I didn't report the 500 figure, I can't confirm the 500 figure, and I have serious doubts about the 500 figure.

Hey @Zach@Granger , the mural looks great! Glad that got approved!
Meant to say that I think you gave production #’s previously but perhaps not a 500#
I was being succinct
Still nothing from Ford for this First Edition orderer. Still, I love to see that some people out there are getting some satisfaction at last! I can live vicariously for a while, so thanks to everyone who is sharing photos and stories of their new B6s.

Technically you are probably part of the later added 3500, hence the 7/14 reservation
. By time you were able to get your order in at 10 pm FORD’s reservation system had already accidentally accepted over 3500 orders. At this point it doesn’t really matter where you are in the 7000 First Editions. We are all just glad that we got ours especially when there’s probably another 10,000+ disappointed they couldn’t reserve one. i’m thinking at some point in the future once all the First Editions have been produced we will be able to extrapolate where everybody is between 1 — 7000 and possibly get new console plates printed up to be added later to our Broncos.
Your math forgets they have stopped production to let the MICs catch up. We don't really know what a reliable MIC capacity is yet.
in light of this latest revelation, I guess we can safely assume Ford has contrived a new way to deviate from their reservation/timestamp process.
Less I lose track………Priority orders, allocations, VIP orders, constrained items, dealer stock, and now FE’s regardless of timestamp. Does that about cover them all? Unless we want to give MIC, Modular and dual tops their own category.
I’m old enough to remember the Ford pitch from the 80’s…..”Quality is Job 1”. Their new motto ought to be “Equivocate, Job 1”.
I wonder….when it comes time to pay for my Bronco, I tell Ford that money has become a constrained commodity in my bank account and that I would like to pay them in sour grapes instead. Wonder how that would go over.
Edit: I forgot dealer stock……fixed it.

But at the same time, Webasto was either shut down for training and/or the roofs they were delivery were crap. Probably a wash...

2-door FE 11:09 pm EST time stamp, 3/16 order date
. FYI my order was previewed by Ford last week but no vin yet. And knowing what I know about Webasto I purposely waited to the last minute to finalize my FE order in hopes I’d be one of the last FEs built so Webasto could get their shit together 
. Plus I was hoping for a hell Mary on a new supplier for the shadow black modular top.Sponsored
Yeah they really screwed us on the black hard tops. I’m still pissed about that. I know if it were to be ordered it will be atleast $2500.2-door FE 11:09 pm EST time stamp, 3/16 order date

Definitely - that's been known for a while now. If the take rate was 80% then 32,000 of the 40,000 produced for MY21 should be MIC tops if there were no constraints. If the target MIC production rate is 60%, that means there will only be 24,000 MIC tops produced in MY21, meaning 8,000, or 1/4 of the MIC top orders that would otherwise have been built will be pushed to MY22. And that sucks for those people.
However, that still means that 3/4 (24,000) of those MIC orders will be built in MY21.
Edited to add: this is obviously a simplified and estimated example, and doesn't take into account other constraints that complicate matters, future production disruptions, etc.

Yeah I switched to a soft top a few weeks ago.
I came up with 250 a day - that is what they need to build between now and mid November to hit 60% of 2021s. But that was based on 50000 built for 2021.
Not sure what the current capacity is.
