You aren't really restricted from having the constraints though. You just won't get the $2500 and are rolling the dice with getting pushed into next year. [Although it sounds like if you drop the constrained items, you still aren't guaranteed a MY23 and keeping your PP. Typical fact for this...
Decent chance they are only briefing dealers tomorrow, and anything we find out will be leaked from them. Ford likes to dump bad news to the rest of us late Friday afternoon to have the least impact on the automotive and financial press.
Although if the deadline of Jan 21 for changing order is...
For Granger that number might be more like 500, so they might never receive a 6G Bronco ever again.
On another topic, I'm a bit skeptical about the 2-door folks being either completely hosed or allowed to get a 2D soft top as a factory part. Think the 2-door (and the Raptor and Everglades)...
This is, to me, the key question. We have to wait and see. Note that guaranteeing a MY23 build after dropping the "sinful" commodities means blowing the top off the allocations at the backlogged dealers like Granger.
The shipping is a charlie foxtrot just like every other aspect of the Bronco ordering system. The sort of delays you are seeing are not unusual for the Bronco launch though. 2-5 weeks to the west coast, and it varies a lot, as that wide range would indicate. Once you get past 5 weeks, you are...
The utter lack of serious communication to enthusiasts who have been waiting since 2020 for a vehicle is insulting. There's no allocation formula or commodity shortage or pandemic they can blame for that.
Supply constraints are the dominant factor, if you zero in on one dealership.
The massive variation between identical orders, identical reservation/order dates at different dealerships -- and we have numerous examples of delivery dates years apart -- that's caused by allocation. There's little...
Well, it's nice that he said that, but we need to see what policy actually gets implemented. After all, everyone up to the CEO was saying that orders could be moved to other dealerships, when in fact they could not. We care about what they do, not what they say.
You are correct that no one can place a new order now, and likely won't be able to for months.
Your second concern is misplaced, though. The way Ford schedules, reservation priority doesn't really matter anymore. And as a June 2021 reservation, you are way towards the back of the line anyway...
The roof FAQ was updated today to rule out 2023. Probably hasn't been any decision made about after 2023. Even the white one will be late availability MY23. They might be considering the Heritage ones as a sort of beta test.
For a more serious answer to OP's question, all remaining 99'ed...
If this is truly how it will work, then my '23 Badlands Bronco will actually be cheaper than it would have been as a '22, since the date of record for MY22 price protection was early Oct. '21, when I had an Outer Banks order on file.
There is no answer yet. Anything we say here would just be speculation until the price protection details leak. And especially with price protection, the devil is in the details, so I don't think speculation would be worth a whole lot.
We should know the answer long before the reordering...
That rendering bug has been appearing off and on for the last two years. It's comical at this point. Not just that it's broken, but that they occasionally fix it and then it somehow gets broken again.
