Gentlemen - see above link - for me it is a deal breaker. The multicontour and blue cruise is the only reason having ordered a Platinum.

My order is still scheduled by May 02nd.

Anybody who ordered a Platinum received any official communication from Ford?

I have a 2022 Platinum on order, and unfortunately, if you want your order to be scheduled, you should opt out of the multicountour seats. I have a 2018 Expedition Platinum and a 2017 Explorer Platinum, both with the multicountour seats. I opted out of the MC seats, with a lot of regret sbecause both my wife and I, with a few back problems enjoy the massaging feature. This is just the supply problem situation. If you want your vehicle within the next 6 months, I suggest you opt out.

My Platinum just pulled a VIN and entered production status. Still shows:

Multi-contour Seats - Drv/pass

Drv/pass Multi-contour Seats

…for me. Knock on wood.

I was told the same thing today by my dealer about the massage seats.

All the plattys online I guess were bought. If you see any, I would suggest calling then and seeing if they have the massage seats one, then see if it's still available.

I wonder if those that got a VIN early might get them or if we're all SOL.
I didn't get a push back email last week so still at 4/25 but maybe that will come today or tomorrow for me...

What's the point of a Platinum if you don't get the nice seats?

Good question

If the platinum doesn’t have the active motion seats I’ll buy a nice Limited with the mocha interior, which I wanted anyway.

Only reason I went Platinum is because we do a LOT of long trips and the massaging seats and blue cruise sounded great, less fatiguing.

I had a 2/28 date of production for platinum. I'll check with dealer tomorrow
Hopefully they have good news
