Unlikely Scenario for MY22 Fulfillment of All Chapman Horsham Orders...

[MLowe05]

I added mine. But we still don’t know allocations from Horsham that I’m aware of.

Yeah, I'm waiting until after Thursday to bother them this week, since we've had no change the past two Fridays I asked.

Do the order numbers have any significance? I know they can make them up, but I was just curious if you knew.

Hmmm, hadn't thought about taking the train up there. I had planned to drive up with my son and have him drive the old car home. Might have to reconsider...

Congrats on getting your build date! I agree that Ashlie, Tom, and Kyle, & Steven have all been awesome in responding to my (excessive amount of) emails asking for updates on remaining unscheduled build counts, monthly allocations, etc.

I'm thinking about taking a train back. They have an Auto-Train that goes from Virginia to Sanford/Orlando area and only costs $280 for the trip, cheaper than shipping. Planning on doing a one way flight to Philly, drive down to Virginia (scenic tour with DC and Busch Gardens along the way) then take the train the rest of the way down so I don't put 1000 miles on the first day.

Well, heck.

Just got feedback from the sales team, and for the third week in a row, Chapman Horsham had no additional orders scheduled. For those keeping score at home, we're still at 96 unscheduled hybrids, 85 unscheduled EcoBoosts.

Happy Friday, all.

Reading replies here more and more members figuring out Ford either has no idea how to tell the truth or I lean this way, there are 2 many cooks in the kitchen.

Me Me Me look what I can do, promote me. So they put some crap out not knowing or caring if it has any basis in fact.

You can make a terrible decision that can cost the company millions and as long as you are not sitting in that chair when it hits the fan. The current resident gets the heat.

You’ve worked in a large company I see.

Did you see my post in the other thread? Horsham told me my priority code was 10 but Ford says it is 16. Not sure that matters.

But my identical build with Ed @ Philly is a priority 2.

Called Ford today and got a VIN and build week of 6/20.

RR hybrid first edition ordered in August

Congrats, I knew yours was coming!

One additional note, Ashlie tells me they show 15 allocations for this month, yet another significant decrease in their previous average. You may recall, last month the number was 29, and they had 7 of those never get scheduled.

Given the much lower production target for July (2800 vs June's 10k), it's not surprising to see the allocations drop yet again, but perhaps it's also reflective of the current "buildability" of the remaining Chapman unscheduled orders.

In any case, may the odds be ever in your favor!

It seems we hit another chip delay; my guess. I was scheduled for next week, which held for a few weeks (and when I called last week); even had a build day. Called Thursday and was now week 5/23 (no build day). Just got an email saying I’m now 5/30. Things are changing too fast to not be a chip shipment issue. I have a feeling our chips are going to F150s

Another week of disappointment. I've just live chatted with Ford and got the same message everyweek.

 

[MLowe05]

Yeah the 15 allocations is probably a reflection of July's low production numbers. I hope they can ramp back to about 10,000 in August and September.

@theway-yay-ting Just wanted to thank you for all your tracking efforts, doing the "dirty work" of constantly nagging Ashlie! I feel it's much better to have a centralized contact reaching out instead of a constant bombardment of calls from each person who ordered.

I'm probably one of their last hybrid orders before the books closed, so I've accepted that receiving my truck this calendar year will be a welcome surprise, but I still drop in on this thread weekly to check the score.
