Any Updates from Ford?

[SoggyBottomBoy]

My order:

Base GT, Manual, Nite Pony.

Placed my order over 2 months ago, still hasn't been scheduled to be built. Both ford and my dealership can give me 0 info. I know NP has constraints, but it is an absolute must for me, any car is absolutely ugly without black rims/accents, and I refuse to drive a car that doesn't have it out the gate.

Has anyone with a similar build been scheduled yet? Or heard anything about why and when? I have no vehicle atm as mine was totalled and this is my replacement, so I'm getting a bit frustrated not even hearing any updates.

I just connected using Ford Chat this morning. I ordered the car 5/24/23. GT Premium Convertible. Current car status shows "In Production" 7/24/23. I was just told that it has been produced and now has an ETA for delivery 8/1-8/7.

If that proves true, then this 'delay' seems to be tied to their marketing strategy/schedule vs. production limitations or quality issues. Now they may have some parts shortages (like NP). But I'm hoping this is accurate. That would be a very good sign for all of us with outstanding orders.

Now, I really have to exercise personal patience. Because this was my original order and the dealer screwed it up. They left off AVE and I decided not to live without it. So, my actual car isn't scheduled for production until 9/14/23. But I'd be quite happy to see Ford delivering these cars this week and next. That would give me hope that I'll be into mine by October. Hate that delay but it should be worth waiting for.

BTW if someone is interested in the original GT Premium Convertible that I ordered (Vapor Blue, Space Gray, 401A, Performance PKG, Grabber Blue brakes, etc.) WITHOUT AVE, I know where you can pick it up.

My advice would be keep a look out once dealers start getting cars in and just buy one. Dealers ordered them with lots of options including nite pony package. Will be quicker. And if you can’t find one that fits the bill you can just keep waiting for your build to get built.

Definitely will. Don't mind losing the $500 i had to put down if it means getting it sooner.

Great. So I'm looking at another 4 months to even be scheduled. Meaning 6 months till I actually have a vehicle again.

How long after your order did it get scheduled? Mines been 2 months with no schedule

I sent my dealer a long message asking if they could look into why its not scheduled yet, as ford said they'd have more info. My dealer just responds with "Not scheduled yet as per ford"

It’s funny to me how the Ford chat always says your dealer will have more info. My dealer flat out told me that I’ll probably know more/faster information from places like this forum.
Sometimes the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. Much of the frustration expressed on here and other sites could be avoided with better communication all around.

So Ford let us know ours went into production on the 11th of July, then it was the 13, then we got another supply chain issues delay notice, then our dealer emailed and told us that they had great news’s, the car is built and scheduled to be delivered in two weeks. So I called the Ford service number yesterday and they said it still in production and will be for several more weeks

Im guessing someone may know what’s going on but clearly they aren’t the ones communicating with the customers and dealerships. So lots of deep breaths and keep waiting. I’m quite certain it won’t be this August and September 27 will be 6 months for us.
Good luck everyone.
