Another of the I heard this statements. Take it with a grain of salt. Hybrids will be out b4 end of year. That being said Probably won't be many. Thought they have some complete waiting on mpg rating

It depends on how you read this statement…

Since Hybrid orders are reserved for Retail customers, Dealer Stock orders could very likely be delayed until this time frame.

If read in this context, there’s nothing to get too concerned about.

In that case my second cousins neighbor, has an uncle who has a best friend that bowls with a janitor at world headquarters, and he said this is actually a test of how many people actually believe they will get one.

I had a similar scare yesterday. I received a call from my dealer that stated the hybrids won't be coming until April of '22. Apparently there was a dealer meeting over the last week that communicated this to them? They assumed my order would come sometime in May or June. I had yet to hear of this "delay", so I came running to the forum, but didn't see anything at the time. So at least two different sources are stating April. Oh well... luckily I got an old '02 Ranger to hold me over until my Mav eventually comes.
Edit #2: Sounds like my dealer is just confused and spreading fear. As per later comments, I'm assuming their comments were about dealer stock, not retail orders

This guy Albert has only been at Ford 6 months.
He may be correct but are we taking bets as to how long till he is no longer at Ford?

Guess we know what the Fordvideoguy will be asked tonight on his live stream.

It's funny for months everyone keeps saying it's not true and they don't no what they are talking about. Problem is we have been saying that from the beginning for the hybrid and so far the rumors of the hybrid delay have been true even though we don't want to believe them...

April or May for dealer stock to arrive sounds reasonable.
