It may appear to you that Ford is disorganized, but in reality, they are the king in vehicle manufacturing and it's a bad time to get a vehicle no matter what brand due to parts shortages and logistics issues.As usual, you are a source of sanity and its appreciated. Candidly though, Ford, and I usually like them and their cars (have owned about a dozen), is just gargantuanly disorganized with this whole effort. Someone at the company is making decisions. They aren't communicating those decisions downward/outward to either the customers or the dealers. So they now have hordes of otherwise nice, patient, enthusiastic customers really pissed off at them.
This stuff is always avoidable, and Ford is looking incredibly disorganized here
My past experience has shown me that Ford will actually try to get shipments out on or ahead of schedule.
2 cases in point:
- '22 Lightning was pushed up 3 weeks in build date from July to June and delivered a month early.
- '23 Mustang Mach E (MME) originally scheduled for February '23 delivery is now pushed up to first week January '23 delivery.
Ford has demonstrated "under promise, over deliver".
Here's my '23 MME arriving a month early - already at the US-Mexico border:
