I wasn't too upset when I thought the FE builds might squeak out ahead of the DM customers, and I understand that the assembly line "has to run" however the waiting has been tough for most people. Lots of customers (myself included) are down a vehicle and although not a super precise system it's hard to plan around a constantly changing target date.
It's kind of annoying to have be waiting all this time just to see someone who likely didn't pay $100 to reserve, didn't put cash down on an order, hasn't been checking trackers, modules, messaging UAW guys for info, tracking rail/truck company sites or 100X zooming in on drive by photos of DM get a Bronco first!

SOON!

FML PLEASE SEND IT SOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!
Ford appears to have to have figured out how to optimize production this year by mixing replacement tops and building new cars at the same time, which unfortunately seems to mean that brand new cars are getting built and delivered with MIC tops in 2 weeks while DM cars continue to wait 90+ days to get their cars. You know what? That's totally fine, in a vacuum, but their Bronco team lead on the MIC video and their FAQs said (and still say!) that they wouldn't be building new units until all the bad tops had been replaced. Again, why not just share the real plan in the first place?

so does the ETA end date actually have any bearing on build status. Will that populate to a future date before being "built" or does it not matter?

It seems to update to a future date once your roof has been replaced.

got ya, I'll have to keep an eye on mine then!
I wouldn't assume that. The truth is that we just don't know. My end date is 8/6 which you may note is 2.5 months ago oh, and I have a soft top.

In fairness to Ford, they have from the beginning been consistent.
The had great roll out, record orders and from there it all went down hill,

They have consistently lied, screwed up, over promiced and under delivered
on every update release, change in plans and to this day no one knows what
anyone is doing :) Credit to the designers to build something that so many hard working people
will be screwed over and over while they still wait having no idea if and when they will
ever get their Bronco.

I was one of the first orders in this region, I have seen identical builds of what I ordered
driving down the road, I know of hard top MIC 4 door, ordered 5 months ago
not last year, being driven as we speak, have seen 8-9 hard tops driving around.

Sad we are not excited, even with update should be here on Nov 9th
My response to this was ok, maybe LOL Based on reviews of folks who have got theirs,
I hope the excitement comes back if and when we ever get one.

WHat is sad is Ford doesn't seem to give a SH$t, loyalty means nothing anymore.
I truly hope this was / is a one off and does not happen with future roll outs.

I'll cut them slack on a lot of it, particularly the overpromising: it's a tough time for manufacturing generally. HOWEVER, the allocation stuff and going back on their word regarding the prioritization of replacement tops is some bullshit. That is all fully within their control.

For everyone who's gotten their builds - did the ETIS modules update before hand? We had a few data points on that earlier but I'm not sure if it's a common occurrence.

With the new builds hovering just before and after my blend/rotation I'm hoping my notice comes soon.
Nope nothing changed and every link I had bookmarked with vin and order numbe, ETIS, etc all still showed the same when I received my built email… Hell, my pizza tracker still shows in production but the data used for the B6G now shows built.

I’m shipped to Longmont Ford since 10/6. How long did it take from your ship date to when you got it?

Congrats by the way!!
My timeline was; Built: 9/26, shipped 9/27, arrived at railyard: 10/9, delivered: 10/12. Hope yours is as quick to CO as mine was!

My pizza tracker is now showing someone else's order for a F-250 and not my Bronco.
I had that happen too! It so weird because when I opened it a different VIN and order number was there. Where did that come from?

They have to keep all the worker’s at work. Meaning MAP had to stay open to produce Bronco’s and Rangers. As a fellow Union guy I get it…. But what they should have done is close MAP for 2 weeks and taken all the worker’s to DM and just push them all out. Which is probably an easy task. Listen I am a 7/13, 2nd hour reserve. My build was pushed 4 times til finally 8/12. I know I still have at least 3 more weeks to wait. My problem is I sold my daily driver in one day and now driving my 10 yr old F-150 everyday.
I am in the exact same situation as you. ☹

Ok, three days down this week. Was really thinking this was my week to be released. Got two days left to hopefully see some movement. Stay pumped!

Aye that's the spirit! I'm really hoping some of us who were left behind our groups get released in these next few days!
