I haven't received the email yet, but my dealer did give me my VIN and build week. We both have the 360+ and no other packages, so that's probably why were were able to order so recently and get scheduled quickly.
I called Ford yesterday and they said no product constraints related to my order and that my dealer would have to tell me if there was an issue. Messaged dealer and they said nothing was holding it up. I am beyond frustrated with this process, as I have all of those things and its not worth it to me to wait a year for a car. I am already looking into other vehicles.
You are probably right! I just hope we don't get stuck in the re-schedule/Shipping Fog a lot of buyers have found themselves in. Well I hop you get yours as soon as possible and I will keep updating!
Do you know what your priority codes were? I order a few weeks before OB and Assist+ and nothing. I called Ford yesterday too and it was just in the queue - no constraints. Not completely frustrated yet - just curious if that priority code does make a difference.
To an extent, yes. Think of scheduling like a sports league draft. Each dealer’s lowest priority gets scheduled in “round 1.” Then the next lowest in “round 2” and so on. Allocation numbers then dictate how many “rounds” for the dealer and for the scheduling week being performed.
I also believe (though without supporting evidence) that a lot of decisions are made at the regional/zone level on how the allocations are doled out. Supply constraints are forcing not just the draft of allocation (the old system) but also for the priority scheduling and incremental allotment of COVP to be significantly less beneficial than it would be in normal times. Decisions have to be made on who gets what, and there's simply no way that will make everyone happy.
hm...has anybody removed their tow package order and got scheduled sooner? I don't plan to tow anything.
Your order is basically what I ordered in December. Still nothing… getting discouraged
Meanwhile people like me are impatient as all hell and this process is like pulling teeth.
It's on your dealer to make it happen.
According to Long McArthur channel, as of a few weeks ago, allocation orders will be put on hold into may in order to produce customer orders. Of course your order has to be buildable. I would ask for a copy of the top few lines of the Vehicle Visibility Report from your sales person. That would tell you some idea of whether your car got produced.
