Far be it from me to defend dealers, they typically range from terrible to useless, but your dealer is correct about Priority Code. While there are definitely a handful of folks that are convinced that a Priority Code of 10 makes a difference compared to 19, it's been discussed around here often...
As for your first question, it's probably the same reason that many of us with October build Ecoboosts have been waiting for over a month with our vehicles half built; because everything is crazy in the world right now and Ford is obviously having a ton of issues. At least you can fall back on...
Not just that date range. I'm a 10/11 build week and while my modules have been active for almost a month, I'm still "in Production ".
October builds on the whole look more and more suspect to me. Probably time to start making good friends with the local Ford service department cuz we all may be...
While I don't know exactly what's going on, since Ford has still not sent me a SINGLE email about my order, but per the tracker, my EB Lariat has been being built for over a month now. Definitely something up with some of us.
Seems you and I are are here for entirely different reasons, I welcome folks pointing out issues with a vehicle few know anything about and that I'm about to drop 30 large on.
If all I wanted to read about the Mav was how super cool and awesome it was, I'd just read Ford's promotional...
Between what I've seen here and reddit, it seems like, at minimum, there's a problem with a week or two worth of Lariat builds from early October. Shame we'll prolly never know what it was unless they do a piss poor job of addressing their second attempt at building/QCing them.
Lots of whacky stuff going on down there lately it seems. Sometimes they sit around for over a month once they're built, sometimes it takes over a month to build them.
While there are definite exceptions (like me) I think that 4 months seems pretty reasonable, especially considering the upcoming holidays.
Just hope you don't fall down the hole some of us have where the build process itself takes over a month, that'll definitely blow the hell right outta that...
If it shows up this year, prolly AZ to Vegas or SoCal. If it takes til next year, I'll be on the other side of the country, so my first road trip will PROBABLY be in a 2023 Mav. That is, unless another manufacturer announces a similar product next year....🤞
Hey man, laugh all you want but at least they're giving you SOMETHING. My EB went into production a week after yours and will prolly only beat the first hybrid deliveries by a few weeks.
And I didn't even get an email. Some throwaway FIT accessories would be a nice step up!:LOL:
Yep, that is one flaw. Of course, some others that aren't quite as easily blamed on the consumer:
Taking orders "for Fall delivery", but being unable to sell a single one of your standard models until a couple weeks before Fall ends.
Tracker systems regularly going offline and being...
Welcome to purgatory!
I ordered my Lariat EB on 7/14, went into Production on 10/7 and it hasn't moved since then either. I hope you're patient, you may have quite a while longer to go.
Yep, having worked at USPS for 8 years and another 20 years of IT work predominately supporting tracking systems, I don't disagree with any of that. There are always going to be constraints and timing issues. The number of times I tried to explain to someone that just because tracking showed "a...
If we're to be honest, most all of the customer facing search/tracking/communication avenues that Ford provides are pretty terrible.
Few folks have wanted to see manufacturers move away from dealerships and towards a direct to consumer model more than I but man. Based upon what's available...
While we're hoping, here's hoping mine that has been "In Production" since 10/7 is on that same train. I sure wouldn't bet any money on it though. :LOL:
The 10/11 crew must've just been cursed.
I haven't been rescheduled, I've just been stuck "In Production" since 10/7 without any updates and still haven't received an email from Ford about anything.
