going to read between the lines here, and this is postulation and hypothesis.

But I know one thing that can happen between now and when MY23 production starts. A new supplier can be spun up and readied. and I'd put a fiver down right now that that's what Ford just did. Told Webasto to go get fucked and that they're filling any orders under contract, and that some other company is handling the important shit, since Webasto certainly can't
Kind of what I was thinking. Combine the language in the email with @PREMiERdrum comment that something "ugly" was happening that he can't talk about. I think that adds up to Webasto completely losing the contract for the mod tops.

If anybody is interested, I'd consider $150,000 for the FE that I have on order.

I apologize if this has already been answered, but did other people with build dates receive this email as well or is it just me - and if so - does that mean I no longer have a build date? Thanks.

Whatā€™s bad about August? Better than no build in 2021.
You donā€™t get the hard top prep kit. Iā€™m going to wait for the first two weeks of July emails to go out and then make the change, if thatā€™s what I decide to do.

7/13 res and no vin yet. I just changed to a soft top in fear that if I didnā€™t I wouldnā€™t get a 2021.
I hope they don't schedule your build before september.

Switch to the company the makes the Jeep tops!!! Went camping a few weeks ago and just about everyone with an RV has a Jeep and they all had MIC and colored matched tops. What is the freaking problem!!!! Ford wasn't reinventing the wheel with these tops!!
im pretty sure that is WEBASTO as well...

70k and I left a lot of boxes unchecked. I am sure it is a great vehicle but at that price I would just get an F250 Lariat Tremor with the 7.3l and put 15k in my pocket.
I'm not going to lie - it's definitely pricier. You're also getting more as far as comfort and finish (I mean, in your build, heated and cooled seats, a really nice sound system that is standard on the SE, a whole bunch of tech (aside from the added adaptive cruise, it can read speed limit signs and adjust, and the adaptive cruise does stop and go, and then there are all the cameras around the vehicle for views). My Badlands build comes in north of $55k. The price difference is basically my trade-in and I honestly hesitated at the price because I remembered it's getting close to the price of my first house (at the time, I lived in Ohio, and it was... longer ago than I care to remember), but the wife convinced me I could afford it, liked it, and "deserved it", so that was helpful. šŸ˜

OFFER THE FASTBACK SOFT TOP TO THE 2DR. Many plan to do it aftermarket anyway. Make it an option, let folks switch, and relieve some of the hardtop demand. Give us the kits and we'll get them later if we really want them. Please!

Ford has been developing Bronco for 6 years

Bronco FINAL design specs have been in place almost 3 years

If Ford can't handle a plastic top, are they nimble enough to convert their entire lineup to electric?
