any maybe timbo smalls could also make a realistic length video summarizing things as opposed to talking for over an hour each video.
i find that hard to believe.There is literally nothing they could have done different or better to build products in this environment.
I understand your thinking. However, I disagree order banks were closed early for MY2022. Middle June to Middle November for hybrid, and actually to end of January 2022 for ECOboost. All of us on here are really invested in this vehicle, but the general population of car buyers? Probably not so much. I would bet there is ZERO chance they sell out capacity to build 100k+ 2023 Mavericks on Day 1 of ordering- and guarantee most folks will still be waiting many months to get theirs built and delivered. IMO, Better to just enjoy the roller coaster ride knowing eventually you will have a new Maverick and enjoy life as much as possible while waiting since we have NO control over the process or timing of itY'all do know how some of us only found out about the Maverick after the order banks closed, right? There's a good chance they'll close them early again, and a remote chance they'll sell out on opening day. Better to get it in while we can, than get stuck waiting another year or buying at some insane markup.
From Ford's published manufacturing numbers:For the first 6 months of this year, so Jan-June, Ford has built 51,072 Maverick’s.
January '22 | 7842 |
February '22 | 9184 |
March '22 | 9778 |
April '22 | 9179 |
May '22 | 7842 |
June '22 | 7539 |
I'm curious what leads to your conclusion that all Ford ICs are interchangeable between vehicle models, instead of application specific? I haven't seen any information they can be redirected to more popular and profitable models and would be surprised if it was true.From Ford's published manufacturing numbers:
equals 51364. With the last two months dropping off in number there's likely to only be 7000 or so for the remaining months which puts them at a total close to 100,000. Maybe they are shooting for that goal.

I find it interesting that the production fell off just as the Lightning started production. I think the chips are being prioritized to the more profitable models.
I don't know Stacy, the numbers don't make sense.For the first 6 months of this year, so Jan-June, Ford has built 51,072 Maverick’s. I do not have the numbers for what they were able to produce in 2021. But then you also have what is left for July, August, and September Of this year. Positive thoughts…
I got the numbers directly from Automotive News magazine. I like to think they are legitimate.I don't know Stacy, the numbers don't make sense.
Only 2 1/2 months from launch, as of August 23, 2021, Ford CEO Farley bragged about already having 100,000 Maverick reservations before most even knew the Mav existed. https://www.motor1.com/news/528403/ford-maverick-reservations-three-states/
Taking orders through Jan 2022 must mean tens of thousands more orders but the numbers are not adding up: My understanding is sharing the Hermosillo plant with the Bronco Sport limits Mav production to 10,000/month or less at full capacity. That is only 120,000 per year assuming the supply chain issues suddenly clear up.
I personally know someone who ordered a XLT hybrid on June 8, 2021 right after launch way before the long line, but he is still waiting. That is wrong.
So with all of last year's orders still in limbo, Ford accepting 2023 orders seems pointless and will likely upset a lot more people. No wonder they delayed the date, then used guys like Tim at Long Mac to spin it as a benefit to 2022MY order holders.
Now that millions more know the Maverick exists, my bet is whatever new 2023 MY orders Ford squeezes in will close in weeks maybe days, not months like last year.
Here is Farley's email if you want to ask him what is going on. He probably won't answer but I would expect his assistant to read and report to the board a summary of what is stated on the emails. [email protected]
I didn't NEED to be first in line a year ago. However, it's a year later. Needs change over time. It's nice to talk about being generous and patient but enough is enough. It's my turn to go to the head of the line! I'm not listening to others or taking bad advice I'm just due. Life is too short to wait in line forever.It makes sense if you are not consumed by FOMO. How about backing off and not being so concerned about ordering the 1st day? Or the 1st week, month? WAIT until everything needed to make a sound decision is available. You don't NEED TO be 1st or "front of the line" to order a Maverick do you? We know it will be a case of "hurry up and wait" for many months AFTER you order. You'll be able to order for many months and this is Summer and tons of other fun and pleasant things to do - so why not turn your focus to those for awhile? We all know there are other avenues and work arounds for getting a Maverick if you NEED 1 sooner, and the trade off will be probably paying more than what some people here will approve of (ignore them- it's not their $ or decision) and the used market is now coming back to Earth. We've seen many people intercept an incoming vehicle or take advantage of a refused retail order- it can be done with a little extra work. I don't get why people are so stressed about about the order process which they have no control over. Life is too short for that
Agree, life is too short. Stress can cause all kinds of life shortening conditions too though, and stressing over a situation you have no control over is not healthy. I'm still waiting for mine too, and I'm certainly more anxious than when I first started this journey. The thing about trying to get to the head of the line is you probably won't even get ordered the 1st day order banks open, even if you have a signed purchase agreement + deposit with your dealer There's thousands of dealers out there taking pre-orders representing probably multiple thousands of orders to enter and they can't magically be ordered at the same time. Even if they have multiple people entering the orders, each 1 will probably take 1/2 hour to enter carefully and correctly so a lot of the pre-orders are not going in the 1st day anyways. Wouldn't surprise me if Ford's WBDO server crashes or at least gets bogged way down by the extra heavy traffic.I didn't NEED to be first in line a year ago. However, it's a year later.

Sorry Stacy I was not clear, your numbers are good but Ford's makes no sense. If they can only produce max 120k per year but they already had 100k reservations as of a year ago, they won't be able to take enough orders to fill the demand. It would be nice if they were transparent and told us their backlog but they won't.I got the numbers directly from Automotive News magazine. I like to think they are legitimate.
