Build date change

With all these “early builds” already being pushed into August (so far) it seems like ‘22 Raptors will be pretty rare.
 
Slightly off topic, but Bronco6G just posted a bunch of photos of raptors that are in Palm Springs this weekend for some kind of event.
 
I know it's just speculation but I wonder what is causing the delays? Did they run the first set down the line and realize they need to do some retooling or something in order to meet demands or lack of parts.

I don't know how many they have built pre-production but after seeing all the Braptors in FL I am like what the hell! Some of those should have been built for customers. You would think as many have been built they would have had all the issues worked out. I have even yet to see a car reviewer actually drive one. This is very odd? Multimillion dollar sports cars are made available for re-production drives all the time yet crickets on the Raptor...
 
Yeah I’m out to 7/25 now (originally 5/30). Somehow I’m not confident it stops there…😏
 
Build dates slipped to August. The Bronco 2023 MY order window opens in August.

I question if any 2022 MY Raptors will be built.
 
I moved to 6/27. Fourth move. Can’t believe those of you that have been pushed to late July and August. It’s ridiculous.
 
I’m just waiting for my salesman to respond.
FYI. My dealer just responded to my inquiry regarding the latest build date move with the following:

Good morning,
There's no dealer priority code to block delays in production. Regional and zone management isn't any help either. What usually creates delays would be unscheduled plant shutdown due to multiple commodity issues, ie: chips or some other parts needed to build vehicles. I ordered a truck for myself Dec 7th and it arrived last week. The original build week was January 16th, April 4 was build date. This new world we are stuck with is creating havoc. I'm sorry your order is being delayed.
 
I got an official email from Ford saying that mine was going into production the week of 6/13. I just checked the backdoor link and it shows the week of 6/27? Which one do I go with? At this point I am going with 6/27.
