Another email that tells us nothing we don't already know. How about giving us numbers. How many June orders are still pending? How many July orders are still pending? Aug? Sep?

WTF

 

[Samus L. Jackson]

Remember when this e-mail was supposed to come on the 13th? Is this another hoax?

Hard numbers and projections so we can make an informed decision would be nice.

Too much or "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain", talk coming from Ford Corporate. Even the dealears don't "Know"...

How many times are they going to send the exact same information? That's if it is sent, or just more Ford fostered obfuscation.

Just another sorry, our procurement department sucks and we cannot build your truck. Plus ford announced yesterday they are planning to produce 150k lightnings. That is where all the Maverick chips are going.

Did the last email go out to only those who were COVP as well?

I don't blame their procurement department at all. I am a production planner and we are getting 40+ week lead times, and things that should be here by now are getting delayed because of their suppliers. I'm over the daily shortage meetings. I can't even imagine what a big company is dealing with.

We'll see if I get an email, I was given a VIN a few weeks ago and a build week.

According to this forum Ford is dammed in they do and dammed if they don't. Look, I hate waiting as much as the next guy, but asking them for specific numbers/dates is only putting them in a position to have to disappoint people later on if they hit other bumps in the road. And honestly, I'm sure they don't known reliably if their orders for parts will be filled and on time, either. I'm sure what they DO want to do is build trucks, sell trucks, and count the money. The world is messed up right now. Ships are backed up 100 deep at ports. China is in Covid lockdown. Trucking companies can't find enough drivers to move goods.

You'll never get a straight answer on that from any car manufacturer.

I doubt there's much overlap in terms of part numbers, but perhaps they've prioritized manufacturing the Lightning modules over cheaper vehicles.

Makes sense.
