I don’t feel like looking for it either and have no skin in the game since I’m already scheduled, so meh.
I do remember last time someone tried to quote that spreadsheet they were laughed at once it was tied back to just another forum member!
I would guess region has a lot more importance than timestamp. I know this is an exaggerated example, but if Ford built 1 or 2 vehicles for each dealer over a month, that would make for inefficient delivery.
Come on, don’t you want the satisfaction of knowing 100% your right. Isn’t that how forum commenting is supposed to work.

"At what point do we decide that a MY22 with more options is better suited than a winter-delivery "First" Edition."

Do you know what the cut off date is for the last 2021 scheduling is? Are we going to have to wait all the way till November, until we officially know we are not getting a 2021?
Since they’ll be building 2021s in December November’s a good guess. The sad part is everyone should of known last month if they were getting a 2021 or 2022.
At this point it is the Wild West and reservation date means next to nothing. If you have a four door convertible ordered, you’re in—especially a pre-Sept 15 reservation date. If you have a non-FE two door or MIC four door in a higher trim, you’re most likely waiting. Since FEs have to be built in 2021, they’ll be built at some point in 2021.
I will say the changing FE specs, Mod to MIC, no dual top, no roof rack, no tow, etc. and the 3500 to 7000 screwup, are all maddening BS. And even though “first” doesn’t mean “first”, it does mean you reserved day one, so should get the priority for your spot in line with with every other day one reservation (FE or otherwise) at your dealer when the commodities are available.

They could have just called it "Special Edition" since that's a truer reflection of what it is given today's facts. But who could have guessed that the supply chains would be so broken at this point in time?

If the 2020 Summer Olympics can happen in 2021, who's to say 2021 Broncos won't be delivered in 2022? (I mean, it's all covid-related.)
Let me duck now to get out of the way of the incoming....

How is it you know this is “ensured”?
With Ford, experience shows you must be super careful in parsing their statements, and even in “ensuring” that their statements are “Genuine Ford Parts”, so to speak.
It didn’t encourage me that their recent press release about the start of Bronco full size deliveries was literally just a bunch of PR soundbites strung together, with nods for everyone at Ford and the UAW but little or nothing for their customers.
Somewhere else in the thread a poster tells us we have to get out of our heads the silly idea that “First Edition” means “First.” Silly customers! Why would you even think that?
To me that exemplifies what’s become of Ford. Navel-gazing, inwardly focused. The customer is just one of a swarm of ‘em, a mosquito buzzing around your head. Someone to be “managed,” not pleased.
This isn’t unique to Ford, but the better companies hide it and compensate for it quite a bit better.

My thoughts early on when the delays started, were that if they moved the entire model year to 22 (21.5) most of these issues would go away. Orders could be filled by true order stamp and the folks that were willing to wait for their preferred options could. I was more than happy waiting for a Mod/Dual top and the pull out shelf. Unfortunately that wasn't the path taken and here we are...

I thought First Edition models will have a plate near their shifter or on the dash x of 7000, or however many they actually end up making.
since 2021 won’t be a full year of production, and the first year, I just think it would be cool, to know the order it came off the line.
the vin doesn’t give any real indication does it?
