2023 Corsair orders, build dates

[gtw00]

Just got the call from the dealer. 2023 reserve has been scheduled for production 2/20 (ordered on 10/29)

So today Dec. 7th I received this message;

"Your 2022 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring has been built. We are performing some final inspections on your vehicle and preparing to ship it to your dealer.
Our current estimate for delivery is between December 6, 2022 and December 12, 2022."

Interesting I get the message on the 7th that they are doing final inspections but delivery is anywhere from yesterday to Dec 12th? So much for timely communication!

The saga goes on and on and on. After receiving the Dec. 7th message (above), this is the message (below) I received on Dec. 14... talked with the dealer and they told me they checked with Lincoln and it's definitely built and will be delivered no later than Dec. 22nd. Todays the 26th....no '22 Corsair GT for me yet! Since I also have a '23 model on order this one will NOT be taken if it ever comes in.

I got the same email notification — word-for-word — on December 21 (see below). They're obviously having problems.

Cadillac is also in the same boat as we have a car with missing chips waiting for them to fix. So far looks to be in the springtime.

Not in dire need of new wheels and trying to be understanding and supportive but eventually I'll need to take action and buy something, somewhere, somehow if my current MKX gets too old. A year wait is kind of ridiculous, regardless of supply issues. Feel like we're in the old Russian breadlines sometimes waiting for the scraps!

My 2023 Corsait GT was ordered September 12th 2022. My build date is the week of January 16th 2023.
Fingers crossed.

Todd, My '23 GT model was ordered September 13th (one day later than you) and I've only received the confirmation from Lincoln that the order was received. How long ago did you get a build date and was it from the dealer or Lincoln?

 

[Toddsusan]

On November 17th I rec'd an email from Lincoln showing me my Order # and Vin #. The said it would be built the week of Jan. 9th 2023.
Then on Dec 12th Lincoln sent me another email changing the build date to the week of January 16th 2023 due to a production adjustment.

Thanks...odd I've only received the acknowledgment of the order. It was ordered with every option so maybe something is making mine as a later delivery. Just hope it doesn't turn into the '22 model fiasco and take 10+ month buildout, otherwise maybe it'll be built by Dec of '23!

Keep in mind that order priority has many factors such as your dealer and their ranking with Lincoln. The larger volume dealers get preference. Smaller dealers get less volume when there are shortage of supply. My dealer is the 4th largest Lincoln dealer on the East Coast. I got mine in 2 months time last year because they already had an order in for 4 similarly configured Corsair GT models. The entire truckload of GT models were delivered the same day with mine one of them. It's not order ranking as they come in to Lincoln but based on how many of certain vehicles the dealer is allocated and how much volume history they have with Lincoln. Your dealer may share with you their history and timing of vehicles come to them in the recent past.

Dear

Some of the following is a little bit satirical, and is MY opinion. Apologies in advance, as I know the frustrations many here are having even getting their new Corsairs.

Over the years, I often thought it would be nice to get the upgrades the "next year model" offers. In the Corsair's case, this is (bigger infotainment screen, Sync 4 for example, but losing fog lights) however, with the current supply chain issues, losing the hands free tailgate, and subwoofer, I am glad I have the '22 model, and will continue driving it for the foreseeable future, comfortable in knowing I have a "complete vehicle". I am glad I bought it when I did, and I smile every time I get behind the wheel and drive away, knowing I can quickly fill up with fuel at almost anywhere I choose, and don't have to spend money upgrading my house electrics.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE new tech, (I am often the first of my friends and family to get said new tech) and will likely eventually go EV, but the time is not yet right for me. Our other car is a Hybrid. IF Lincoln made a Hybrid Corsair, I would have one.

They do make a Hybrid Corsair!!

The GT is a Plug in hybrid but it converts to a normal hybrid when you don't plug it in and charge the battery. It then converts to hybrid and fills the battery as a hybrid would do.

Welcome to the forum, and soon to be Corsair ownership!

On another note. Have had a Hybrid Maverick on order since October 2021...lol, re-ordered a 2023 in September 2022. Mostly crickets except a note telling me sorry we are busy and cannot get to your vehicle.
Since I'm curious about the hybrids never owned one I went ahead and ordered a 2023 Corsair GT as well. Dec 29th. One for me, one for the wife.
I have high hopes as its a new dealer and this is their first 2023 GT order. We will see. If it's an allocation thing it should work out.

On Dec 27th received this from Lincoln. Bear in mind it's now Jan 7th and still a "No Show". Since I have a '23 on order I officially cancelled the '22 build and requested my deposit back. The dealer now says even if it came in it couldn't be sold to anyone. There is a recall on the seat belt warning chime and no Corsairs or Aviators can be sold until repaired. Parts are backordered until possibly March! https://www.cars.com/articles/not-r...led-for-seat-belt-warning-malfunction-460890/

I got the same email notification — word-for-word — on December 21 (see below). Even though the photo shows a 2022 Corsair, my order is for a 2023 Corsair GT. They're obviously having problems.

If it wasn't clear in my previous post, my order is for a 2023 Corsair GT... even though the notice from Lincoln shows the grill of a 2022 Corsair.

I have since found out that my Lincoln dealer had used up all of their order allocations for the 2022 calendar year. My order for the 2023 GT was placed in September 2022 but it has been sitting in limbo (with no projected production week) until the end of 2022.

Now that there are updated dealership allocations for 2023, my order should finally move into the production queue. Of course, that brings in all the other obstacles of supply chain issues, yadda yadda. I don't know how this affecting Ford Escape PHEV production... but I guess those are facing the same delays.

At this point, I don't think ANY 2023 Corsairs have been built... regardless if they're ICE or PHEV. Has anyone heard different?

Job #1 was December 12th, 2022. Im not at the plant but one could assume something went down the assembly line.
My Window sticker is now available. Email has my build week starting today. January 9th, 2023
