Definitely, misleading in that they try to make one think we are getting a 2023. In reality it just says we are in line which is no different than being in line the previous years.

… notably also does not say you’re getting a ‘23. @Ford Motor Company will continue to screw all us early timestamps with the allocations game.

Got it.

Great, I am "in line", not "first in line" any more like they said last year.

Guess what, any other person who places an order for a 2023 is in line too.

Nothing to see there.

It’s weird because last week I finally got scheduled for the week of 10/10 but I also got this email.

Crickets here.

I assume if you don’t get one you may have a good shot at getting yours built this year, anyone know if this is true?

"Lol you've been bumped.. Hey since you've been bumped you have the opportunity to spend more for two additional trims for 2023"

Tbh if I was bumped from 22-23 (may even be a slight chance to be bumped 21-23.) I'd go jeep.

Im in the same boat iv not got a single email since my order

Has anyone without a reservation received this email?

I got an email last night bumping my build date from week of Sep12 to Sep19. Looks like I’m still on-deck for my CO in the 22my.

For anyone sad about being bumped out of the Cyber Orange model years... I might consider trading for a yellowstone or robins egg blue heritage edition

I got one of these emails, but I also got a 10/17 build date last week.

Who knows what going on over there in dearborn.

Does anyone just not get emails from Ford? I had received the first email that I had an order placed and it showed me the little mockup image of the build. But nothing since? The order is not linked to my account online? I can ask ford chat and they can search it for me using my order number and dealer number but other than that nothing? I feel like I should be getting them because even my salesman on occasion has been like oh yeah you got that email right? And I’m like what email? That’s why I’m bugging my dealer all the time for information. I was a walk in order in early January of this year.

You have nothing to worry about if you were a walk in order this year... You'll get yours before all of us who placed reservations in 2020.

On a more serious note, have you contacted support about attaching your reservation to your ford account? I'm guessing something isn't linked in the backend...

Once you have your build date/VIN, you are locked in to a model year. They can delay your build but it will still be MY22 and orange.

I hear you. It shouldn’t be that way no matter how much I want it, it should’ve absolutely been chronological from the start.

I did ask them about it and they said my dealer would need to submit for some kind of authorization for it. I went into my dealer maybe a week or two ago and showed them the chat thread to make sense of it and I feel like I kind of got blown off. I can tell they’re starting to get frustrated with everyone questioning these orders but I’m sorry maybe if your company was better at communicating we wouldn’t feel the need to check with our dealers all the time.

After no email from Ford I called them this morning. My thought was that since I didn't get an email I may have been picked up for a 2022. According the the Ford customer service, my order is still in "process" and has not been picked up. Tomorrow 9/8 is the final day for 2022 scheduling. If I am not picked up tomorrow it will be a 2023.

Got the same email. Does anyone know if price protection remains in place? July 2020 res date. Frustrating to see folks running around town who reserved months later with the same build. Makes zero sense to me. This is my first experience with a new Ford. Lack of logic and the lack of communication seem to be the mantra
