So as a Dealership Employee I was just perusing Ford's Direct Vehicle Locator Tool. It lets us Dealers look at other Dealers Inventory/What they have available. I'm seeing a bunch of different First Edition's at different dealers. I count 27 First Editions across the entire database at this...
You are more than welcome. Quite a few of us Here want to help. And I hope that you can guys can trust us when you all have questions like this. Everyone can also always send me a private message, I'll answer as soon as I can.
So I would just call your dealer in this instance and ask for a new build order summary, maybe even a screenshot to make sure. I'm not aware of 2nd confirmation emails going out when someone makes a change. I've had 1 customer so far make 1 Huge change on his build, which was adding sasquatch...

I'd tell Him that you can easily get Ford Brass (Mike Levine) to ruin his day if He'd like to not be helpful. I'm not sure if that'll help, but you might need to involve Levine to get the needle moved. You can even point Him to this forum, Granger and other dealers on here that will happily help...
I'd be extremely careful on changing things up too drastically before a VIN is issued. Keep in mind, Ford has to see how much they need and are trying to get enough materials for builds. Changing something up last minute or waiting too long can hamper Ford, and then in turn delay your build...
Yes, in WEBDO which is the Ordering tool that dealerships use, every vehicle we click on would give us a date when Ford has it scheduled. We see this only for the our Mannequins at this current time. We very well could see dates for customers come April/May. We won't know for sure until it...
Once these hit the streets and people see them, that's when the next craze is gonna happen. There's going to be a lot of bummed people saying "well if I knew I could put in a reservation I would've done it!".
