I ordered an Escape SEL PHEV in June. On an given day or week when Ford is producing escapes, are all trims - ICE, Hybrid PHEV, being manufactured or they produce a batch of ICE, then Hybrid, then PHEVs? I was wondering if ford waits until they receive a certain number of PHEV orders before building a batch or if they build them based only on priority. I am hoping to get mine before the end of the calendar year because I have 10Kw of solar panels and, with high electricity prices, I have a $250 surplus built up with the power company that will zero out in March if I don't use more electricity.
