I ordered an XL Hybrid, bare bones, on July 17th. The logic being that with all the supply chain issues a bare bones / no options would have a greater chance of being scheduled (sooner than later). Nothing yet beyond the acknowledgement that Ford has the order...
On July 17th I ordered a '24 XL hybrid - no options, thinking I would be at the front of the line with no restrictions or anything holding up the build. Checked today. No change in status. Still Priority 13. *sigh*
