So their order summary on their ford.com account shows the new pricing now?
I was a Wave 1 order so I'm unsure, I was just repeating what others had been saying happened to their orders.

Last wave ended September 30th, right?

10 days into October - I was expecting the next wave by now.

I’m anxious to be disappointed yet again!

I heard wave 4 invites are populated on the dealer reservation report so I would assume this week or next.

I hope (pray) I'm in this next wave. I ordered early on 20 May.

I received an email from Ford Corporate about 10 minutes ago saying that 2023MY reservation-to-order conversion waves should begin shortly. It also said they expect most reservation holders to be invited to order by Summer 2023.

My reading of "most" is that Ford is not going to have many 2023MY Pro units available, and may favor large fleet buyers.

I received that e-mail as well. It's exactly the same wording as in the survey a few weeks back.

I'm skeptical it means I'll be getting an order invite, as my day-1 reservation was #26 at my dealer - which I assume means they prioritized 25 other people ahead of me - and there were still 22 in front of me when I spoke to them last week. So either ~20 of those people cancelled, or it's just a form mail that they are sending out to everybody.

I hope it's the latter, 'cause with the current pricing and feature deletion I'm not going to buy a 2023. Maybe in 2024 they'll let us buy Pro ERs. Though given the BS level in this process, unless they're going to throw a pile of cash on the hood I'm probably done buying new Fords at this point.

I received that email as well. I remember when Wave 3 came out, a lot of people got those and I didn't, and I ended up not ordering. My hope is that this means maybe we're in the next wave. I'm not sure if anyone captured the rate of those who got that email last time that also got invited to order for MY23.

Got the e-mail as well. Reserve day 9/17. Not getting my hopes up too high but I recall seeing some posts here and elsewhere that these type of e-mails came before Wave 3 orders.

I got the survey leading up to wave 3, but no invite. Go this one too, not expecting to order until summer 2023 though. :)

I will add that I have one of those 'backdoor' pro trim orders and I do not yet have a scheduled production date. My price has not changed and base MSRP is still shown @ $46974

My dealer contact emailed me today to let me know Ford will be picking up my reservation for an order this wave and that I should receive an invite email to order by Friday. She also mentioned only Lariat and Platinum trims are available.

Exciting stuff, looking to order a Lariat ER

Wow, no XLT. Well, here comes the burn through the backlog of reservations.
