Are you willing to reply back to them and lobby for the other June and July orders? I have to wonder, did their team really not know about all of the June/July orders were out there getting passed by? Or were they aware and, as other have said, gave the squeaky wheel a build date?
I have a different perspective. I am willing to believe that all of the 22 orders will be made as 22 models, otherwise, why bother cutting off ordering? We know when Ford says they will do the MY switchover at the factory, so we know, in theory that any vehicles not scheduled by late summer...
I agree. I was reading another article this morning about the critical lithium shortage the US is facing and the need to at least build a robust battery recycling industry here to combat sending lithium back overseas in old batteries just to have to reimport that lithium in new batteries.
2 plants are expected to go online this year (Richardson, TX and Lehi, Utah). Its the brand new facilities in Sherman, TX that will not go online until 2025. So yes, more complete relief is a ways away, but some is coming soon. I have no idea if Ford uses TI chips, but its still movement.
Texas Instruments to focus on automotive and industrial as feds raise alarm over chip shortage
TI is working to get several new semiconductor chip-producing plants online over the next year as shortages persist.

No clue, actually. But with relatively few sold units in 2021 (since this is quoting sales not units produced), it almost doesn't affect the calculations.
"J.D. Power expects Ford to sell at least 80,000 Mavericks in the U.S. this year [2022]. Research firm AutoPacific forecasts about 95,000 in sales this year and 120,000 in 2023."
I think this little gem got buried in the excitement over the cutoff information. We have long complained that we...
Interesting. Data shows 592 ordered with my options (XLT Hybrid, Lux, 360, includes all colors). 18 built, 1 delivered. That's 3% built and .1% delivered.
Total Hybrids: 5% built, 1.5% delivered.
All Mavericks: 7.8% built, 2.8% delivered.
Assuming there's a large number of ordered...
I ordered letters that are black during the day and reflective white at night. I got them from a guy Delzona recommended. I know there's an Etsy shop that sells similar for less, but I was happy to support someone who's work had been vouched for. (Delzona had a pic of the same material on his...
Agreed. You will likely have to find a Hybrid in the wild and send the dealer price to the insurance company. Then add temporary car accommodations to that number. Maybe contact Tim and see if he would put you on their cancellation list? With so many Hybrids ordered at his dealership, he...
If you ordered and have already picked up your Maverick from a 5 Star Dealership in the Dallas area - have you had a good experience? With all of the negative pricing experiences people are having when picking up their vehicles, I don't want to be ambushed with ADM or required protection...
I agree that this would be good to see, but I do wonder how many people join the forum, enter their order stats and never come back to update their entry when they get a build date. When I played with the data, there were something like 75% orders to 25% with build dates. That may not be...
No scheduled production date and I have:
Front window reflector that matches my Alto Blue
Maverick lettering for the tailgate
Pet seat cover for the backseat, like is shown above, except black with orange piping (orange to match the XLT trim)
On my list to buy, probably after I buy my truck...
