That they raised your priority (gifting you a lower priority #) is welcome, but it is local only. When Ford comes around looking at dealers and their orders, those with lowest priority # often get picked up first or sooner. But there are a lot of factors. For example, if options are delayed are...

I'm not sure there's going to be a clear-cut answer on this one. Everyones' situation is different. Initially, I'd check Ford from their web site, and the local dealer web site, to see what they have on offer, without talking to anyone. Set that aside. This exercise is really more for...

Agreed. It's like, "Why isn't Ford doing this now?" I can appreciate expenses and all. Even if Ford breaks even on the idea, it's win/win for all of us. Some Mustang models past were produced with an Owner Welcome Kit. https://www.teamfordconnect.com/owner-welcome-kit Having a VIN/car...

I think it's still going to be a bit more of a wait. While we've seen the cars in the wild and we know they are in production, I don't believe anyone reviewing or that can compare one to the other has one. Several Members have posted some great insight, but actual hands-on comparisons, we're...

When the thread started, I found the following articles. I suppose the most recent problems, in CY 2022, might be carrying over into 2023. Many manufacturers enter into long-term contracts to secure materials. If someone makes a specific hue or has a specific element which is now in short...

^ This. For anyone driving infrequently, a tender should be one of the 1st mods to do. Modern cars are a lot like modern electronics: they almost never shut off. Lots of good choices here. The tender can be hard-wired to the car, allowing for quick connects and disconnects. Regarding insurance...

The glare and reflections on the screens have been an interest and concern of mine. However, the aftermarket has materials which can be custom cut or installed to reduce that while protecting the surface. Once the S650 is in the wild, I'd think model-specific offerings will be available. I...

I didn't realize there are so many wheel options? :crazy: Maybe Ford could dedicate less time to designing and making wheels while giving more resources to making the blasted parts I've got on backorder. :curse: LOL. :giggle: With respect to wheel style, IMO, no wrong answers. It's going to...

Yes. Check window stickers. In the upper-right, there are a set of numbers, "###/###." The second ### refers to the amount of cars entering the line that day, the Blend Day (see dates on top of sticker, towards center or the bottom of sticker). The first ### refers to where that particular car...

I wasn't aware of some makers and the possible need for a scanner-type tool to enter this mode. So there's that. The steps from Ford, while appreciated, could be frustrating to simple-minded people like myself. As commented above, I'm not trying to launch the Space Shuttle. All this wizbang...

After the initial deposit (if any), I'm not sure the dealer is going to accept still more monies, before the car arrives. I'd think the topic (financing or cash at close) would be settled as the order initially went in. The salesperson I worked with was indifferent to deposit amounts. They...

Yes. It's normal. Might give a customer some promising leads.

Slick. :like: So your blend date was May 11th. You were 825 on the line of 1125 on the day your build started.

It's the initial pivot, the first generation, towards providing infotainment, entertainment and gamification (words used in reviews) to vehicles' interiors. As the tech becomes cheaper, much of what's witnessed today should not be as clunky, obvious, or obnoxious in future builds (any vehicle)...

When you have time, go back and check your order status, at the Ford web site. https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/ Once "In Production", you should be gifted access to an electronic form of the car's Window Sticker. I got mine the day after I entered production. I'd block up to two...

Setting any vehicle appearance or maintenance issues aside, there are practicalities to Winter storage. It's not uncommon to pickup large amounts (tens of pounds) of frozen ice, sand and other bits over the course of a single daily commute. When this happens, the truck stays outside, until it's...

Depending on the color, something related to consider: a clear vinyl wrap, the entire car, in matte.

Previously, Ford would not build cars fixed with Summer tires during the Winter months. I'd have to get the dates from earlier model years, but it's like sometime in October, they stop building those specific orders. And as a new MY would begin, orders requiring Summer tires would not be built...
