Fathom launch on track for Q4 2027. Validation Testing 90% complete (+ more updates from Q3 2026 earnings call)

The update on castings and suppy chain confirmations lends credibility to deliveries during third quarter of 2027. 100,000 vehicles in a year delivered is 270 vehicles a day. Allowing for 10% downtime you still have to produce 250 vehicles a day for delivery. If you label it a 2028, which is a given, and stretch out the production window to 18 months, and actually begin building an inventory of finished product in second quarter, the credibility for meeting a quota looks more realistic.

There were a lot of delays for Maverick customers due to production limits on certain options. Ford and their dealers tried convincing buyers to drop certain options to get their truck built quicker. A simple thing like ordering all weather mats could cause the build to be delayed. I was willing and able to wait because my truck was going to be a second vehicle.

True on my order also.

I had a Hard Drop-in Bedliner on the order and that was a late availability item.

So I dropped that from the order and got scheduled the next week.

After I got the Maverick the Hard Drop-in Bedliner was available in January 2022 and I used my Ford Points and got it for free.

I ordered my Maverick in the summer of 2021 and didn't get it until fall 2022. 13 months

Have you beat! I ordered my 2016 Focus RS in September 2015 and it was delivered December 2016. 15 months!

I Ordered my MY2022 Maverick Hybrid on 8/23/21. it was Scheduled on 9/16/21, Built on 11/29/21, Shipped 11/30/21 and Delivered 12/13/21.

That was less than 4 months from ordering to delivery.

I gotcha all beat. 480 days from order to delivery for my Maverick: 10/29/21 to 2/21/23. I’d given up and was looking at alternatives when I got my production email towards the end of ‘22. Hopefully Ford will be better prepared for the Fathom.
