It was built 6/18. Delayed some more. 7/26. But i don't believe this either.
I'm considering canceling and wanting for next gen. At this point best case scenario is i get it in August and drive it for 3 months. Then it stays in the garage for winter and it's a year old and a generation old.

Current chip industry predictions are that shortages will continue through 2022 and maybe into 2023. Raw material prices for chip manufacturing are rising 20-30% with expectations for price increases to keep occurring. The increases will be passed along to end customers.
If the above holds true we can expect 2022 model year build problems and significant price increases.

Yes. This is one thing keeping me from canceling. If i order a 2023 s650 next year it will be the same thing or worse. It a chip shortage issue not a covid thing. It's not going away anytime soon.
The other is we know nothing about the s650. I might not even like the way it looks ect. Hard to say I'll just get that when i don't know anything. Thus is probably why we don't know. If it was fully announced no one would buy current mustangs, they would just wait.

Treefrog.... stick your orange stickers on that car! You've waited this long. You will be very happy soon.
Look, I bought a 67 Shelby GT350 in 1973 and I still own this car. I was the original buyer at the dealership.... I got impatient... I walked. Only to know who bought it because the dealer had to make just one call. So 6 years it took me to buy that car from that first buyer. I still have that Shelby. And here we are 48 years later and all I gotta do is walk into my garage, open the door, turn the key and go.
I've owned many Mustangs... I still have four. My latest is the 2020 Race Red PP2 6 speed, 401A, leather recaros, magnaride and on and on..... Bought it from a dealer brand new on the lot in Omaha and had my transporter deliver it to me last November here in CT.
Patience is a good thing to have. Difficult times.
As an investor I've been buying semiconductor / programmable logic companies and have been for years. The race red PP2 was paid for by a portion of the money I made owning Nvidia (NVDA).
Go with the flow and find the opportunities when bad times happen.
Soon you'll be sitting in real performance and the wait will be worth it.
And this too shall pass. Luck and good times are around the corner!

I just think its strange that a car can be built and they dont have a better idea of when it will ship? The dealers should know when a truck is scheduled to arrive? With the amount of money that is on one of the trucks i would think Ford would be tracking where it is every step of the way? Dont they know how many cars fit on a truck and when the trucks will arrive, load and leave?
