Congrats! And that’s the first Navy Pier I think I’ve seen scheduled. What time did you get the email?

Got the email at 1:57pm ET today. I’m sure there are more of us Navy Pier ppl, though maybe were actually in the minority of FE orders on this forum haha

I know people are going to criticize me for this and say I’m just bitter, but I can’t help but wonder, does Ford even want me as a customer?

I reserved an FE within the first 20 minutes or so. Then they tell me instead of 3500 there will be 7000. Okay, fine. Then they tell me that painted hard top you’re supposed to get, yeah, you don’t get that. I’m not happy, but okay. Then B&P goes live and I see there are only 5 color choices and my top two aren’t there. Really not happy but I decide to live with Cactus Gray. Then the gray and Navy pier interior fiasco. Again, really not happy, but I take it. Now I see people on here with November reservations who got first wave emails and I didn’t. After all I’ve accepted and am still willing to pay top dollar and I don’t merit a first wave build?

At this point I don’t think they want or deserve me as a customer, I’m going to take a look at the Defender and maybe Gladiator, hopefully one of them grabs me and I’ll bail on this circus.

No email. 4 door, LB, black interior. I’m the only FE at my dealership. I thought that might help put me in the first batch, but I guess not.

I completely agree with you. They really dropped the ball. They know they'll sell no matter what. The individual customer doesn't matter.

However, I don't want either of those other vehicles.

Therein lies the problem I guess.

They originally made it sound like they’d be scheduling vehicles to be built in the first wave over the next 2 weeks. So it’s possible that today’s emails are just 1/10th of those that will actually be scheduled in the first wave?

Yeah, I don’t think I want them either, but I haven’t driven them so I’m hoping one of them surprises me.

I’m hoping that’s the case or something like that. It might just take some time for them to schedule everything and get the emails out? Positive thinking?

I switched to Navy Pier because a) I saw it in person and was ok with it (though I prefer the black) and b) summer is so short in the Wasatch Back I was hoping to get it early and enjoy it while I could. Still hoping! And still digging out from the foot+ of snow we got yesterday.

Well I hope you’re right, I really want to stick with it but my patience is running out.

there’s a poll that I’ve been using as a sample size and it’s pretty much pointing at 10% of the emails went out today. If we get more people receiving them tomorrow then that’s a pretty good assumption

Also: warning. Ford lists the trim color as the interior color on the track order page, not the upholstery color. See attached

Anyone earlier than 7/13 FE at 8:09 CST and not get email? #2 at dealer with a couple of hundred orders, yet nothing for me. Beyond frustrating.

Me. I’m ahead of you by 3 minutes and didn’t get an email yesterday.
