Is my dealer pulling something shady?

[Goose..you there?]

My son-in-law and I were the 54th and 55th Mavericks to be ordered at our dealership. I’m just hoping to see my Mav in July!

This claim is oft-repeated, but I think Ford never said that. Not just be a contrary jerk, feel free to correct me (hopefully with a source) if I am wrong.

Yeah, I think I recall Tim Bartz from Long McArthur (@fordvideoguy) said that dealers could not order Hybrids for dealer stock. Retail orders first for Hybrids. He mentioned very early, like August, that dealers would be getting some EB's as dealer stock, even in first production.

And now that Hybrid orders are fully allocated for the 22MY, the only Hybrid dealer stock will likely be from retail orders where the customer walks away.

First thing you've got to do is get the order priority changed to a 10. That is your dealer holding you up within his priority. Tim said that all of their orders get created at priority 10. So, in a way, yeah, he's snowing you.

Aaarrrggghhh! One of the most repeated things here I certainly do not know what actually happens but here is my understanding.
On August 27th I went to my dealer and said "I want a cactus gray XLT LUX + options". Salesman asked if I had made a reservation and I said no. She then excused herself and said let me go ask someone something. When she came back she said we had to get on her computer and submit a build my22 deal and submit it to get a reservation number (&/or ?) Which we did. Then she went into the back and got the order sheet with options and a sheet with pricing shown. We signed and left. Within an hour got the "ordered email" from Ford. This and with all the back and forth between every one here, I believe that an order placed by the dealer as a converted reservation (ROVP?) and as such given a build not necessarily prior to a dealer allocated order but allowed to be built without requiring use of an allocation slot of the dealer. Again, I do not know which is the way it actually comes about. Rumor was going around that dealers could earn extra allocations on reservations(???). I believe that the reservation setup was misinterpreted as being that they would all be built before ANY DEALER ALLOCATED ORDERS were. I do no know.

Yes I did order late but not a single customer order from my dealership has been delivered, and possibly not even scheduled yet, and I am sure some of the 20 were ordered in June and July. I dont know how not a single one hasnt come in.

You ordered later, not surprised yours isn’t scheduled yet.

As for why NONE of the customers Mavs have been scheduled. One possibility is if your dealer was one that didn't complete ROVP after order confirmation, then none of the customers orders would get built. All the customer orders turn to stock orders for the dealer. Tim said there will probably be customers that dont get their Mavs because of this issue.

Ask them if you are ROVP approved. If you are, the you'll get it. If not, then your order becomes dealer stock.

I asked before i left the day if ordered if my order was entered in the ROVP and they told me yes. I dont know whats going on just find it odd that not a single customer order has come in but 2 dealer stock mavs have and a 3rd on the way.
