Hello all!
Just wanted to post a quick question based on the trend I was seeing with yesterdays (1/26/23) emails received post about who and what vehicles were picked. I understand that only Ford knows the issues and numbers/stats/etc, but there appeared to be a ton of Hybrids picked than at any time in the past. From the start Ford made it clear that they only intended to build X Hybrids, yet blew that out of the water and that due to that, hybrids would be a constraint issue and to "change to an EB if you want vehicle this year"...etc. Yet with the many pages of posts on the emailed received 1/26/2023 post yesterday, it appeared that a vast majority of them were all Hybrid orders. Now I completely understand not every person who ordered a Maverick has an account on MTC so it is possible all the others were EB orders, but otherwise, was I the only one that found it odd at the volume of Hybrid vehicles picked yesterday?
That was what pushed me to post/ask this question. Has there been any updates or rumors that Ford has made a ton more hybrid motors/parts over the past months of delay to the point where they are building them at a faster pace now? Or maybe they just got a fresh shipment of hybrid motors in that week and put them right on assembly line that second?
I went into my EB 23' New Order, knowing all of the wait times/constraint/supply chain issues...etc... knowing that I would be waiting some time before it would get built (and from the start I was expecting around May, and anytime after that I would start to get antsy) and I am not keeping my hopes up on any weekly Thursday email until around May, but these weekly posts have normally favored EB (unless it was Hybrid only scheduling) of which seeing the onesidedness of yesterdays post, made me want to reach out to see if anyone has heard anything.
I assume its completely up in the air, nobody knows, Ford Ordering is a mythical creature that nobody has any idea about...etc... but it doesnt hurt to ask f anyone else thought it was odd the sheer number of Hybrids picked yesterday and why that could be.
Thanks all!
