Worried !! Ford halting production

[JasonSTL]

Here in MO, I have 6 months from the date I sold/sell my Gen 2 to use the sales tax toward a replacement vehicle. I’m hoping it gets here by December or I’m out $5k. Dealer said my build was scheduled the week of August 9th.
I take these updates as they are still building trucks and hopefully that doesn’t delay scheduled builds too much.

I will sell mine for 100k right now. Any takers?

I will sell mine for $99,500.

For the time we are in,build dates are subject to move. Also look at how many F150’s they have parked in a lot waiting on parts to complete them.

Dealer by me has sold orders sitting in a lot somewhere that were built in May and still not showing delivered.

it’s gonna be bad y’all.

I believe a majority of the order sitting are a combination of stock and customer orders. Also Ford has announced they will not be keeping big inventories for the long term future.

Ford Inventory Levels Will Not Return To Pre-Pandemic Highs

Ford inventory levels will not return to pre-pandemic highs, according to Kumar Galhotra, president of the Americas and International Markets Group.

The Dearborn automaker is adjusting production plants at the following plants in North America to prioritize those builds, it said:

• Chicago Assembly Plant will be down the weeks of July 5, 12, 19 and 26 and will run two shifts the week of August 2. The plant builds the Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor Utility and Lincoln Aviator and according to Ford's website employs more than 5,800 people.
• Dearborn Truck Plant will run two crews the weeks of July 12, 19 and 26. The plant builds the Ford F-150 and F-150 Raptor and employs 4,400 people, according to Ford's website.
• Flat Rock Assembly Plant, which employs more than 2,400, will be down the weeks of July 12 and 19. Workers there build Mustangs.
• Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico, which employs more than 2,800 and builds the Bronco Sport, will run one of two shifts the weeks of July 12 and 19.
• The F-150 line at Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri will be down the weeks of July 12 and 19. The plant's Transit line will be down the week of July 19. That plant employs more than 7,200 people, according to Ford's website.
• Kentucky Truck Plant will be down the week of July 12 and will run two shifts the weeks of July 19, 26 and August 2. That plant, which builds Ford F-250–F-550 Super Duty Trucks, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, employs nearly 9,000 people.
• Louisville Assembly Plant, which builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair and employs more than 4,000, will run on a reduced schedule the week of July 19.
• Oakville Assembly Complex in Canada will produce only the Nautilus the weeks of July 19, 26 and August 2. The plant also builds the Ford Edge.

Michigan Assembly Plant — which just launched production of the highly-anticipated Ford Bronco, and also builds the Ford Ranger — will be down the weeks of July 5 and July 26 due to "an unrelated part shortage," Ford said.
going to be a mess for some times!

Throw in a 2x4 and its a deal.

This may be a dumb question, but lets say some of our orders start being delivered when the MY22 order books start opening up. Any thoughts on trying to talk the dealers down on price, even if at MSRP, since MY22 Raptors will be made/delivered right on the heels of 21s? Why pay full MSRP for a truck that will be a MY older in a few months?
