You need to have waited 5 months or more before you become eligible for emails explaining delays
Wish someone had told me I could have ordered in October. I asked the dealer to LMK when I could, and they never called. My first time doing this with Ford, so I'm still learning how all this goes. I wouldn't be [as] worried about it, but my current family vehicle isn't doing well.

Just got a shipped email with estimated delivery last week of April. Is this real? Where’s Ashton Kutcher…I’m getting punked!
4/7 get notification from FMC . Taking longer than expected
4/8 dealer calls and says we have the title. Factory says it’s waiting materials and in the meantime the truck is in storage. Gonna be a while
4/9 (at 3:18am) vehicle built. Delivery 4/21-4/27
i pull up tracker today and it’s shipped
I will post this on production thread. I’m pessimistically optimistic

LOL. Nah, I ordered February 18 and got the same email. Actually, I got it twice, 4 minutes apart. A dealer placed an order without my permission or consent on February 11. He was supposed to just be pricing it for me. He did, and he's almost $2500 higher than the dealer I did order from on the 18th. Anyone know if I can contact Ford and cancel the first? Dealer didn't seem to care when I told him I was going with someone else. He'll just sell it on the lot and knows it will sell.
Me, too. Back in October all of the dealers around me were trying to push '21's. I asked sometime in the fall and was specifically told I couldn't yet but to check back "in a couple months." I'm still learning, also, and am in a somewhat similar situation. Our current vehicle (Toyota Highlander) is about to break 200k miles. Thankfully it still seems solid and reliable for us, as Toyota's reputation generally supports.

2022 Infinite blue max limited 4x4 302A, CCD, RES. I know there were availability issues with RES but there was some information from Ford Authority late March stating this should be available

Gotcha, I ordered 11/5 and wanted RES, but I took it off so I could get it sooner. Atleast I thought I would.

Got another email today. Well, emails again. The one I actually ordered on 2/18 is scheduled for production the week of 6/20.
The other one, discussed above, placed without my permission or consent on 2/11 is also scheduled for production the week of 6/20. It irks me that it might slow mine, or one of yours, down even by one vehicle. Just doesn't seem right and I wish I knew how to cancel it or something.
