First Edition 3501-7000

[Bullitt]

I'm sure I probably missed this, but how exactly did Ford allocate FE's above 3,500 to 7,000? Who exactly reserved 3,501-7,000 and how did they reserve those FE's?

Theory is the reservation system allowed more people to reserve beyond the initial 3500... and instead of pissing off half the buyers, they decided to just double the amount they were going to make.

"Theory" yes...but it would be nice to know exactly what happened and how 3,501-7,000 got reserved.

I mean, they got reserved on reservation night.

The FE reservations filled up, and then shortly thereafter Ford announced that actually they took 7000 FE reservations because of the “overhelming demand” or something.

It’s not like anyone knew In the moment they were 3501+. The system just accepted their reservation.

Is that what you’re asking? Or do you mean the technical reasons why the reservation system allowed it?

I'm asking how a person had the opportunity to get an FE after the first 3,500 reservations were full. Did Ford actually take more orders by accident? It would be nice to know what exactly happened.

In the video tonight, Estaban talked about #3,501 and that it would be a MY21. That's what led me to asking what exactly happened with the FE's.

When you choose which trim, in their case "FE", your trim doesn't get you a bonus point but the "FE" does.

Ford will almost certainly never say. No sense worrying about it.

It took me two hours to reserve my FE. Towards the end I remember the site would let you reserve a 2 door but popped up reservation full on 4 door. I believe the system was so messed up it reserved 3500 2-doors and 3500 4-doors. To avoid a lawsuit and a bunch of angry folks, Ford doubled the number to 7000 and called it a day. Just my humble opinion ?.

Like many of you, I struggled with the reservation website all night on July 13. I gave up and went to bed. I woke up on July 14th and tried one more time around 7 AM Eastern - and I got an FE! Maybe I was #7000!

2-door, Area 51, Black interior. Converted to an order on Jan. 20. Now I continue to wait patiently, as we have all been doing for years now.

By the way, my dealer said that they are only allowed one (1) FE order per dealer. I didn't press the issue with him, but do any of you know what that's about? If it's a volume thing, my dealer is in North Jersey, a stones throw from Manhattan, and they move a shit-ton of cars. What gives?

First I've heard of that... and it doesn't pass the sniff test since every FE reservation holder is entitled to one, so assuming a dealer is capable of having more than one FE holder reserved with them...


There was some speculation that any FE reservation that is cancelled or changed to a different trim, would still get built, and those (un-spoken for) FE units would be sold as dealer stock... That was a rumor, but if it is true, maybe that's what the dealer was referring to. Only one non-reserved FE per dealer for them to sell to someone off the street.

pretty sure that's not quite right.

if you look in the Stephan's Auto Center thread, they state they're contacting all of their FE reservations first, then going back for the rest. certainly implies a number greater than one.

Gonna chalk that up to some Fake News. My current dealer has close to 40 FE reservations and I bet Granger has double that and probably more.

My guess is the reservation system allowed for 3500 two doors and 3500 four doors and didn't reduce the available count for two doors when a four door was reserved and vice versa.
