Unlikely Scenario for MY22 Fulfillment of All Chapman Horsham Orders...

[Yar]

...TEN full weeks since the last ones were scheduled.
Maybe next week will bring better news.

I think it's funny how Ford is touting that there are sooo many New-To-Ford buyers of the Maverick. I'm in that group, btw. If we don't STAY as a loyal Ford Customer, what good does it do them? Many of us are very disappointed in Ford. Of course, I do understand all the global supply issues, but Ford seems to continue to have "Quality" issues with this vehicle, one after another. I guess they got it right when they dropped their tagline from "Quality is Job One" in the late 90's and now say "Built Ford Tough". As a future customer, I wish that both were true!

I don't bother calling the Customer Service number any more. Tired of hearing their canned speech ("...oh, you ordered the Hybrid? You're gonna love that sweet 40mpg.") and the disappointing "You're in Order Processing". Current wait time for me since Order Date is One YEAR and Five Days...

I guess they got it right when they changed their tagline from "Quality is Job One" in 1979 to "Built Ford Tough".

I was shocked by this, because I was only 9 years old then and that quality jingle is indelibly etched into my brain. Turns out it ran from around 1981-1998, according to this article.

I stand corrected. Thanks!

No worries, I only looked because I was a little scared that they had seemingly been able to etch it into my 9-yr old mind so well...

I heard back from Ashlie on my weekly status check, and they only had 2 hybrids schedule this week. There's no Maverick scheduling next week, and presumably the following week they will start scheduling for early September production.

This means that Horsham has had only 2 Mavericks schedule since April 15th (11 weeks!). I have consequently adjusted my careful scientific projections wild-@ss guessery significantly downward.

I wish I knew that there orders would pick back up in 2023 MY. I may have to order another one someplace else just to be sure.

Yesterday, I was on a Carnival Cruise and received the email. After thinking about 2 mins, I sent an email to Ashlie/Steven. I will remove the lux package + copilot 360. I don't know whether my July order will be delivered in 2022 or not. I'm done with Ford. And I just know that my priority is 13.

 

[yakefu]

I also might order a 2023 Lariat with my local dealer when the order slot opens. I might see the 2023 sooner than the 2022. Fxxk you, Ford.

Your order date is July 21st and your PC is 13? WTF. That would mean they have PC10 orders earlier than July 21. Also I tried to modify my order but they said I would lose price protection. Keep that in mind, especially since the Lariat went up by $1,000 yesterday.

 

[chuckles]

Two, huh? Probably some First Editions that had to have been scheduled this year. *sigh*

If you plan to order a 2023 anyway, you might as well leave your 2022 order as-is. I am really stunned that an early order like yours is unscheduled.

Do we know exactly what happened at Horsham? Does every single order have multiple constraints? It seems odd that they have orders nearing a year old that have not gotten scheduled and only 2 scheduled in like 11 weeks.

I asked a couple weeks ago and Ashlie said they didn’t know either. Pure speculation, but it almost seems like they’re being punished for something, especially since Chapman-Philly (same region) as well as Long-McArthur & Granger (different region, but both also large volume dealers) got build dates throughout that 11-week period when Horsham got no builds scheduled.

That being said, I know that Horsham had 7 of their 22 Apr allocations and all 15 of their May allocations go unused. So perhaps it truly is a case of all their backlogged orders just being heavily constrained, and thus not getting scheduled even despite being older ones.

Should we assume if we get rolled to a MY23 then we'll lose the 4% under invoice deal?
