October Hybrid Orders United

[theway-yay-ting]

This is what I'm wondering too. With the way the gas prices are going, they are going to sell out of '23 hybrid model in a week.

Compounding the matter, in addition to the Hybrid constraints, any rolled-over orders with other constrained parts (Lux, CP-360, etc.) may still be delayed when the MY23 cycle begins, which could in turn mean that newly ordered XL Hybrids still get built prior to rolled-over MY22 XLT Lux Hybrids.

I’d say the October orders are officially screwed.

On the bright side mayyyyyyybe, Ford will have officially replaced the faulty ground harness segment and patched some of the known software bugs by the time they build our (MY23) iterations?

The lack of scheduling (again) this week is bad enough, but it’s crazy to see some basic builds like this pushed back to the end of August. The hybrid must really be constrained. I’m starting to mentally prepare for a ‘23, in probably December(?) at the earliest if I’m close to the front the line.

@fordvideoguy was able to confirm an issue with the hybrid battery, hence all the scheduling coming to a halt as well as hybrid build dates being pushed out.

Yep, the bummer is that this issue will probably not have magically resolved itself when the '23s start rolling off the line in October.

I made my weekly “ torture myself” call this morning. Still no build date or vin. Just a plain Velocity Blue xl hybrid with only a drop in bedliner. There are probably guys on this site that could have built their own in less time. Eight months, just pathetic.

Just finished chatting with Ford regarding my hybrid Maverick (copilot, lux & rear window) that was ordered back in Oct 13 :

"I see that your Maverick is In Order Processing. The order has been entered into the Ford Ordering System. Your VIN will be generated and sent to you once your order moves into Production"

The next time I chat with them and I get the same reply I will ask them if they know when it will be moved into production. I'll just keep waiting like the rest of us....may be it will be a 2023???

There is no point in pestering Ford chat agents on weeks where there is no scheduling (assuming you’re unscheduled).

Hell, I just want my Oct 2021 Ordered Cactus Gray XL with Hitch, Inverter and Spare to be built already. If this is anything like the Bronco's there will be the same builds as us that are new orders that will get built sooner.

At this rate, looks like I will only be getting 1 of the 2 Ford's I ordered. I'll have to pick something else up as I have a lease up in July, and can only extend it out to September or October.

Mine is now 8/1 .......
6/13 to 6/20 to 6/28 build day to week of 8/1
Why would they even try to schedule so many in June if they could not build.....
Almost tempted to add some constraints and push it to my23

I am wondering also if i should add back the lux package i took off months ago on.my xlt hybrid. I am pri02 no vin with oct 23 order date

Pretty sure you can no longer add Lux package, at least for this model year.

Yeah I’m screwed for sure. XL with hitch floor mats, and 360 will bump me to a 2023 I’m sure at this point. I sold my Ridgeline trying to get a good price for it recently prior to gas prices spiking. Oh well, bus and bike it is.

 

[NOLAguy]

Ford should just start calling everything a '23 and be done with it

 

[Spartan]

Do you have the Lux and 360 package?

WTW /(Spartan) Mine Mav. is now in nowhere land /No VIN / Ordered on September 13 / CC / Hybrid / Lariat /360 /Lux / FE / Mud Flaps / ?

 

[Rob Cactus Gray]

Not sure how many others October order got kicked. My July 1st build went to August 1st and now August 15th. I won’t see it tell September if I’m lucky. Wish I could have just got a 2023.
