I spoke to Dennis again at Team Ford in Vegas.
I wanted to cancel the CF package to help 'speed up' the order process.
He made it very clear, after hearing several people asking to cancel the CF package with the same hopes, that it is not needed.
When the order is pulled from ford, to be given a VIN etc, they immediately inform the dealer if a 'part' or 'configuration' is not available for supply or cancellation reasons.
He said it is the dealers job, who is in formed immediately of the issue, to contact the customer and see what they want to do. If they then remove that 'part or item', the build continues.
There is a 'good' time period before the order is just 'held' or 'cancelled'. It is not an immediate hold forever or 'put to the end of the line' status from it.
He said cancelling it at this point, is just silly. It may come back into 'play or stock' any time and if I really wanted it, then why cancel it, when my order hasn't even been pulled yet.
Basically said that any dealer that tells customers by 'cancelling' or 'changing' a config it gets their order 'taken' by ford faster is just not knowing what they are saying.
What is 'in' an order is not a factor for ford to pull it sooner or later.
Hope this clears some things up for some people.
