Has anyone ordered a Mach 1 yet

[dethmaShine]

I was thinking that, just got HP, Recaros, and red painted calipers. Also thought maybe had something to do with dealer allocation?

That is very interesting. Mine is HP too. It feels like you don't have the appearance package as well as the elite package which maybe causing this delay. Appearance package should not be an issue but maybe something in the elite package that seems to be concerning?
Either way, both happy for you and jealous.

You’re in California so winter weather is not a concern. I can understand the argument for our friends in the Midwest or northeast. I wouldn’t be thrilled about taking delivery just in time to park it for 4-6 months, the whole time paying insurance on it and you can’t even drive it. But you won’t have that issue. If you want to fly up to Everett I’ll pick you up at the airport. I’d be surprised after a quick spin in my car if you want to wait until next year to get yours
I’m sure there are people that the Mach 1 just doesn’t do anything for. Maybe it’s the appearance or maybe they are used to driving something even more fun. But for me I keep going in the garage staring at it. And the times I do take it out I have to remember that the windows aren’t tinted yet and I don’t want to let other drivers see me giggling like a girl. I pass a school on the way to work and two days ago I had a dad dropping off his kids about break his neck looking at the Mach 1 as he passed by. I can only imagine the suffering he must be going through probably wanting something like this car, while driving a Honda Pilot. And that isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone completely stop paying attention to the road to check it out. A car that gets that type of reaction is worth getting as soon as you can. Don’t wait until next year if you don’t have to

Thank you for the kind works. This is definitely motivating and what you describe is the reason why I haven't canceled it yet. I really really like it and after watching reviews for months, I like it even more.

It just sucks that i wont be able to drive it for a good 3 months more after having waited for 2 already, and this is if I go with the best case scenario for my car. The bay area is nice and fortunately this doesn't affect me as much folks on the east end but it gets darker much early and I get to mostly drive in the evenings. I guess I have to recalibrate my driving schedule so I can take some time off and do some trips.

Thanks for the wise words though. Just need some good news!

My guess is the elite package. Mine is Elite package, 10 speed, handling package, and they have pushed me clear out till mid sept.

If only there was a way to cancel it, I would cancel the elite package. Should have done custom sound.

That's what I did. JL Audio Sub

Has anyone been able to change their order once the order was confirmed by Ford?

there are ways your dealer could cancel or add to the order. It’s been done for me before. As long as it’s not deep in the process it can be done with regional manager

What color? Mine is elite pack, 10 speed, handling pack, appearance pack, navigation system. Blend date is 06/24

Maybe it's due to color?

I ordered from Zach and it was non trivial for them to change the order. My request was for the color; I don't know if that would stand for the elite package but I would guess it does.

The only difference b/w your and mine is the navigation system and HP. My order date is 4/26 and production is 9/13 week.

Iconic silver, and like the poster below I'm in the 9/13 week

I put this in the "Order" forum, but thought I'd post here too: I'm curious, is it typical for an order preview (provided by the dealer) to show a priority code of "01" a week or two after order confirmation (when it was submitted by the dealer as a "10")? This is in regards to a Mach 1 order. The Ford portal shows it was "confirmed" on May 31 (though allegedly my dealer input the order in early May).

how do you even check the priority? I got an email from Ford, but nothing as far as account information or anything so that I can check it somewhere.

The initial priority should be in the Order Summary document that your dealer provided which shows the options and cost. Mine shows 19 but I'm not sure if Zach changes it later (maybe only if asked). My build date is still set for early August (ordered 4/23). I'm guessing you'd have to contact your dealer to get/change the current priority code.

ill check on the docs that zach sent, they're at my desk at the office.
I only ordered last week, and it feels like a month already.

Priority code is 19 here.

My understanding is that an 01 code can only be assigned by a regional Ford rep, not by the dealer, and only under certain circumstances. If you call Ford to check on your order status, they can look up your currently assigned priority code.
