Anybody get this email from Ford?

What a bummer. Can't imagine how frustrated you reservation holders must be feeling.

Assuming Ford's supply chain explanation is true (and it's not a quality issue like they're having with the super duty trucks), any guesses as to what the hold up would be? I presume it's specific to DH and not GT or Ecoboost.

I hope this isn't another parts shortage for the S650 Mustang but a late announcement covering what's already going on...

"We understand it has been too long since you last heard from us. Today, we wanted to give you an update on the status of your Mustang Dark Horse order.

Unfortunately, continued supply chain issues are slowing things down. We're working diligently to try and reduce these delays.

Now here's our promise to you. We know that waiting for delivery of your Ford is far less fun than actually driving it. So, we commit to updating you as soon as we can, at least once every 45 days regarding your vehicle's production schedule status. No matter what.

Thank you for your patience and understanding."

Yes, I got the same email yesterday. Hope it’s a mistake, received same on for my 2022 custom order, and days later, received vin #.The car took a week or so to build and 5 weeks to ship. Arrived with trunk carpet hanging down and dented dash placard. 400 miles, trany stuck in 1st gear and assembly replaced. Then the drivers seat faulty. Final straw, headliner separated and - at 1,400, needed new trany. Lemon experience not great. So I wait for 2024 and hope that new CEO is checking for quality. BTW, 2024 order processed on 3/29.
