It seems like most people get priority 2 or 1 right before they are scheduled.
I see thanks for the info, I guess it's all luck based like a drawing since it doesn't seem to be going by order.
There seems to be part of the equation that makes total sense : parts availability, options currently being produced, etc. but then there’s a very arbitrary thing where they try to spread out the supply geographically. As well as dealers with really high volume and really low volume getting cars faster than all the ones in the middle.
That makes a lot of sense, my dealer told me that there wasn't going to be a 2023 Mach 1, but if any orders from 2022 get produced in 2023, they would be 2022 models. I hope that's the case, hope everyone who ordered a Mach 1 gets theirs. I'm keeping mine, I intend to drive it and enjoy it and it will definitely be a garage queen. LOL
