📬 2/16/23 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOT YET ARRIVING]

[bartmcneill]

My dealer called a week ago and offered me a Lariat Hybrid that should be coming in April. I took it. I have a Lariat ecoboost on order but from what I hear they are not building them for a while. I'm going to keep my ecoboost order also. It may not get built until 2024 and if I don't like the hybrid I can sell it and get the new one.

If you are a betting person, you should consider going to buy a lottery ticket this weekend!!! Congrats on having a path toward getting a Maverick Hybrid this year.

Smart move!

I received a "supply chain issues are causing delays" email this evening. It currently is "in production" with modules online from the Motorcraft search engine. Not sure what the hold up could be

I seem to recall that last year, the week after a “cleanup scheduling” week, they often wouldn’t schedule at all. So if this was a cleanup round, maybe nothing next week either?

In any case, today is #479 for me, and doing the math, I am amused to see that day#500, just three weeks away, also falls on a Thursday. It would make a fun story if that happens to be my day.

I didn't get an email today, but I did get this...

Day 484.

It is a bit redundant, but I think the Ford calendars have gotten messed up, maybe by one of the aliens from the objects shot down LOL. When they now say your build is moved from the week of 2/27 (Monday) to the week of 3/3 (Friday), you know calendars must be messed up. Last time I checked week did not start on Friday. Given this, maybe the normal Thursday emails will now arrive on the following Tuesday or Saturday or who knows. Obviously Ford does not.

Not sure what the record is, but are you trying to set a new one? The way your luck is running, looks like Ford may have moved to a century calendar, not a weekly one LOL. This has to be more than frustrating.

Does Ford send scheduling emails any other day than on Thursdays?

Occasionally some on Fridays, but not often.

483 days for me and counting...

I am also waiting for a Lariat EB. I have not heard they are not building these for a while. Where did you hear that?

The "normal" process is that you get a "week" (starting on Monday) and as the vehicle gets closer to production, you get a "day".

My Bronco Sport "week" per the email, was 2/20. The tracker is now showing a build day of 2/23. Yes, I understand it still says "week" on the tracker, but that label does not change as the day during the week gets determined.

So you are saying the original week of 2/27 (Monday) is still true, but now the 3/3 (Friday) is the scheduled build date. If so, that makes more sense. Only problem with a Friday build is tequilla flowing and getting ready for weekend party LOL. Hope you are right and thanks for the clarification my friend.

I am not sure if this is the right place to put this but my build is scheduled for the week of 2/27/23. I received the notice a few weeks ago. I have on order an Alto Blue XLT Hybrid with the 360 package, Tow Hitch, and rear sliding window.
The problem is now I am no longer sure if I want it anymore!!!! Anyone dying for an Alto Blue Hybrid fast? You might be able to twist my arm.

Maaaaan....if it wasn't in NJ I would be ALL OVER this.
