And the shuffle continues....

Given all of the build week slides, I suspect that the production ramp up is going slower than planned. If Ford schedules this month, my money is on it being for Sept. and October. the big open questions to me are:

How far will Ford push back the model year change over (i..e building 2022s in November and December like they did the Mach-e).

How many folks that ordered a 2022 model year will get pushed to a 2023.

I think they have targeted 10/9 as MY23 Day one.
Will it slip? No telling but as they work through the backlog of of on site stock, they should be able to increase line flow.

I anticipate a huge number of scheduling to fill up August and September this or next week, that will be telling once the reports start coming in from members waiting

You don't think August is full already?

As a representation of the forum population for earlier weeks, there is still more capacity to assign build dates, unless the huge fleet orders take up some of the production slots, but we have no visibility on those units.

143 on my list still have not mentioned a build week yet, I hope they are scheduled soon.

You and me both (for selfish reasons)

Just checked mine and got bumped to 9/26 🥲 wave 1 priority XLT SR 312A AMB.

6/13 > 7/25 > 8/1 > 8/29 > 9/26

 

[Capertrj]

I got moved to 9/5. Lariat ER max tow/tech SQM.

 

[sotek2345]

Oof. Not a good look.

They must really be hitting production delays, or at least not meeting their ramp up targets, with all of these schedule slips.

Last Friday evening mine moved to 8/22 lariat ER, max tow, tow tech. If they are not going to make their targets by end of 2022 production (bumping builds later in the month...) then why are they inviting more people to order? That or they are not going to change over from 2022 production to 2023? Will it be an N in the 10th VIN position or a P. The truck will likely be very similar.

I unlocked the doors and stocked the fridges with beer in the September build threads!!

Yeah - I am just as confused as you. Given the delays and lack of new schedule, Wave 7 makes no sense.

Maybe they delay MY2023 production start to complete 2022.
