Nothing here. Last message was December 19th, 2022. That was from Oct 25th. Just in time for a rail strike. I wish I could demand 24% more in pay and cripple an economy if not.
I'd be happy to get pushed, cuz at least it'd mean I was scheduled. Sigh....

i took delivery this past summer after having my build date and also the delivery date pushed too many times to count....ford never even told me my mav was at the dealer....my dealer was a better source of info than ford...
This does not surprise me at all. Definitely seemed like a suspicious amount of scheduled "high constraint" orders. Felt similar to the the huge influx in scheduling that happened in late July that most of which ended up getting canceled.
I'm going to sound like a conspiracy theorist here, but I get the feeling that Ford realizes that prioritizing old orders would mean a significant number of cars sold in Q1 into Q2 would have a private offer attached and therefore not make as much money as they could. So they are trying to spread them out so profit numbers look better. I think that was the intention when they didn't take re-orders before new orders, and when they scheduled more constrained cars than they could build for November and December. Now they can push these scheduled ones back to reasonable dates, and sprinkle in these new rollovers within them to saturate the amount that are sold with private offers attached, with ones they are getting full price for.

I got pushed from Dec. 12 to Dec 5. But again I have an Ecoboost as well.
I ordered a Lariat on 9/17, Atlas Blue, EcoBoost, power moon roof, lux package, co-pliot360 and co-pilot360 assist pkg. Never received any email from Ford about the order (and still haven't). When I called 800-334-4375 toward the end of Sept, I was told Ford had my order and it was "scheduled clean".
I called today and was expecting to be told the same thing, but instead was given the VIN, a 12/12 build date and an ETA of 1/9 - 1/13. I expect those dates will change, but was very surprised to get a VIN since I'd never gotten any email from them (and the lady on the phone confirmed the email address they have for me is correct).

December 12th pushed to December 19th
Reordered XLT Ecoboost Lux, 4k, FX4, Remote Start.
If I had to guess, this has to do with the railroad strikes.

Do yourself a favor and don't sweat it. All of you.
My build was pushed back a month. Then moved forward 2 weeks. Then moved forward another week. Then it was shipped and it was a week late.
Guess how much of that I could control? Absolutely none of it.
Guess how much I stressed by not paying attention to it?
Absolutely none of it.
When you get your Mav you will be happy as can be. Enjoy.

yeah, nobody is "sweating" it. It's just sharing information. Save us the parental treatment, please!

Speak for yourself! My car's in rough shape. I've already pushed my car long past where I was expecting to have to. I'm holding out hope that my timing belt hangs on for a few more months instead of putting $1k into a car that's worth $2-3k tops.
A week or two may actually matter if my timing belt snaps and my engine blows up.
