Got my 45 day email last night at 11:20 PM. Part of me is picturing a lowly Ford employee sitting in an office sending these emails one at a time to all of us. Picture Bob Cratchit.
I know it is just done automatically, though!
Some dealers are getting crazy :0 !

Just talked/texted with my salesperson on my 9/17/22 order of an XL hybrid. He said changing to an XLT hybrid wouldn't make any difference because they are both hybrids.
Thoughts?
The generic online tracking tool without VIN stops working after a period of time, this is "normal" for Mavericks, anyway.
As far as the updates from Ford this is also their normal Maverick customer service standards...
I texted my salesperson a screenshot of the memo and will see what he says about it. I have a hybid XL with just a hitch I ordered 9/17/22 and no build date. Willing to upgrade to an XLT if that helps scheduling.
If early next year I don't get some progress I am going to seriously look at the...
If I ever get my hybrid FWD XL here in WI like others have said the plan is to buy a lightly used set of steel rims and run dedicated snow tires November through March. Maybe adjusting time for anticipated weather conditions, we don't get as much snow as we used to.
May also give me a chance to...
My salesman and dealer don’t seem super knowledgeable. I rely on Ford and call and bother them for updates.
Last Ford told me there was “activity” on my 9/17 hybrid order and there was an inquiry made on getting some of the parts together.
Pics of the Tesla you bought would be helpful.
If I ever get my MY23 XL my plan is to keep it less than the 3 year warranty and buy a new Maverick with more features, hopefully a full electric.
Good luck!
Yesterday I talked to Ford and my order was shown as "Order Confirmed" with my order date of 9/17/22. Still no VIN and not scheduled for production, but they said there was activity on 11/17 as they were starting to gather parts. This morning I get this message when using the link Ford sent me...
Called Ford today to ask about the status of my MY23 XL hybrid ordered on 9/17/22 with just the hitch added.
No vin yet or production scheduled, but she said it was updated on 11/17 that the frame was reserved for it (or something like that). I don’t recall anyone here mentioning something like...
I am fortunate to be able to just pay cash if the interest rates are not appealable to me.
For me I did go the cheap route, XL hybrid with just the hitch as an option. I was going to get the XLT, but then they added the cruise with the XL as a standard option.
I'm limping along with my '06 Subaru Outback with 182,000 miles. It has good tires, heated seats and AWD so not a bad vehicle as we come into winter here in Wisconsin. It is our second vehicle and I mostly use it as the dog transport car and for short errands.
Bad is engine light is on once in...
I wanted the sliding rear window on my MY23 XL order, but the new configuration required also adding CP360 or something like that for another $650. I didn't want to spend $800 on a small manually sliding rear window.
Bummed they made this change, because I wanted the window for my dog.
When I call Ford to check on my 9/17/22 MY23 order status they mention that I have a Farm Bureau credit listed with them and to make sure I get the $500 off. I joined the FB in August of 2022 but with Illinois since they only charge $20/year instead of Wisconsin.
I only ordered 1 small piece for my MY23 XL hybrid, a "practice" center cap for the steel wheels. I went with an XL because it now comes with cruise control, but wanted to make the steelies look a little nicer (to me) so am going to experiment with painting a center cap set black to match the...
