Ordered my XLT hybrid on 4th of July I could handle September well I think I could handle September no forget it I have no patience I want it now! ‍

I have a confirmed order email on the 16th of july and i got an ecoboost and still I dont expect to see mine most likely keys in hand until december. Just given how many ordered early in june and how many they have to build period. But as long as its here before the new year.

I

My salesperson told me November, and I almost laughed in his face. I ordered mine 7/20, and confirmed 7/21.

I didnt get told that even. I got my order confirmed about half hour from being back from the dealer on the 16th of july and when i was there they said they had no idea when it would be scheduled. I know they are having stock units come first though they admitted that to alot of folks. Which is fine as long as i get mine as ordered and AT the price of msrp which they said i would. I just may wait longer than a stock unit where they can jack up the price. So pick your battles at the end of the day. If i get mine in november as well given my date isnt far from yours id be okay with that.

our entire allocation

not all the orders, just what Ford has allocated to you for the month? So 20-30-40 orders out of the (probably) hundreds you have?

are we 100% sure on no hybrids?

There is a cleanup phase, so no no 100% but 99.44%

 

[Unlikely_Username]

So 26 Ecoboosts and 4 hybrids now would be 86.7% ecoboosts, still way above the 65% that has been scheduled recently. Hoping more ecoboosts get dropped off! (no offense )

LMAO I ordered on 6/21 (a hybrid) and I'm not even bothering to ask my salesman to hazard a guess at this point.

Same. I ordered my hybrid on 6/14....my status is "on hold"

Same. I ordered my hybrid on 6/14....my status is "on hold"

I'm guessing we both shall be waiting awhile....

Guys the transmissions are a definite hold up. Presume once tranny production hits a its legs, then we will see a rapid increase.

Excellent. We need hybrids!

Given the 'fill' rate on hybrids, I have a suspicion they are having some problems either in production or fitting. Could be something as simple as a loom that is cut just 1" too short, or an alignment difference between the drilled holes and the mount points.
Back when the first 4-passenger T-birds were in their pre-production, they found the engine, with transmission attached, balanced too low/high for ready installation into the engine bay. To fix that, the block casting was changed to move the motor mount bosses(where the bolts go into the block) to change the center of balance. All blocks subsequently had the mount point changed.
OTOH, it could be a production problem with the new motor, or a fitment of the motor to the transmission case, or bearing depth or ??? or XX?? You will likely never know. But you do know the hybrid production is 'less than expected'(l.t. 40% expected 'take' rate)

Maybe because only about 3-400 hybrid transmissions have been manufactured? I’d call that a constraint.
I am not saying there are not other limits, but in chemistry it is definitely what we would call a rate limiting factor.
