I wonder if the materials walk through won't come to fruition since the B&P will be released... guess that's not surprising??‍♂?‍♂
It's supposed to launch sometime today as well. Heh, so much for their statement of "Well before B&P releases." :rolleyes:

Part of the problem with the reservation issue was that because you were giving credit card, name, address info all of those interactions are considered "dynamic" meaning they need to go back to a main server(s) and database to be stored and then tied to every page request after that. Since the build and price shouldn't require any of this info most of it can be considered static and cacheable, meaning it doesn't have to go back to the main servers / databases and can be replicated in the cloud. That cloud is already scaled to 100,000X of the number of servers they likely have (an east and west typically). This "should" be a much better experience than the reservation fiasco.
I am really hoping Ford requires your login before getting to B&P because at some point your suppose to save the build in your (builds) and use that for the dealership side of the process. This at least would reduce the number of random users and bot hits to the B&P. They can open it up fully at a later time. One can hope FORD is smart enough to do it this way.

In before 80% of the forums get spinning wheel of death from the B&P site
Haven't you been paying attention. Ford has beefed up their flux capacitors and turbo charged their thing-a-madoodles. Should be smooth sailing.

If there are any issues the help hotline direct from India will calm those fears

Zero chance of that happening. They want as much traffic as possible with new buyers

Exactly. I can save everyone a phone call. Turn the power off and count to 10. Then turn it back on. Should resolve any issues.

If we reserved, do we have to do this B&P now?? Or is this just window shopping?
Just window shopping. You only need B&P, prior to placing your order.

We should of started a pool with squares. What time the site would crash. $20 bucks a square. Winner take all, could probably get a winch or nice accessory if you guessed right.
