Start to Finish Tracking for My Personal Two Door

[Gloff]

Congrats. I had a VIN April 15th. Week of June 7th build….moved to June 28th. Then moved again, again, again then week of 8/2. Tuesday it went to ‘in production’ for a 8/5 build and window sticker had generated. So, hopefully by the end of august I’ll see it. Reserved first night, didn’t order until 3/18. Vin 4/15.

You're in the same boat as me. You should get yours first due to your location.

Just found this Easter egg on a customer 4 door; very clever.

Today's the day! It hasn't come off the line yet, and having access to the status doesn't help. I know the line is still moving since we've had another customer truck that was slated for assembly 8/3 get a built email early this morning, and the visibility shows the truck was released and shipped today.

We on the 8/2 thread are watching closely since we haven't been seeing anything with a MIC top being released yet this week...

I don’t know which is worse, being a day one res and not having an email or having an email but watching it get rescheduled so many times.

This is worse

You're right. The unit that was shipped was a Soft Top.

My Bronco is showing Produced as of today, it shows the produced date as 8/6/2021 which is a day later than scheduled Final Assembly. FWIW none of the MIC Top trucks produced since Late July have shipped, so I don't expect mine to get gate release right away.

As many of you know, I'm the Bronco Specialist here at Serramonte Ford. Like you, I'm personally invested, as I have a Bronco on order! I was initially scheduled in the first go around, but was subsequently pushed back (due to MIC top, surely). My new build date is 8/5/2021, and my truck was just Sent to Plant. So I'll document the experience here start to finish. Based on what I'm seeing right now, I should get my truck here at my dealership 8/25/2021. That is my prediction.

Window Sticker is LIVE

For those curious about orders moved back, this is what the tracker shows for my Build. Original order date was 1/19/2021. As you can see, I have had three build dates, so I'm super jazzed that it's now Sent to Plant, as that means the production process has actually been set in motion.

Update 7/28/2021
Nothing doing on the production front (obviously), but I did get the poster in the mail. I don't know why Ford sent these out to some and not others. Initially I thought it was for those that had their builds pushed back, but my service director got one and he hasn't been scheduled yet.

8/7/2021 Update:

My Bronco is showing Produced as of today, it shows the produced date as 8/6/2021 which is a day later than scheduled Final Assembly. FWIW none of the MIC Top trucks produced since Late July have shipped, so I don't expect mine to get gate release right away. My FordPass app recognizes the VIN, but the jellybean (the digital image of my truck) is not showing up yet. I suspect they pull actual data from the VIN to produced the jellybean, as it is accurate to the vehicle specification.

Thanks for the transparency, Sean. Much appreciated!

8/9/2021 Update
Truck now shows as built in the service system. The data is incomplete, but it shows a build date of 8/6/2021. As of yesterday it was still showing VIN not yet produced, so a step in the right direction!

Still no movement from the factory or status updates in visibility though, from mine or any of our other purgatory units.

We ordered our BD 2door Sas on 1/27/2021 and have not gotten a Vin# or any updates

This is not the place for that discussion.

Congratulations Sean!!! I can't wait to see my order change and get a vin. I'm on pins and needles.

 

[Gloff]

Oh boy. Looks like I'm in for a wait. Based on the communication, I'll be one of the last to get a new hard top. I'll keep this updated as much as possible.

9/9/21 Update:

Received the Hammock yesterday. Also got the Greenlight models in the mail a couple weeks ago. Sounds like Ford is working through dirt mountain. My build date was 8/6/21 and yesterday it was announced that they started doing the tops on those units. We'll see how long it takes to get an update.

Our oldest Dirt Mountain unit was assembled 6/29, so I'll keep an eye on that unit, see if an update happens and we might have an idea of turn around on those units.

11/8/2021 Update:

BUILT EMAIL! Got my built email yesterday, nearly three months to the day. Digging deeper, I can see that it's been officially released from the factory, but hasn't been assigned a railcar yet. ETA is 11/21-11/27, I am assuming it will be closer to 11/30.
