Poster said orders. Maybe you misread.
That's not the way ordering cars works. It's not like they have all parts sitting ready to use before they start building. Shortages cause other orders to move ahead. Balancing orders across regions/dealers to keep them in business. Orders that exceed expected demand/capabilities, such as hybrids. It's not a FIFO business model.It never ceases to amaze me how confusing Ford production is. I have seen numerous postings on this forum where individuals who ordered after me have already received their vehicles. Hearing that causes me to start whining and sniveling. Gets very discouraging to say the least. Now I read your story about ordering back in Sep 21 and you just got your VIN and build timeline. Doesn't make any sense to me. I ordered a month after you, Oct 21, and my vehicle is built and in the process of being shipped. Currently stuck in Phoenix, where it has been sitting for over a week. I don't understand why you didn't get yours built before me. You should have! Don't get me wrong here, I'm delighted that after 508 days of waiting as of today, I am optimistic about getting my vehicle in the not too distant future. Oldest orders should be built first. Those getting their vehicles who ordered in September 22 is uncalled for. I'm happy for them, but come on now, give me a break. An order one year older that is just getting a VIN and soon a schedule build date is ridiculous. I feel for ya. I at one time never thought I would be joining the 500 club. So here I am at 508 days since my order and still waiting. All I can say is, hang in there. Your day will eventually get here. We can't get discouraged when we hear about the newer orders getting their vehicles before us. I don't even think Ford could explain how this happening.
Yep, you’re right about that. The constant beast has been making havoc of everything.
