Wish Ford could let people know if they think our Hybrid orders would be built

Wish Ford could let people know if they think our orders would be built. They should be able to be close by the amount of people that switched already.

I love your optimism. Don't ever lose that.

Me too, but the sad part is that with Ford, it will soon turn either into pessimism or realism.

It won't happen as the darts have yet to be thrown.

I believe that they will build all orders. Due to the fact that they did next to horrible research and estimation on hybrid vs EB. Right now it seems majority of Car manufacturers can guaranty a delivery. And more and more options will be available. Chip/semiconductor shortage is now delivery shortage.

I hope they don't!! Those are valuable working hours that could be put towards fulfilling our orders! Get the number crunchers on supplier relations and beef up production. I don't need to know if I'm going to get it, I need to know how it looks in my driveway.... Jokes aside, I hope 2023 is a year where optimism prevails... may your VIN be with you, post '22

The number crunchers are 1500 miles from the assembly plant. Even worse, they probably don't know a pickup from tire pump.

I doubt that, then they will be responsible if it doesn't. Right now, they got us, but ONE DAY, the consumer will have the power again....The dealers make out with our deposit money, Ford has enough work for next 2 years, so no change is in sight...

I really would like to believe that Ford could/would pull out all the stops and do this for their customers. Just don't believe it's feasible. We would need to see an immediate production increase on the hybrid side and expect the model year production to be extended into '24?

I hope I get extended into 2024.

I am am the same boat would love to know if mine will get built. Hitch issues lead me to gamble and add the XLT lux package. Hopefully it means I will get scheduled. The main perk of being an EB Maverick is at least you know you are getting a truck this year.

I've had a January 20th build date for a month now. In September it had already been moved 4 or 5 times by now. So, I'm starting to get optimistic. Don't feel too bad, I've missed some recalls and I think things are ironed out ok by now. Everyone I've talked to that has one loves it.
Will I have to come out of hibernation early?

It won't happen as the darts have yet to be thrown.

Plus, the monkeys are still in hibernation.

They gave everyone the option to switch from hybrid to Ecoboost. They haven't closed that option. To me that should say enough of their confidence in building all the hybrids.

There were orders vs capacity overage for hybrids by 50% per reports. Reports say only a small percentage of people changed over. Do the math, Ford has done likely all they will on the matter.

That depends on your personal date of manufacture and how well you have been maintained. Has your oil been changed regularly, etc?
