So my wife ordered in 21, converted to 22 but did not use reservation...does this mean hers will get built this year or one of the first built 23 models, before new 23 orderers?

I’m not sure truthfully, but I know if you order wasn’t part of COVP you had almost no chance of getting your Maverick this year.
Basically it works like this:
There is a requirement in the COVP program than dealers must sell a certain percentage of COVP orders to customers who placed the original orders (I think its 70%). If they do not, dealers can lose allocation. So to ensure customers are serious about ordering a Maverick, many dealers are requiring non-refundable deposits to anyone who places a COVP order, and many are requiring the customer passes a credit check so they can actually purchase the vehicle when it arrives.
- You submit an order. When you submit an order you provide a copy of your driver’s license.
- If your name/address matches the name/address on the order, the dealer can submit the order for COVP verification.
- If approved, Ford assigns that order a priority code less than 10. Priority codes less than 10 can only be assigned my Ford themselves. (Lower the number the higher the priority.)
- COVP orders are given priority over non-COVP retail orders.
They tried with the Bronco reservation system.They should have done this with the Bronco from the start. They would not be in the position they are today.
I guess I have missed this info. Been too busy watching everyone else enjoying their ride to find it buried in here somewhere.They tried with the Bronco reservation system.
Unfortunately Mach-E and Bronco order holders got to be the guinea pigs. Ford took what they learned on those two vehicles and built much better systems for the Maverick and an ever better system for the F-150 Lightning.
This doesn't mean crap. Ford still can't build and ship trucks at a rate that early reservation holders who are still waiting will get get a truck before the end of the year. Even if they opened the banks they would be behind reservation holders and earlier dealers orders on an identical build, if and only if the dealer they have the order with a dealer who can get allocations. Bigger dealers will get later reservations holders or later dealer orders faster than us early reservation holders at dealers with lower allocations. Until Ford actually prioritizes reservation and order date over the allocation formula we are going to get pushed back and delayed until 2023 or later. Does not affect when you are getting your Bronco one bit, your Bronco isn't getting here any faster by not taking new orders.This needed a new thread for everyone to notice! Multiple people on here and Facebook that work at ford places have said this! Name of “ford store owner” colored over for their privacy in case it matters since it wasn’t posted here.
This dealer here said* COVP orders don't follow the typical allocation system either. They're actually served in order of placement regardless of dealer allocation.I’m not sure truthfully, but I know if you order wasn’t part of COVP you had almost no chance of getting your Maverick this year.
