I actually got an email yesterday... However, it was not for a build date... instead it was an invite to join Ford at SuperCel East for a Bronco ride-along... I'm w/i a couple hours and gonna make a camping weekend of it in the GSMNP.

Did you heat rapid red slows your orderSame boat. My time stamp is 7/13 at 10:55 pm est. I did choose rapid red and black interior but from what I understand black interior doesn’t matter any more.
I don’t think so. I haven’t seen any rapid red scheduled though yet.Did you heat rapid red slows your order
Actually I am off on that. Last week, Granger posted a thread with how many of their allotment were in scheduling. It was something less, like 12%. Based on that I figured I’d be in the third group - if the batch sizes remained the same - to go into scheduling at my dealer based on allocation size / position.
@Herbie‘s Numbers are 24%, so I guess the range is 12-24%. Considering I am probably 35% at my dealer, I am still figuring on 2nd to 3rd batch to go into scheduling.
I have to keep telling myself, I purposefully waited to reserve until late in the second day because I wanted a mid to late summer delivery. So far this is tracking ok-ish.
Every Tuesday until August your dealer will be able to see what orders Ford is previewing for that week. If your dealer sees your build being previewed on a Tuesday then on Thursday an e-mail should go out to the customer directly from Ford with a Vin and a production week date. So you should only expect an e-mail from Ford on a Thursday (at least that is what my dealer and several other dealers on here have indicated). If your dealer happens to tell you between that Tuesday and Thursday then maybe you find out a day or two sooner. To make a long story short save anxieties until Wednesday afternoon, it will be easier on your psyche.So I spoke with my dealer this morning. Confirmed that my order remains within Ford’s allocation for them so they feel I should be a MY21 and just have to wait for my turn. I am. 7/19 reserve date - OBX with a soft top and 2.7L.
The dealer did say that the Order Banks refresh everyThursday to capture changes over the last week. Not sure how that impacts the emails that I assume are directly from Ford - but seems to indicate the Dealer may not learn of an update until the Refresh happens.
Does anyone know whether the email is coming from Ford independent of the Order Banks update - or should we expect new batches of emails to go out only on Thursdays.
I got word yesterday that my rapid red base is scheduled. haven't gotten my vin/email yet though to confirm.I don’t think so. I haven’t seen any rapid red scheduled though yet.
Thank you for that!Every Tuesday until August your dealer will be able to see what orders Ford is previewing for that week.

seems like dealers got the option to have one or two orders they can prioritize to get them into MY21. How each dealer does that is up to them, some probably sold it, some just picked the first order that was reserved with them, some might have put their own order or their daughter in law's order at #1, up to each dealer. While I'm still not quite clear why Ford made this a limited option, they probably had a good reason for it. How dealers use the option and how moral or greedy or clueless they are is out of Ford's hands. I know I wasn't prioritized by my dealer, as I didn't get an e-mail, but I'd also be very surprised if they'd have picked me over a long time customer or relative or friend, as I never even set foot into their place. Just a little bonus thing for dealers to play around with as they see fit. And if a dealer finds someone willing to pay for a small line cut, that's capitalism at work.Can someone explain to me what exactly a priority order is. Is that like the Dealers brother-in-law or someone who actually ponied up the premiums some dealers are charging.
yes nothing from Ford, but wow glad there is a spam folder apparantly there is an african tribal remedy guaranteed to add 4 inch to your johnson.Did you check your spam folder?! Cuz I did and! Still nothing.....
