Hello hello! Long time lurker here! Eagerly(but patiently) awaiting my 2023 PHEV order, but I’ve got a question. I was scheduled for week of 3/6 a while back, but the tracker spot is still blank for scheduled week of. Does this mean I’m not actually scheduled? Tia

The factory is idle through at least Feb 24. Any vehicles not already on the production line need to have their build dates adjusted. With the backlog of vehicles and the need to "catch-up", we're probably going to see a lot of moving dates for several weeks or months.

That sucks
I have a 3/20 production date an a lease end date of 4/4. I was hoping not to have to extend my lease
FYI, it looks like Ford increased the price of the 2023 Escape PHEV by $2000! 
I ordered one about a month ago, but I still like to play around with the build and price for fun and that's how I just noticed that the PHEV starts at $40,500 instead of $38,500 (Talking US dollars - I'm in the US). It looks like the prices of the other trims are unchanged. I'm going to post this in the "Dealers & Pricing" discussion area as well.

Some Active and ST lines also got an increase ($250-$500 range) but nothing compared to the PHEV. Make sure your dealer did COVP on your order. If they did then your order price will be protected. But the usual procedure is that after you close on your purchase you will get a check back from the dealer for the difference. Can take 45-60 days to get it back. Unless the dealer wants to deduct the $2000 at time of sale but that’s not the normFYI, it looks like Ford increased the price of the 2023 Escape PHEV by $2000!

Thanks for the info. I had to look up COVP to understand what you meant. I'm going to follow up with the dealer to confirm they did COVP.

New article saying the plant is in a total shutdown. I was able to get into a paywalled article from The Courier and it quoted a worker saying there is not a return to work date set yet.
Moved all of the above oil change frequency posts to the existing thread discussing this. Any future oil change frequency posts in this thread will be deleted
Any chance of showing the thread URL the discussion was moved to?
No use getting upset as I am moving on.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Was rushing. Anyway, here is the location I moved it to.

Tomorrow (Thursday) starts the scheduling of 2023 Escapes. Hopefully the leftover 2022’s don’t take up too many spots. Fingers crossed but how to check order status from ford tracking system, not working for my side

I tried using the link you posted, but nothing came up when i entered my info for my Escape.
I have a valid VIN and order number
Does this tracking work for all types of fords?

The person you're replying to slightly modified this post from the fall and added a link to a domain that was registered less than two weeks ago. I wouldn't trust that link.

Progress on software fix? https://fordauthority.com/2023/02/2023-ford-escape-lincoln-corsair-production-pause-extended/
The links were removed as it appears the person is spamming the forum with dodgy tracking links. This appears to be the official Ford US order tracking site https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking/
Thank you for posting the link to Ford's order tracker. Our Escape, ordered 9/24, is now scheduled to be built on the week of 3/20. We'll see I guess. My dealership was keeping my updated as I'd not received but two emails directly from Ford. The initial order confirmation and the 1st 45-day notice but nothing else.

Did you see that date in the tracker?
i Got an email in Janunary that my build week was 3/20 but that date never appeared in the tracker I ordered mine 12/29
Yes, that was from Ford’s website after I put in my VIN and order #. My dealer had been giving me partial screenshots from what must be their own dealer portal with the same rough info.
