placed order for 2023 XLT Hybrid on Friday afternoon 9/16/22. How long before you normally have to wait to get response from Ford?I really hope this means they're cutting it off at a quantity they can actually produce.

placed order for 2023 XLT Hybrid on Friday afternoon 9/16/22. How long before you normally have to wait to get response from Ford?I really hope this means they're cutting it off at a quantity they can actually produce.
Can someone help reassure me I'm on track (or not)?
Ordered within a day of the bank opening, not sure exactly what time since the system crashed. Got a confirmation email from Ford same day. The only "order number" I have is a 4 digit code (F2xx). I submitted my order request via email to the salesman. Also a pic of my driver's license. Never signed anything. I've been bugging the salesman to take my deposit, he's very unresponsive but finally said "we'll waive it for you.". I'm feeling like none of this is "official" enough, even though Ford did send my confirmation email directly to me.
Any thoughts? Should I try to make it "more official" somehow? Dealer is 30 minutes away, I could pay a visit.
You could very well be right on that. If they have taken more hybrid orders that the 35% hybrid build plan at the point orders are closed, then someone will be left out… again.I think Fords' big problem is the percentage of orders that are for the Hybrid. Ford has stated to the dealers that only 30 or so percent of the 23 orders can be Hybrid. I think dealers have submitted way over 30% of their retail orders as hybrid. Our own forum survey confirms that. I spoke to a dealer today who has 60 orders inputted and only ONE is not a hybrid...
maybe. I'd feel more at ease once you get the confirmation email from Ford. Tip: check your Junk mail box. Mine went there.Hmm so I'm slightly confused.
I have a screen shot of the COVP page with a tracking number. They got a copy of my DL, and I signed the preview order page.
Does that mean I'm good?
Do you have a build sheet? If so it should have an order number. Get on with Ford chat, give them the order number and sales number (that's the dealer). They'll tell youThis sucks. I ordered on Saturday, my dealers claims the order was entered to Ford, but I still no confirmation from Ford that it was actually submitted. After 15+ phone calls, emails, and texts to both the salesman and person who enters the orders to Ford with little response back except one time near the end of the afternoon assuring me it was entered, I'm worried it's not. Bullshit that 2 days after the order banks open might be too late!
Is this official? Does someone have the link? My dealer told me today that it closed next week.
