So when the modules are all turned on does that mean the build is complete?

I’m 452.
I believe the pictures will be after the fact, not real time during production.

I was number 60 built today and the modules popped up this morning. No tear tag or built email yet.

Funny that after years of messages on Twitter, you and I ultimately get built on the same day.

I doubt any of our complaining helped, but I'm glad Ford finally decided to help the dealers with more orders than allocation. I really thought they were going to leave us out to hang.

Same. After the “change your options or get bumped to ‘24” email, I gave up and ordered a Wrangler. I got the “Scheduled for production“ email the morning it arrived on the dealer’s lot.

I refused to change. I was going to get what I want or nothing at all.

I wouldn’t budge on my Bronco options, but expecting to get bumped another year (at a minimum) and having a daily driver over 130k miles, I figured it was time to do something to hold me over. Luckily that email came just in time, and I could walk away from my backup plan.

This was me. The only changes we ever made were to:
- Color. We had to drop Cyber Orange so went to Velocity Blue. Once Eruption Green was announced we immediately bounced to that.
- Tow Package. I dropped it looong ago when it was a big constraint and never re-added. I'll put one on later for carrying a tray for longer trips or for towing a small overlanding trailer I have yet to build.

I wanted what I ordered. A 2-Door, Badlands, Squatch, V6, Lux, hard-top, etc. I knew/know that if I compromised and dropped options when they begged us to that I'd never ever look at the truck and be 100% happy, no matter how nice it ended up being. There'd always be that "I could have been looking at a 12" screen instead of this tiny 8" thing" or "This could have been a Sasquatch version"(yes I know I could lift it later) just hanging out at the back of my mind.

I'm #550 this week. We'll see what happens.

Me too. I had about 99% concluded that I wouldn’t be scheduled in 2023, and that was gonna be the end of it.

Still no modules. I feel like I’m in a maternity ward waiting room….

 

[robtraut]

No modules for me yet either. How late do their shifts go?

Pretty sure they run 2 shifts, so maybe 11 or so??
