To chime in on the pity party; ordered a Ford Mustang Mach E at the start of April 2021. Original estimate was 3 months to delivery. Currently the delivery estimate is 10 months, but no one seems to be able to tell if that's real or not.

At current pace, ford will produce around 64k ME annually when they reach a year of full production. That is about 1/5th of Tesla's 2020 US production.

Meanwhile Tesla's Texas model Y factory is about to open and add another 500k to their annual capacity.

If demand is similar for both cars, I think you will be driving a Tesla sooner.

Mach E manufacturing is a joke. They recall all cars produced until summer because roof fell off. Right now they stop sales because of seat-bells. They have door opening issues all the time(check youtube).

Ford's overall EV production in their only Mexico plant in 2021 will be ~40k. While Tesla added Giga Berlin in Giga Texas in January, that pushes their production capacity to 2 millions/year. 2022 probably will be 1.4-1.5m tough.

Buying EV from Ford nowadays is like buying a car from a small startup. Even Rivian and Lucid will beat them in 1-2 years lol

The problem with form they don't make money on these EV's for them it's an experiment you're paying for. They makes production artificially low since they don't know what to do with EV's. Electric F150 planned volume is also a joke.

Good luck waiting for your car.
