Yep, exact same thing. I ordered December of 2021 and haven't heard anything since from my dealer or Ford but then again, I haven't expected to either. My dealer was very upfront with possible wait times and gave me a 5-7 month minimum wait time. The way things are going I just assumed I'd be getting a 2023 model. That being said I'm prepared to wait. I couldn't believe it when I saw the email notification from Ford official, but my balloon was popped rather quickly. The email tells me absolutely nothing, but it's nice to hear from them, I guess?
Yeah I thought the same thing, I saw the email like meh I have been being patient but like you said I guess its better to hear from them than not lol

May I ask is the market normal now? Or how much markup have you paid to get a RAV4?
So, technically I am paying MSRP. However, I am also getting charged for some overpriced dealer add on stuff that under normal car buying circumstances I would have refused to pay for. They are:

Paint sealant, fabric protector, nitrogen filled tires, and window tint. That is adding about $1300 to the price, so I would consider that a mark up. However, this particular dealer also offers free oil changes for the purchaser for as long as they own the vehicle, so that at least adds some value.

Overall, given the current situation, and especially the extra demand placed on the hybrid market due to the sudden spike in gas prices, I'm pleased (assuming the vehicle actually arrives around when it has been promised). The RAV4 is about the same sticker price as the most expensive of my three Maverick orders, and about $1300 more out the door since none of the dealers I ordered from have "required dealer profit generators."

But on the September Lariat order I was told it may possibly end up being a MY23 due to build constraints.
As an October Lariat Hybrid reservation-holder, this was an... interesting read.

Never whined about the wait . That's OK. But I think that Ford's handling of this will be part of case studies for communications/PR majors for a while. FMC's not alone in this mess, but the prospect of how they handle PR for a hot new product amid all these global challenges make them a standout example. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

The only thing this news-less, no "important change" email tells me is that Ford knows a good share of dealers aren't helping their brand. This is a small, ineffective effort at combatting that.

I got my Email speaking of delays. I ordered 10/9. The better question is did anyone not get this email and if so what and when did you order. Keep in mind though the emil could be in the spam folder for some.
Ordered a XL with the 4k Tow package in early December and did not get an email. Did originally have the 360 but dropped that. Wondering if I missed anything so I went down and talked to my dealer. Said he was aware of the blast and it wasn't just Maverick orders. Also the Econo vans and F250's got the same email.

Haven’t received this (yet). Have xlt hybrid lux ordered July 21. Been at priority 2 for a couple of months. Nothing from Ford since order confirmation
I got it. I ordered an XLT lux, cp360 on July 20. Yah, I like how they said they were going to concentrate on the June and July orders. We’ll, that lasted about- hmmm-2 seconds. Lol

It takes a lot of balls to charge for nitrogen in the tires. Both my 2021 Ford vehicles came from the factory with nitrogen in the tires. Every vehicle on the lot at the time had nitrogen in the tires.
Too bad there really isn't a hell.
