Thanks TaxmanHog,
Picked mine up on Friday.
No ADM (as promised).
Finance guys tried real hard to sell ESP to me, but I held my ground.
The truck is awesome.
Still getting to know Sync4 and FordPass app.
The included mobile charger works great and I can also use it to charge my Tesla model Y.
Have not tried to charge it using DC fast charge.

Will wave 2 come tomorrow? Does anyone know if the Pro is still available on '23 orders?

Wave-1 PRO-SR offers need to fish or cut-bait today.

Wave-2 aka XLT hold over reservationists who extended previously will be solicited for orders of MY2023 trucks starting Thursday and have 14 days to ponder the opportunity.

Tim B also mentioned that anyone with unscheduled orders for MY2022 trucks, (no VIN) will be sequenced to MY2023 the end of this week.

@TaxmanHog I know it's not you but absolutely bullshit from @Ford Motor Company. To have people from waves 1 and 2 not receive MY22 trucks but those that ordered in wave 7 in June to already have their trucks is absolutely unacceptable.

you’re not wrong, but there some of us with a wave 7 order but no build date, and it now sounds like we will be MY23.

@VTRedWingsFan I feel your pain, I'm unscheduled as well from wave 2. And looks like it's going to a 23 as well. My opinion was just that they should not have done additional waves is they did not have the ability to produce the orders they had already taken. But then to take those additional orders and build them first, before even scheduling the previous orders is completely backwards. Hopefully us that get pushed back will be the first MY23 off the production line.

 

[TaxmanHog]

All together, we have 128 members registered on the forum order list who have not been assigned a MY2022 VIN

86 Waves-1 to 5
25 Wave-6
17 Wave-7

I do not think Ford believed at the time of offering a 4/12 and 6/14 ordering opportunity they would have to defer all these orders this week.

We have 105 builds scheduled or pending on the 2022 production schedule from waves 4/12 & 6/14.

I would have had all those slots assigned to folks who were in ordering waves 1-5, that would have resulted in best production theme utilization and customer satisfaction, with FIFO as best possible.

I Hope you get built first too. I wonder if they will have a delay between delivery for QA on MY23. Also they will maintain the same MY22 pricing? If so that means you would have lots of value in the truck even more so if you get it before 1/1/23 for the tax rebate.

@TaxmanHog 100% agree, surprised it didn't happen that way

@jpepper07 good point, something I didn't think of with the price protection, more value if I decided to resell, although I probably won't lol

 

[tblches]

So, from what I have just been told is that there will be a communication next week, I will need to confirm early September and then it will be scheduled.

The way I take that is I will be getting a MY23.

This is from a Ford Director.

595 total production for the week starting 9/5.

I wonder if Ford is seeing limits on their Battery supply. I can't think of anything else that would cause the drop off the last few weeks. Maybe motors or control electronics?
