Less than 4,500 of the 7000 reservations converted to orders. There were some added for celebrities/VIPs so I dont know the exact number to be built, but 4,500 is a good estimate to go with for now.
Very interesting and good to know.

Am I the only one that thinks we should get free soft-tops at this point on all our FE's?
Ford can ship me a new MIC when they figure out that shit show, but damn if I dont think thats the least the could do for us FE res holders. I want my damn SUV already.

I agree 100%.

3 years? you post a lot of nonsense but this has to be the most, The tooling is Fords and wasn't even in place till what January? Its easy to hand make this stuff in a small facility vs full on production...

Anyone else shocked it this low? now do you know the ordered split of 2 door vs 4 door on FE?
You do realize they source suppliers years in advance? In the 2019 CBA they awarded their powertrain/stamping plants investment for future products specifically the bronco. The wheels were in motion well before that.

Yeah, this lot rot shit is nonsense, we park Toyotas, Hondas, Lexus and Hyundai's off ships here and they sit forevvvvvver back in 08 crash there were like 2 model year old Hyundai's still sitting in lot to be sent to dealers. They build them, they sit, they load them on ship, strap them down and they sit, we drive them off the ship for 3 minutes and they sit again.....

Today would have been the optimal time to under promise and over deliver, were they smart enough to do that though?

But doesn’t that imply they have the materials and good tops to fix them
7/13/2020 Res within first hour confirmation email 57 mins after launch.
7/1/2021 VIN received
8/23 Production week moved to 8/9 Production week
Nothing since...has not moved into Production and no window sticker.
I assume I am going to get an email moving my production or will they go ahead and build it and sit in lot? The communications is unclear to me on this...anyone have insight?
Then I read it October / November all FE's will be completed with the new top (assuming no top issues)...I imagine depending on location some of us will not take delivery until January due to transit times.
Definitely a bummer...everyone wants it now. The build up was spectacular and if you owned EB's you have been waiting for this day for a really long time. It is what it is and nothing I do will change it so trying to make the best of this situation. I think we need to form regional support groups! I would be open to meeting up with anyone in the Tulsa, OK area tomorrow at a good watering hole to commiserate our misery!
I am sure I will be fine by the weekend but the letdown from being planned built this week to unknown today is rough...but, I do feel much worse for the guys that are built and not shipped. That is definitely worse and I would buy you guys the first round.

You can buy a 2 door FE cactus grey with navy interior today if you want. Ford Sunnyvale has one in stock. I looked at it in person last weekend. Of course they have a 25k mark-up on that unit. It even comes with a top that is in decent condition (and will be replaced in October). They had 4 Broncos in stock last weekend and this MIC top was in the best shape of all 4. They all had blemishes, but this only a few minor ones. Anyway, really just mentioning it for you in case you want to see your build in person (minus the leather color). I wouldn't expect anyone with an allocation at Serramonte to pay a 25k mark-up unless they really wanted a Bronco NOW.
I’m actually surprised it’s that high being they never offered up the ones that dropped. I thought less than half would actually stick with FE. There were also some dealers that were offered FE allocation as prizes for attending off rodeo. They were allowed to go through their reservations and find someone that wanted to switch to FE. My understanding is it was a drawing each day during the months off rodeo was Dealer exclusive. I don’t know how many got added to that either.
I don’t have a specific 2 door number but was told it was much lower than overall 2 door take rate, which I believe is around 30%?

we know the system messed up and actually took 7k FE reservations as they never actually opened back up reservations for those. Seems as though the system didn't even hold back to 3500 of each so I feel like my 2 door FE being that actually have it is quite the unicorn at the moment.
