Ford sent out (blanket spam) email: "An Important Update About Your Order" [Ford Official Comment]

[Riviot]

Haven't seen anyone suggest that their production date was actually moved.

This seems to be a anticipatory email from ford, letting everyone know to likely expect delays.

Grateful for finalizing my Rivian order this week! Just waiting to schedule delivery ?

This is wrong.

which part ?

It seems to be all of the SR packs. And now we likely lose not only the 22’ price but also the $7500 tax credit.

RIP @Ford Motor Company

One above was an ER. And only a sample of 10 or so, so far.

Yes.

I was originally hoping to get my XLT SR in October. Now I'm hopeful I get it as a Christmas gift. As long as it doesn't miss 2022 I'll be still be happy, but obviously I'd be more happy if it was here in the summer.

ive got a production date of 5/16. Lariat extended batt with max tow. Silver. No email in my inbox.

Haven't received email. No production date. Wave 3 Lariat ER ordered 2/4.

 

[FordLightningMan]

It does seem like SR are more impacted, majority of emails are SR reservations. Still in line with what I expected, top trims will get out the door first. Supply chain just impacting when exactly second will happen. I assume the margin on the XLT SR is near the Lariat based on additional cost vs. what's in the Pro SR, it's more about Ford wanting their show trucks being on the road first.

Lolwut? You ordered it nearly 3 years ago And you have instant equity of at least $20k, I would finalize that any day of the week regardless of the Lightning.

ER impacted as well. Emails seem to be staggered, just got the email at 9:53 PM Central.

Texas here with Lariat ER, Max Tow and AT tires were only other options. Same email, but web site still showing my build week of 5/23.

Meanwhile Ford execs are on Twitter saying all
Is fine. No delays. Nothing to worry about.



What an absolute mess.

Na those are the dealer exclusive models for them to flip.

I just got the same E-mail, but my account still shows the original build date scheduled.

I am already reaching out to Mike Levine, Emma Berg and Jim Farley via social media. I suggest you all do the same. It gets responses pretty quick when it’s out in the open.

I'm Lariat ER, Rapid Red, Max Tow, Tow Technology, everything besides exceptions I added. I didn't opt for spray in bedliner because it caused my 21 F150 order to have delays. Now here I am delayed again.
