Maybe I missing something but I don't hear much about chip shortages at GM or some of the other manufacturers??
GM has deleted complete packages from models, building vehicles with missing parts for a promise of installing later and no heated seats and steering wheels. The supply crisis is hitting them all hard. 😞 We don’t hear much cause frankly, there isn’t much hype from other brands. Ford has four models that are hugely popular at this time, so we hear more about Ford.

My heart nearly exploded upon seeing the email earlier. Was about to give up and start looking for something else because my old shitbox GMT400 is in need of either being smashed with a giant hammer, driven off a cliff or be LS Swapped.

If it was intended for the low end, there would be no Lariat, Luxury Packages, heated seats, B&O sound systems, lane centering, etc., etc.

Ford intends it to be anything that helps sell units. Ford intended not to sell many XL's and made it difficult for the consumer to stomach it so it could sell more XLT's and make more money. The XL was just there to make headlines and positive press about a $20K Hybrid vehicle.

If anything, Ford intended this to be the Mid-end. But ultimately Ford intends on making as much money as possible for its shareholders.

And even among MTC members who have reported, Lariat is nearly 30% and XL is under 13%. And we have a strong vibrant XL community. We may even skew XL over the general public.

So if the Maverick is intended to be on the low end, nobody got that memo. Maybe because you wrote it? :unsure:
I would argue, that isn't what Ford advertising is saying about great mileage for hybrid. With the inclusion that it is under 20K. Or that they decided to get rid of their economy sedans. What else does Ford have to offer the economy folks? They had expectations.

First off I hope Delzona Hits the lotto big time Good Luck 🍀👍

Second no ill feelings to no one that has got a build date but it's really disappointing to see my same exact truck with the build date 4 to 6 weeks past my build date.

Third congratulations true all you ladies and gentlemen who got a build date and guess the way I'm looking at it there's always got to be a first and a last also a engine and a caboose.

Of course, most here just want one truck-carrying rail car...

Was told by my salesperson, congratulations you got scheduled April 11. (Sept 3 order Hybrid XLT) I got VIN, but still no email from Ford. I am happy, but would still like to see the email.
Have you received other emails from Ford?

Yes, I got a build date last week, you know when it was a non-scheduling Thursday!! I was the only one scheduled that week as far as I know on MTC! I really appreciate you asking! Thanks
Just that cool. 😆

Seriously, enough of us were pulling for you that it seems appropriate that you got singled out. 👍

(Insert squeaky wheel meme here.)

Delzona was tracking Jim Farley's private jet and making it public info and when Jim Farley asked Delzona to stop he said only if you schedule my Maverick for production.

Good news! I ordered same exact truck on same date- nothing from Ford yet on mine
Maybe just your dealer didn't have any more allocations left at this time or if you had any items that were restrained. Good luck should be soon.!
