My dealer told me that Ford will now punish them harshly if they sell a Maverick to anyone but the original order customer. Their allotment of new vehicles is at risk if they play dirty games like that. He asked me if I have any trepidation to please cancel the order completely.
Just a public service announcement, my order scheduled to build this week (9/12) was delayed a month. There was no notification from the dealer or Ford. I ended up contacting support chat out of curiosity and was told it was moved to 10/10. It doesn't show up on the tracker either.

Tim, I have a COVP 2022 Lariat 2.0EB unscheduled. If I roll it to '23, can I change it to XLT Hybrid and still keep my "place in line" or do I get kicked back to the end of the line with non-orders?
I look at it as an opportunity to rethink my '22 order. If I get pushed to '23, I might consider making a few changes, and perhaps some of the bugs will be worked out.
"Suppliers reply: We don't even know if we can deliver the 60,000 you originally ordered. We can't get raw materials on time and 20% of our workforce is out of action. "
