As always, the most accurate and timely information is available from your Dealer. Unfortunately, not all dealers are good at communicating with their customers about the information they require. In addition, there are Dealers that are ignorant of the tools and assets that are available to them.

The public site only provides limited status information. Your Dealer has 24/7 access to the Vehicle Visibility system which provides the latest information regarding order status, scheduling, production, shipping, etc.

Your vehicle is equipped with the Tough Bed Spray-In Bedliner which is done off-site, The 5th Wheel Hitch Prep Package may also be done off-site. Either of these items could be a cause for the revised ETA being pushed back.

Published ETA's for expected arrival at dealerships are usually accurate but plant production and shipping is being affected for a number of reasons including the microchip shortage, plant down time, weather, etc.

Not knowing what vehicle you have ordered a change in dates would indicate a possible change in the production timetable or a delay due to plant downtime. Production at a number of plants has been interrupted due to the microchip shortage and other factors.

Agreed but nothing much will happen until Ford announces the vehicle officially and releases the production timetable for the ordering, scheduling and the Job #1 Date.

Forget that... OTD referenced to Ford orders is Order-to-Delivery which is only a reference to vehicles included in the newer allocation, ordering and scheduling process.

The Thunderbird nameplate hasn't been a success in over 30 years and can't compare with the Mustang cache internationally.

Understood but if the July production start is accurate they'll have to reveal the vehicle and a scheduling and production timetable very soon. Time will tell!

Considering the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) usually opens 2.5-3 months prior to a Job #1 Date, Ford hasn't announced and revealed the vehicle yet, and there's no production timetable... a July start seems very, very optimistic.

OTD orders are restricted to specific vehicle lines and part of the new vehicle scheduling process for Escape, Edge, Mustang, Mustang Mach-E, Bronco Sport, Lincoln Corsair & Lincoln Nautilus

I can only access orders for my own dealership but you're chasing a dead horse. Once an order is cancelled, the history is erased as well.

Mark Fields... One of the few Ford CEO's that many are trying to forget and someone that so quickly forgot everything that Alan Mulally tried to teach!

Without seeing a copy of the DORA confirmation you reference, I’ll bet that what you have is not a DORA at all. A DORA (Dealer Order Receipt Confirmation) is sent to the Dealer’s terminal the following morning and can only be printed out at the dealership level. There is no way for it to be captured digitally other than being scanned by the dealership. The DORA confirmations have been out-of-date for years and go back to when all orders were submitted via the old CONCEPS ordering system. All Stock, Retail & Plan (A/X/Z/D) orders are submitted to the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) via the WBDO (Web Based Dealer Ordering) system which has been in place for years. Dealers can display and print a “Preview” in the WBDO system showing the order details and pricing, but it is not an order confirmation. The WBDO “Orders” page will show all the orders for a vehicle line that are in the USOB but selecting an individual order will not provide a confirmation. Dealers can make changes to scheduled orders up until the time the order is “Locked In” for production which is approximately 2 weeks before the scheduled production date. Doing so causes the order to be re-sequenced and usually causes the production date to be pushed back at least a week or longer. Dealers have 24/7 access to the Vehicle Visibility system which provides all information for order status, scheduling and shipping updates through final delivery at the dealership. Vehicle Visibility shows the order status (Clean/Unscheduled, VIN Number, Scheduled to Week, Scheduled to Day, In Production, Etc.) and all related updates until the vehicle is delivered to the dealership. Unfortunately, not all dealerships are good at managing their order banks, know what tools are available or communicate with their retail customers. And all too often, Ford enthusiasts rely on what they’re told by Sales Representatives that don’t know either. And you would be surprised to know how many Sales Managers don’t know either! It depends on the size of the dealership, the size of the market the dealership is in and a few other factors. It is extremely, extremely rare for an order to be cancelled unless someone with access to the ordering system selects a particular order and cancels it. It could be someone at the dealership with access to WBDO trying to clean up their USOB and making a mistake but cancelling an order still prompts a confirmation to confirm the order being deleted from the USOB. Once an order is deleted it will not show as such in the Vehicle Visibility system. Hope this helps.

Understood. The range calculation and driving factors also applies to that for ICE vehicles.

My former dealership got it's first 2021 Mustang Mach-E last week which is now in service via the Ford Courtesy Transportation Program. I haven't seen the vehicle yet (Rapid Red Premium AWD w/88KWH Ext Battery) but talked to the General Manager about it yesterday while we were talking about business matters. I still have full access to the FMCDealer.com portal and still provide inventory reports and other services. Anyway, the GM gave the Mach-E an unparalleled rave review for the features, ride quality, performance, etc. His only disappointment is the 8-way power seat instead of the 10-way power seat. The only concern is the available driving range. After driving it for a few days the available range displayed after a full charge was only 214 miles! We've had some cool weather lately in CT (mid 30's with some overnight lows in the teens) but nowhere as cold as it would normally be. So as discussed in many Mach-E posts, the cold weather range is going to be a factor and concern for customers. I'll try to stop by the dealership soon so I can drive the Mach-E myself and post my own comments and photos.

No information available on the 2022MY Aviator until the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) opens on 03/15/2021. The 2022 Lincoln Aviator Order Guide should be available on or about the same time and will be uploaded to the Dealer Order Guides section as soon as it's been released to Dealers.

Recall Notice

And go to all the dealerships and look at all the vehicles in stock with rust on the brake rotors. Of course, the brake rotors should all be replaced! If not, perhaps someone will start a class action suit! Another example of things getting blown out of proportion before the facts are known.
