Have to scroll up and see the build week column that shows what they are doing.

 

 

 

 

you are reading his posts wrong.  The latest one is the only one that is currently relevant. This week they are scheduling builds for the week of 11/22/21. The week of October 4th they were doing cleanup scheduling, that has already happened.

Yep, that's exactly what I saw.  Says "cleanup scheduling" for a number of models...  But not for Super Duty.

Please note that this was posted for scheduling effective 4th October. For this week, they are scheduling for 22nd November.

 

Right, exactly.  Forgot to mention I had looked at this week's notes, was not referring to the image posted.

I read these scheduling notices for what are they planning in the future and if you look at previous posts you can see the build week for our current week.

 

IE scheduling right now is for 11/22 but if I was interested to see what’s being built this week I would read the build week info from a previous scheduling post.  
 

Maybe I’m reading this wrong since I’m fairly new at the waiting game.  Ordered and confirmed on 10/4

 I find the information listed here very interesting and someone correct my if my figures are wrong.  You have 250,000 Superduty Trucks in the unscheduled order bank right now, they can build 8600 trucks a week probably running 3 shifts 7 days a week.  If they stop taking orders today that would take them well into the 2023's.  And that is without any other hiccups in the system.  For me personally purchasing a new super duty is just a retirement gift to my self I can keep driving my 91 F250 until they figure this out.  For others who really need these trucks and they are not brand loyal like myself will go somewhere else.  My question is what is Ford Motor Co. solution to this problem.

1) Will they cancel a bunch of orders

2) Will they honor your order for a 2023 at a 2022 price.

 

 When Ford first released the Mustang on April 17 1964 they were hoping to sell 80,000 cars that year.  They took 25,000 orders the first day.   They were building the Mustang along side the Falcon at Dearbourn.  They immediately took action by pulling the Falcon out of Dearbourn and build just Mustangs and also having mustangs built at San Jose within 6 months.

The 65 and 66 model year they built over a million cars.  They did this with the technology we had in the 60's.  One would think we could respond alot faster to demand 60 years later...

1. Probably, We dont know the ratio of stock orders to retail. I imagine a lot of stock orders will get cancelled as the balance out date looms. I imagine all retail orders that are taken will get built. Remember they dont balance out the Superduty until like June.

2. Nope.
