Do you have link for that chat? I'm curious what they tell me?Also my build day was locked in too for 9/23 and it still moved.
They said the ETA would update soon. I wonder if I am really locked in?

Just go to the ford website and click contact. Yesterday morning I tried chatting but it was 18min. I queued but forgot about it. Later in the day it was a 30 min queue.

my original group was 8/29 also. Hopefully this is our last bump. I saw a lot of people that were originally from 8/29 get their window sticker on the 9/12 group.

Thanks, haha. I checked here earlier and when I got connected they said they can't help with vehicle information? Must of been a noob? Anyhow, I'll try again.

If I get bumped into October, I'm debating on "99ing" my order and waiting for the 2023. But I fear that I'll lose price protection by doing this. Seems we're all at the mercy of Ford's lack of strategic planning.

I hear you I’m getting pretty annoyed myself especially when I look at the build week sheets and see people that reserved / ordered way after me and are getting built before me.
This is exactly why I don't complain about my wait. I reserved march '21. When I see people complaining and have waited LESS time than me I think of poor folks like yourself.

I know there’s a lot of variables so I don’t want to go on a rant against Ford. Manufacturing delays, Covid, a vehicle that has not been around for 25+ years now so naturally the demand is insane and I also have many constraints although I’m a base model so less semiconductors then someone with a higher trim or lux package.
Ultimately, I do not want to be waiting past thanksgiving. I really hope to have my bronco by then if not I really hope it’s atleast built and on the way to my dealer.

Pretty sure you can't 99 an order that is scheduled with a VIN.

These are mass produced vehicles with a few options, and it just so happens that somebody at Ford decided it would be nice for customers to track their specific vehicle.
Without a doubt there are a bunch of Ford employees that hate this, and would rather it be just like a Fiesta where they are scheduled to be built wherever it conveniently fits into the production schedule, and in the end a car with the few options a customer wanted ends up shipping to the right dealership.
The last couple of years just really messed up supply chains. My other custom order cars had way more customization available, and took less than 6 months to get built and shipped from Europe. Think color options for interior stitching, seatbelts, leather, gauges, wheels, exterior trim, different seat types, different brake packages, suspension options, custom paint colors, etc. All individual options without having to order a package, so it's doable in "normal" times.
I've been watching mine and I have been scheduled to day for 9/15, 9/16, 9/21 and today just moved to 9/22. I'm hoping that this one sticks but I'm not going to believe it until I see my window sticker.
They said the ETA would update soon. I wonder if I am really locked in?
