Except for the First Edition per our Ford rep. Have also heard that the only way to change dealerships is to cancel and re-reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also heard that if you reserved a First Edition you are stuck with that dealership. I have a customer with a FE reservation that wants to move it to my dealership. I would love to accommodate him.

silvrsvt Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I think the FE is over sold IMO, so that’s why their is more restrictions on it. Edited July 21, 2020 by silvrsvt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellanca Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Haven't been this excited for a vehicle in a long time; so I went ahead and reserved one; I'm thinking a 2-door Outer Banks in Area 51.

If they were going by normal dealer allocation there would be zero reason to reserve one. You'd just get in line with your local dealer like all other vehicles. Makes no sense to take reservations, let the buyer pick their dealer then tell them sorry we can't build yours because your dealer doesn't have any allocation. What if a dealer has 10 reservations for a FE but normal allocation is only 2. What happens to the other 8? I guarantee you that reservations get built before dealer stock and without regard to dealer allocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue I can see coming is with First Editions since obviously those will be among the very first ones built (and they're limited editions) but after that they could change allocation rules or eliminate them outright and literally just go first come first serve in the order the reservation came in.

Ford is still trying to figure out how many will transfer into orders if it’s 100% (which it won’t be) that would be projected volume for the first year. Also getting into some discussion on how the launch sequence will go to make sure this launch goes as flawless as possible. While making every effort to make sure people with first edition orders get those units first. Ford knows it’s not going to make everyone happy but is going to do the best it can. As of now they are apparently going to try and build in the order sequence for reservation holders. Still a lot of TBD on how allocation is going to be figured as state franchise agreements all play into that as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Should be interesting how the COVID situation plays into this also...if it flares back up to the point its a big issue in the Fall/winter. I know I'm not expecting to go back full time to my place of work til the new year. I visit once in a while to do things I can't do from home.

Not quite. The distribution was supposed to be 3,500 total between both 2 and 4 door. The system glitches on launch night caused this. The reservation system was set to shut down FE reservations once they hit a number close to 3,500. With the immense lag in both login authentications and payment processing, by the time the system flagged the FE stop sale there were so many reservations in process that nearly 7,000 got thru. Just about all 7,000 those spots were taken by late Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way they didn’t open it back up so much as they didn’t cancel the ones who already had a reservation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Anyone know what the reservation limits are for the other trims? Ford's website is already saying that due to high numbers of reservations, deliveries may extend into CY 2022. Deliveries start has slipped from April to June next year so, I'll be curious to see how much actual dealer stock there is.....
