how come you are excluding tremor?

Tremor is only 8% of capacity. So, out of 100 trucks, only 8 will be Tremor. That said, if your Tremor hasn't been scheduled, then there has to be a constraint or allocation reason why. Ford said they had roughly 2,400 total Tremor retail orders and have had the capacity to build 2,600 through the end of March (and to schedule roughly 4,000 total through the end of May). So, there is no reason why the Tremors are not complete except for Ford not scheduling them for one reason or another.

Thus my caveat.

Basically, it comes down to this: if you haven't been scheduled yet, there is a reason you haven't been scheduled yet. Whereas with the hybrids, its still just simple luck.

I agree. Bob for president! Ford should hire him to figure this all out.

oh no, I am aware that you are an outsider like most of us. but as it seems you know/understand spreadsheets and data/numbers and notice trends and things like that...its nice to see that information as someone who does not have that utility in my belt.

And not trying to "put you on a pedestal"...but so far with your "predictions" and numbers/trends, it seems like you have been pretty much "in the ballpark" with your data. So that is why I like to see your data/interpretations because so far they have been pretty good...and any information you bring up is more than my dealership gives me about anything, and better than my attempt at data interpretations on my own.

No one needs that...

But I will continue to post as long as it interests me.

As always Bob, your posts are fantastic. I assume in your above statement, "there is a reason you haven't been..." that is in reference to the Tremor question/production, not EB in general??

Probably both, honestly. Mathematically, Ford wraps up EBs with June scheduling, but we know that won't happen. So, if you have an EB and aren't scheduled by the end of June, there is a reason. Allocations, constraints, who knows? But Ford will have run out of retail orders for EBs to pin it on luck of the draw.

I wish this were true, but I really don’t think it is. Still unscheduled, no constraints, they have allocations and im a prio 10 tremor. I don’t see that changing with Junes scheduling, but hope so!

Ford US EV sales up 41% in Q1 to 10,866 units; 2.3% of total Ford new vehicle sales
05 April 2023
Ford’s EV sales grew 41.0% in Q1 2023 on sales of 10,866 electric vehicles. F-150 Lightning sales totaled 4,291 pickups with production capacity actions on track to hit an annual production run rate of 150,000 this year.
Sales by Ford Pro of the E-Transit, the best-selling electric van in the US last year, climbed 62.7% to 1,168 units. Reflecting downtime at the plant for changes to increase production, Mustang Mach-E sales were down 19.7% to 5,407 units from the same period in 2022. Ford is targeting scaling to an annual run rate for the Mach-E of 210,000 units.
Ford says that its electric vehicles continue to attract new customers with a conquest rate or more than 60%.
Ford’s overall vehicle sales—Ford Blue, Ford Pro, Model e and Lincoln—totaled 475,906, up 10.1% with estimated share up over a year ago. EV sales thus represented 2.3% of total Ford sales. In Q1 2022, Ford EV sales (7,706 units) represented 1.8% of all new vehicle sales (432,132 units).
Ford is the No. 1 selling truck manufacturer in the US, with 254,023 trucks and vans sold in the first quarter (53.4% of the total), outselling GM’s trucks and vans by approximately 27,000 vehicles. Sales of Ford’s overall trucks, including pickups and vans, were up 19.6% on the strength of F-Series pickups (up 21.1%) and Ford Pro’s Transit van (up 86.0%).

@Automate -- I like the table.

Here is the associated graphic. Last month there was discussion relating to platform compatibility across models and possible shifts from escape production into Maverick. Following the production numbers, there does not appear to be any correlation between (decreased) escape and (increased) maverick numbers. I think we can put that conjecture to bed.

Cheers!

Oh my god, the graph!
Awesome work, but we have all gone down the rabbit hole so far.
We should not have to know so much about this vehicle.
I just want my freaking truck.
