Holy crap, that's another ball game. I could no way have conceived it would take a year for me and, apparently, neither could Ford. So, I have no idea.

Most people I talk to still do not know the Maverick exists. Once that happens it could take years for delivery if millions of people want one but Ford can only produce 100,000-150,000 per year. It is a good thing Ford has no ads for the Mav.
Their website could crash if too many orders are entered at once. Yesterday I predicted days to sell out. However, if Ford still has over 25,000 2022's that carry over to next year's model and if word gets out to get your order in on Sept 15, orders could be done in 1 day with all the flippers ordering from several dealers.

Rough translation: "I enjoy being a troll. Don't expect me to explain any claims I make, and I will ignore any effort to have a discussion with me or respond with attacks."
Yikes.

In regards to the California 2035 thing there is a loophole big enough to drive your Maverick through. What the proposed rule actually says is that by 2035 you can only sell three things-
There are going to be lots of manufacturers pushing PHEVs into California and I think that strongly supports a PHEV Maverick sooner rather than later.
- EVs
- Fuel cell vehicles
- PHEV (plug in hybrids) with minimum of 50 miles of range

You should stop stirring things up with people who are looking for actual feedback on this. There is NO WAY Maverick sells out day 1. Your spreading sky is falling stuff here. Sure it'll go fast. Months, maybe even weeks (but I doubt that). But not a matter of 1-2 days.

Not stirring anything up, just doing a little math. If millions want one but only 100k can order a Mav, isn't it possible the capacity can be gone day 1? This does not even include the flippers who will order at 3 different dealers. They alone can grab all the 2023 capacity.
Getting real with how many possible orders could be submitted per day...
- each order done correctly takes about 30 mins to enter and confirm with ROVP/COVP, etc (per my experience ordering my Maverick)
- 1 person working 8 hours with no breaks at all could enter 2 per hour = 16 per day
- Ford website claims 3000+ USA dealers
IF every single dealer dedicated 1 person to ONLY order Mavericks 8 hrs per day = 48,000 orders per day. (16 x 3,000)
This seems unlikely EVERY Ford dealer would dedicate 1 or more persons to nothing but entering Maverick orders non-stop (might violate labor laws too) and assumes the Ford server(s) would not get bogged down or crash due to heavy volume, etc. You can mix & match the numbers for different scenarios and of course YMMV

I see the heads snapping , trucks catching up to slow down beside me, on my occasional jaunt to and from work. Have seen 5 total since last year in the wild. I might order another in a slightly different config myself. It will be headlines when 23 ordering comes and goes imo
Cheers
I saw my very first wild maverick yesterday. Caught up to it right as I was about to get off my exit. Almost stayed on the interstate an extra exit just to get a look at it.
Velocity Blue, a really nice color in person. Better than I thought it would be.
They won't. If they bump in $4k, I'm getting a Manual Civic nicely stocked with a roof rack and/or a tow hitch. I'm not waiting a year for a truck if the price goes up that much and neither will a lot of people.
Thank you for quantifying what qualitatively logical people know.
Another logic point is that there isn't a reason to think demand for 100k people will be waiting to order day 1. There is likely demand to sell out and I can see a rush to order. But the vast majority of the public don't know about the Maverick. The ones that do, not that many are actually looking at getting one. Those that are aren't doing the research to line up day 1 and order. Pretty sure at a pretty major dealership Mac Haik in Houston I am the only one communicating with them about it...
This sell out in one day is silly talk.

Yes. Just a first step. Not a ban on fuel powered vehicles. There will be fuel powered commercial and heavy duty vehicles. You know what is a "commercial" vehicle in California? All pick-up trucks. It's what they classify it is, not what you use it for. Use your F-350 for only hauling kids to soccer?! Still a commercial vehicle.

If there were no parts issues, what is the maximum number of Mavericks that can be produced at that one plant ?

Why are self-charging hybrids not allowed after 2035, but plug-ins are ?

Kind of stupid isn't it? But that is the policy they are adopting.
If you ask me they looked at the numbers and use cases and realized there was no way to replace everything with 100% electric. They felt like PHEV was still "electric"- I mean look, they get the Federal rebates- so they could offer that olive branch to the manufacturers and customers that can't rely on the power grid.
