Build and price goes live on May 31st even though the order bank opens on may 26th.

Well people that have a good honest dealer will, but those are few and far between. Nice to see the greedy ones starting to have tons of F-150s piling up on their lots now still trying to sell them over sticker.

The keypad makes phone as key work imho. On both my old Mach-E and my Lightning I’ve only used my fob on the first drive home and for service. Keypad ensures that if my phone dies/breaks/lost I can still get in my car. Love the keypad, though I prefer the “hidden” look on the Mach-E to the “squishy” buttons on the Lightning.

Sad how they keep decontenting (yes, I know Edge is on its last legs, but still... I love having the phone option, as it works well beyond what the fob can do as you mention, but would still like to have the keypad. I got the stick on kind for my Bronco, and put it in the gas cap so I wouldn't have to look at it lol.

Finally, my F250 King Ranch has a production date for the week of 29 May! Received the notice from Ford on Thursday 11 May. Ordered a 2022 on 1/4/22 and was bumped to a 2023. 2023 order placed 11/14/22. "We are excited to let you know your 2023 Super Duty F-250 King Ranch Crew Cab has been scheduled for production. Your vehicle is scheduled to be built the week of May 29, 2023" F250, King Ranch Star White, 7.3L Godzilla and moonroof.

I expect it to show up when the order banks open on the 26th.

Mach-e production will increase going forward now that production has ramped up after expansion of the Cuautitlán Stamping and Assembly Plant. CAP produced 11,858 Mach-e's in April https://fordauthority.com/2023/05/2023-ford-mustang-mach-e-production-up-sharply-in-april/ If they can keep it up, Ford should have 600k Bevs on the ground by New Years Eve on those alone, plus the Lightning. gm is rolling out new models, Ford is rolling out new models VWG, Stellantis Volvo JLR, lots to choose from.

"Any plan won't survive its first encounter with reality. The reality will always be different. It will never be the plan." -Jeff Bezos We are almost at mid-year. How close are they to that 600,000 number right now?

We have contacted the dealership a few times. We’ve dealt with the owner for the past 31 years and he has always been great at providing information. Unfortunately between the time we ordered and now the dealership has been sold. They seem a bit disorganized. According the the salesman it should hav arrived at the dealer last week.

Not hard at all - I just explained it in one sentence. I think you mean it’s frustrating to have to explain it over and over.
