It just means they started assembling the parts for his build ahead of yours, when they start doing that for yours, it should switch to "in production" as well, hopefully that will happen very soon since you both have the same blend date.
I am showing as in production and have a sticker. I just thought in production meant on the line. Thanks for the clarification.

Ok, my question is how can your blend date be 7/13 (mine) and your vehicle be in production now?
Blend date is when the major components are blended together on the assembly line. Production of your Bronco starts much earlier than that. They have to sequence all of the parts to make your Bronco so they get to the assembly line in the proper order. Even printing out all of the QR code stickers that get stuck on your parts requires planning. All of that is "In Production".

Yes, four door, new order on 11/2/22….now, I ordered a 2nd Badlands and maybe I converted to the HE when it was announced. Brain fade. Here was my Badlands:

11 percent of the US Order Banks is HE as of now which works to about 2280 orders left. That means they only scheduled about 200 HEs this last round. Assuming we had about 12 percent of the 20800 or about 2500 HE orders in the order banks before last week’s scheduling.
what I don‘t understand is why did the order banks number not go down from last week if they only count unscheduled orders as Tim Bartz indicated in his response. They can’t be getting new orders at the rate they are scheduling now that most dealers have no allocations left, or maybe they did get an equivalent non HE orders in a week, but what a coincidence it would be for the new orders to be exactly as Many as orders as the recently scheduled HE orders. I do still think that USOB numbers refer to total scheduled and unscheduled builds.
200 would have been the 1% of 20k, thus dropping the number remaining to 11%?

There hasn't been any new HE orders, it's either in the order bank to be scheduled or scheduled for build, that's the 3% number or what can be built from what's been scheduled.

At least that's my take on it, but I don't know the number they can truly crank out. The pictures of the HEs at the factory were majority HE-L's and Tim said those aren't included in these numbers. I would think Ford is putting a priority on the Limited's which is competing with the standard's commodities so less get built therefore less OB orders get scheduled is another take.

Prioritizing HE-Ls is down right awful, they're dealer stock orders basically. :cautious:

Agreed. I would buy one if it was not a major mark up! Price protected on my order, but they make bank on the 1st editions, Raptors and the HE-L’s. Wife not a fan of that color, but I like it!

Looks like job 2 gets the sub wolfer, but still carpet, and what is up with “navigation delete“”.
