Anyone have any insight into how many orders for MY22's were taken vs how many have actually been delivered to customers? Someone on here yesterday suggested Ford won't have the capacity to fulfill any new Hybrid orders for the next year+. No evidence presented, just dropped that statement.

They know how to take the orders, they just don't know how to fulfill the orders.

Ford simply isn't sharing that information.
There is the real possibility they don't know.

Can't imagine its changed too much in years but the mess that is new car product development is stunning.

You have the lower level engineers doing the work. Issues that arise are not to be shared with Mount Olympus. Just patch it up ship it out.

Sounds typical of most large organization to be honest. Changing the direction of a ship the size of a large automobile manufacture from top to bottom likely takes about as long as most CEO's careers.

Sadly, Jac Nassar started the mess. He has been gone long time. Some of his mistakes are still paying dividends in misery for Ford Motor.

Unless a mistake causes a 8 or 9 figure recall no one really notices.
