📬 6/22/23 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOT YET ARRIVING]

[gator_dub]

I understand its the way of the world and figured a couple may have gotten bumped ahead of me, but being told I was one of the first on day 1 of ordering banks, that it was a good sign (I assumed everyone should be same priority code). But when I would go in for service every 2 months or so (I do a decent amount of driving) I would go and talk with my sales associate (as I was already at the dealership) asking if there are any changes or updates. I was always told, just to wait and when it gets scheduled, I would get the Ford email and the dealership would also be aware at the same time. Nothing like what Tim continuously posts and streams with information. Always things changing and updates.

But with the constraint items of this and that on one week and not the next, I was skeptical that maybe my vehicle could be previewing but had this or that on it which (if removed) would have been scheduled. (I do have a pretty loaded order). One of the previous times I had service, I asked the associate to see how many orders they actually have left, and thats when he came back and said there are 42 and I am 37th. Finding that out and how many allocations they get was like pulling teeth from them. They didnt seem like they wanted to tell me.

But without me asking on my own, I would be just sitting at home for a year or so with just a couple emails from Ford and thats all. Not a single contact from my dealership with any general updates or anything like that. But again, "one of the first orders" to bottom of the list means that they put a good chunk of people before me. That's what hurts. And I have been a longer term customer to this dealership of 13+years of constant service. I only bought 1 vehicle but 95% of all the work done on it was at the dealership...so I may not be buying vehicles every year or every other year, but all the work done on it is by them...

@gator_dub i agree with placing multiple orders at different places. And I was aware allocations are king. I guess I was not aware or ever made aware that a ton of other orders were going to be given priority over mine. I figured early order even with small allocations = better chance....vs my.... tons of orders before me now with small allocations = no chance....

Yep same here. I have always had to be the one to push communication with my dealers. I still haven't learned officially what their allocation looks like that's why I just chose the two largest dealers in my area to have a fighting chance. Despite being told my order is #1/up next, I have always assumed that friends/families orders would be placed ahead of mine. Sucks but until we move to direct sales through Ford it's the reality.
The whole process sucks and is pretty broken.

Has anyone confirmed there will be positive emails sent today? Seems like last week’s numbers would cover the entire month.

With Ford, you never know but the last scheduling skipped the weeks of 8/7 and 8/14

I think im just more annoyed with the fact the phone call with sales manager yesterday that he was pissed off at me. Like thats now how this should be. I should be mad that I dont hear anything and still waiting. I was aware it may not get built due to constraints and I am ok with that. But then being told everyones order was fairly done, then me asking if any orders other than the rollover were given something other than 19....and he hessitated....told me enough. He then explained that all the orders were all done fairly, and some orders had "business decisions" that were made on them....aka cut to the front. but 6 months of allocations and then I find out im still 30+vehicles away....and I was '"one of the first orders". it was never about allocations or constraint items at that point that are holding my order back. it was all the orders that cut in front of mine that screwed me over. Obviously if there were more allocations, more vehicles then get built, and maybe I get scheduled...but my wait is all because of line skippers...lol

... I imagine a lot of priority 19 EBs are being scheduled over priority 10 Hybrids.

May be true, but my cheapie XL Hybrid Priority 10 I ordered at a very small dealer was issued a VIN last week.

Allocations & constraints are likely the most important.

The thing that bothers me the most, at the moment, is that I have no way to know if I will EVER EVENTUALLY get scheduled. If it was just a matter of waiting, but knowing that I will eventually get scheduled, fine. But to know that I may just have my order dropped, that kills me.

Bronco scheduling emails have been going out since 9:30am (they usually seem to match Maverick emails). I'm wondering if we will actually see something today?

Seeming unlikely, at this point...

I feel the same way. We already have a Maverick (one of the lucky ones) but Ford needs to tell people straight up if their order is getting dropped or not. I wouldn't be mad. I would try again the next time the banks open. I just want to know.

So, why did Ford say retail and fleet orders for the Maverick this week???

Not every dealership is represented by the forum.

I checked with my dealer yesterday and they said they used all of their allocations last week. Seems like maybe this was the case for others too.

I am pretty sure I am changing my order from an XL hybrid to an XLT hybrid. Here is my reasoning: chances are decreasing that mine will get built as the weeks progress, I may have to reorder. Last year the price increase was $1,200 for the XL and I will assume it will be at least the same for the MY 24. A $1,200 increase for the 24 XL is nearly the difference between the XL and the XLT in the current model year. And I feel like that the XL hybrids are predominantly going towards fleet with a few retail orders sprinkled in. I might take the 2 grand hit for the fancy seats and the rims (pretty much the only difference in the XL and the XLT) and hope the change gets me plucked from the great unwashed masses of the “ XL hybrid-ers “.

They must be scheduling some. Read on another post where someone called and got their scheduling Vin today. So I'm just assuming they didn't get an e mail. I'd would suggest calling.
