Reservation date is part of the formula. The mix rate is the other part that will dictate when orders are fulfilled. Mix rate is determined by production capacity of MTP and the suppliers. Fingers crossed that ford used the projected build data to manage the supply chain. Depending on the margin I bet ford goes 10 hour shifts with some Saturdays if the suppliers can keep up.
BTW - sometimes it’s advantageous to not receive a production unit from the first month. In my experience it takes 2-3 months at full rate to settle out production issues, another few to button up most engineering issues. A vehicle built in the first month will have multiple campaigns as it sits on the yard.
