There are no builds this week. The assembly line is shut down, but there are folks working QC, shipping, etc.
Hopefully yours went on the line at some point on 12/23 but didn't finish by the time they shut down for Christmas. Most vehicles "blended" on 12/23 fall into that category. Ford's...
My guess is yours is hitting the blend stage today, but won't be considered "built" until the next business day. The system (or a mistaken call center agent) thinks that's Monday, but it'll really be 1/3.
I couldn't understand it at first either. It seemed like such a terrible move from a Marketing perspective to roll out the Sport first with the same name and similar enough looks to cause confusion.
Then my wife reminded me that Ford is set with a few hundred thousand reservations to get them...
The Tear Tag is the first piece that seems to populate on the module tracker once the build process begins. The rest of the modules won't appear until after your Bronco is completed.

I just had to replace the transfer case in my 2013 Edge with 151k miles. I suspect the rear diff is shot, too, but I'm hoping I can limp it into January.
My key has been cracked for months and held together with a piece of electrical tape. I hate to get a new one, but today it started...
This is Ford we’re talking about. They seem to be perpetually behind. I’m sure there’s going to be a few 12/23 blends that don’t quite make it to the blend stage on 12/23 and get stuck waiting until 1/3 just like us.
Either way, a bunch of those 12/23 blends won’t finish production before the...
Some part of production has begun. All those things have to happen this week — just like they have to happen 7/8 days in advance for every Bronco — to get everything in line and ready to go so the first “blends” can happen at some point early on 1/3. Ours will just have a 10 day pause sitting...
My guess is they'll end up dropping next week as if we were a 12/27 build week. The blend date is when the body and the chassis meet up on the line, so they have to be going through the paint shop, etc. next week to be ready for the first blends on 1/3.
