COVP NEEDED FOR ALL RETAIL ORDERS BY 6/2

[Robert C]

Good question. At what stage can we be assured we have a valid order?
How many hoops do we have to jump thru?

You will know you have a valid order when you drive a Maverick off the lot.

No, if you are already scheduled you are good to go. This is for those of us still hoping to get scheduled before the end of the model year.

Re COVP, how do you know you are good to go? How do you know this? Do you work for Ford or a dealer?

I have a built order to be delivered between 6/2 and 6/8. I think I will call dealer just to be on the safe side.

Clarification please. If I received the "order received" email from Ford the day after my order was placed does this mean there may NOT have been a COVP submitted?

This is two separate things. Like they said earlier, the dealer would know this, so they need to confirm the COVP.

COVP is Ford's system for confirming that this is a legitimate order in order to schedule it. If your order is built it was already scheduled. Hence you are good to go. Watch Tim Bartz video from last night where he confirmed this also.

I sent an email to my dealer asking to confirm COVP status for my order and am waiting a response.

I also just chatted with Ford asking the same thing and this was their reply. Not sure of its accuracy...

Yes, the order has your name attached to it so COVP has been submitted.

Ford Video Guy just said on his livestream that there is an even deeper wrinkle to this........even if you DID have COVP done back in September, if you changed your trim level or went from FWD to AWD (or hybrid to EcoBoost or EcoBoost to Hybrid) since then, YOU NEED TO COVP AGAIN. He said he had done COVP for all of his (back in September), yet saw some on a list today that were not COVP'd. The reason being the customer changed their order. They had been correctly COVP'd back in September, but were now showing as not being COVP'd.

Yikes......

Any of you out there who made changes to your order after it was initially submitted, CHECK WITH YOUR DEALER. Don't let them just claim they did it correctly back in September. They very well might have done it back in September. Make them produce proof as of today! If Ford Video Guy can be caught off guard by an order change needing to be re-COVP'd, then I can assure you MANY dealers out there are also going to not know about that wrinkle.

Edit: He just said "motor" doesn't matter. So just changes to trim (XL, XLT, Lariat), or change between FWD and AWD.

So this is actually some pretty big news. I just emailed my dealer as we have a Lariat hybrid on order that was initially ordered as a XLT hybrid (thus a trim change). So per Tim this order would need to be COVP'D again. I spelled as this out to my salesperson but I'm not confident that they'll look into this and make sure it's right.

I wonder if dropping any constraints will require another COVP. We kept the same Lariat Hybrid but did make a few changes to the options. Leif Johnson in Austin just confirmed that all of their Mav orders were COVP.

When I changed our order we had to sign and submit info all over again.

Is this "Fordese" for trying to make sure that orderer matches buyer??? Whatever, make sure your order has been entered and approved in the COVP system! Yes, the dealer can show you this!!!

For those that have asked "am I ok if I have a VIN and am scheduled?" just a heads up I had a VIN and was scheduled for June 8th, and then on the 19th of May I was suddenly not scheduled anymore.

It's possible I just got bumped by a lower priority order (or the tracker is glitching, which i've read here can happen) but also just as likely that my order is not COVP and has been removed from the schedule - not sure a VIN alone is a guarantee that the vehicle will get built, so probably still a good idea to check with your dealership just to make doubly sure - am doing that myself ASAP.

Very interesting! Just called my salesman and he has no idea what this is. He is suppose to be checking and will call me back. OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK......................................this doesn't sound good.

Touched base with our dealer…..W8FO Lariat AWD .2.OL ECOBOOST….1st order placed Dec 2021, Re ordered Sept 17, 22….received confirmation of order….have received general emails……now dealer is saying if we don’t make changes to order….engine, trim, bed liner, Ford will cancel the order?? Change engine!!

I emailed my salesperson at my dealership, straight up asking him to provide a screenshot of my COVP approved order. Hoping it was done last September when I ordered and that he actually sends me a screenshot and not try to skirt around the issue.

 

[YuccaMav]

My dealer sent me a copy of my COVP back when I placed the order in September. I'm hopeful that Ford is going to offer price protection to the unfulfilled COVP 2023 orders after all or at least cull some of these duplicate orders that just end up as dealer stock.
