For what its worth, i just spoke to Ford's customer service and they said I can switch my MIC order to a soft top and ford will ship the vehicle. Im a 4dr BD with MIC, blend date of 8/6...so mine is likely built and sitting in the MAP lot. They said to call your dealer and they can update the order.
I wish that were true. Apparently they asked Esteban that very question on the livestream and he said it’s not an option.

I'm a similar build. Soft, 2.7, SAS blend was 8/6 but my modules didn't pop until Monday. Hoping to get some type of movement by the time the weekend starts, if not by next week.
Same here. Fingers crossed for a built email tomorrow!!

When i spoke with Ford customer service they seemed somewhat hesitant on the answer, so I repeatedly asked them to confirm that that was indeed an option and they confirmed. I spoke with my dealer and asked them to look into it and i havent heard back, so at this point i dont know what to believe. Fingers crossed but after reading otherwise all over this forum, i dont have faith that it'll happen.

The date at the bottom of my sticker has been 8/5 till a few minutes ago. It’s 8/12 now. Maybe my build email is coming. 🙏

LOL, I still can't even pull up my own window sticker... the only reason that I was able to see my Window Sticker was a kind soul took pity on me and was able to get it. Ford.Com actually now has the correct picture of my Bronco though... So that's something... Wifi is eligible... If I could program my Bronco to drive itself out of Dirt Mountain.... I would.

I believe the window stickers get updated weekly, I don't think it necessarily means anything changed.
I did wonder that, but the date change has no constancy that I see. It went from a Thursday to a Friday 2 weeks later, then a Wednesday a week after that.

Who knows. Jen Psaki might as well be the PR & Marketing Director for Ford with how bad the communication and getting answers has been through this

I really wouldn't reach much into the date. Mine updated this morning and I'm 2dr MIC, which we know isn't going anywhere.

Gah - just typed all this, and guess what shows up in my mail box just before posting - of course. Need to type how I still don't have my built e-mail.

I am so annoyed that the only way that us with Broncos at dirt mountain know that fact is because we are on the forum. Not a single bit of proactive messaging.
Nothing official from Ford, and nothing from my dealer (I haven't asked because I know)
I'm still hopeful that somehow someone will accidentally ship my bronco to me - with the cosmetically inferior MIC.
Last 5 yards is always the longest!

You’re an 8/11 blend and have already shipped? A lot of us are soft-tops with 8/5 blends, and we haven’t even gotten a build email yet.

I thought the same thing. Maybe it's a destination thing? I'm in Louisiana and your in Colorado. He is on the east coast. So maybe they just don't have rails coming this direction? I'm grasping at straws at this point.

Mine is being delivered to Texas, which I’m almost positive uses the same rail line that goes to Louisiana. So maybe you’re right about the connection there. Glad I know someone in the same boat as me!

Fair. I'm soft top, and it says it went into production over a week ago, with no signs of movement out of the yard. Sync is activated, so is wifi, so I guess the truck is alive.

Edit - I keep checking palsapp.com in hopes to get info it's en-route, but nothing. However, when I use VIN's of vehicles that have been verifiably delivered to my dealer, it gives me the same read out as my VIN. Maybe palsapp isn't good with Canadian delivery
