2023 Corsair orders, build dates

If you contact a Concierge again ask if they will supply your priority code. A #2 means you are next n line if all the parts and equipment are available. Much like your original post. If still a 10 or 11 you have a while yet.
Thanks, I was going to contact them again tomorrow. They said "you can call weekly for an update" but I think that would just give me weekly angina...... 😫
 
Had a frustrating call from my Lincoln salesman this morning. He's a good guy and I do believe he's giving me honest information, at least as good as he's being told. He said he continues to track my 2023 order every Thursday and so far no VIN has been issued (this I knew) and that so far no 2023 orders from dealers have been built. He said a Lincoln rep said they haven't started the Production line back yet as things are "on hold", no explanation of why. Furthermore, he told them he needed some info as to when I could possibly see my order in Production since my '22 GT order took 11 months (Feb '22 to Jan '23) to be built, was delivered after Jan 1 and that I didn't take it for that reason. He was told they have "no idea of timing and that they are concentrating on building the Escape orders first, as they take less production content (parts). Surprisingly, my '22 GT order is still in their inventory for sale. I expressed surprised it wasn't snatched up and his reply was "well it was fully loaded (as is my '23 order) and honestly there doesn't seem to be much interest in it anymore"! I asked if he's still having any customers place anymore '23 orders and he said the order cycle is closed, they can't place any. He then told me they had 2 other customers place orders for '23 models and that was it.
Now my quandary is, do I wait potentially 11 months again or should I bite the bullet and start shopping a Lexus NX PHEV or Volvo XC60 PHEV, or BMW X5 PHEV? Hate to abandon American companies and American made but enough is enough if they can't deliver. At least if I decide on BMW they are made here and qualify for the tax incentive.

You won't find any of those vehicles either. Even Hyundai and Kia have low inventory. Lexus won't even take build requests

Well I've spent the last few days revisiting my original decision matrix and deciding if I want something other than the Corsair GT. End result, the Corsair is still the best vehicle of choice, for me. So, I've decided to cool my jets and just put my new car itch in hibernation mode until Lincoln delivers my GT....someday!
 
Idk how true it is but one of my co workers had ordered a 23 Nautilus but a 23 Corsair arrived that the person who ordered it cancelled. He went to look at it Friday but didn’t have time to make a deal. He said he was going back Monday. I told him if he gets it I want a picture. The 23 Corsair has been like trying to find big foot lol

Let us know....I'll believe it when I (or you) see it
 
So, a friend of friend with insight to the Louisville Assembly Plant said the assembly line is finally running today - albeit slowly. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
 
Hey everyone,

I am new to this forum and have been driving the Corsair since its release in 2020 - I absolutely adore my car. It would be fantastic if Lincoln could provide some kind of recognition to those who pre-ordered the Corsair and still are waiting.

On another note, I wanted to share some videos with you all. I am unsure if anyone has come across them, but I discovered a short clip on YouTube featuring a dealer stepping into a 2023 Corsair!

 
Reminded co worker for pic he said he is going Wednesday now. We shall see. None of us will be holding our breath lol
I have a suspicion it's a 2022 model or maybe a pre production unit for show and tell. Potential customers see, feel, touch and drive. But not for sale.

Then again I have been wrong before...;)
 
Just read this from a Lincoln Sales Associate who posted on Facebook:

Finally got an answer on what’s causing the delay of the 2023 Corsair!
Answer: Software
Since the 2023 Corsair is introducing a lot of new Driver Assistance features to the line, there are a lot of eyes on it. Lincoln is set on making sure the launch is successful.
Bottom line: They want to make sure the new vehicles perform well on the road.
As a gamer, I’ve been disappointed by a lot of developers launching games before they’re ready. It’s good to see Lincoln taking the opposite approach.

Some of the pre-production vehicles may have now been released to dealers with the software patch that was holding up regular production now being applied. Who knows!

One would have to guess we are not the only people calling Lincoln Concierge asking about their order. Possibly someone???? made a decision to send vehicles to select dealers for show and tell. They have done this before.

Called Concierge on Sunday he had no clue what was going on with my build , been waiting since September 27 2022 for Corsair 2023. He also had no idea what a priority number was. My dealer couldnt find it either. My build date had been moved to April 5th. Original date was December 11th. This has been a long carousel ride... round and round.

I would call back again. That information is available to them. Maybe a nubie.
Dealer has that information too. Guess you need to talk to someone that cares.

I've been waiting on a Ford Maverick. Every time I have used the chat function the representative was able to tell me my priority code.

I trust you have your sales code and order code when talking.

I ordered mine on January 27th and got the confirmation right away. Then starting Feb 9th, my dates match yours exactly. I guess our cars will be siblings 😀
 
My date was moved from May 15 to May 8. That must mean they are making progress.
