I would have been better off not having the initial update. My dealer says my Bronco is built, and off-site, waiting for a train car. My pizza tracker is stuck on In Production 5/6, and my modules still haven't populated on that tracker. Oh well ... it will arrive when it arrives... (and I will apparently need to add hail damage to my inspection check list)
I think the pizza tracker is next to worthless. It's akin to asking a cat if it is going to rain tomorrow. VIN View, if your dealer will access it for you, has a ton of data that makes interpolating delivery dates much more accurate. If that doesn't show anything, a dealer with any connections should be able to track down the vehicle with the help of a regional manager. They can speak with the plant and find out exactly what is going on. Unless the plant doesn't to share for some odd reason...
Regarding hail damage, I thought this was interesting.

@Epiphany That hail/weather protection is interesting. In Minneapolis area, I see many dealerships have invested in large parking garage structures, which must be a huge investment. I had assumed that was to carry higher amount of inventory and reduce labor to clear snow and keep the cars show-worthy in winter. But we do get hail storms once or twice a year, and I hadn't thought about that as a factor for them as well. Thanks for the link.

My second car, a 1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R was a hailstorm car. Lived in KC burbs, golf ball storm rolled right down dealership avenue. Paid $7,200 for it brand new, and they fixed the damage. It was white, and looked like a golf ball for a few weeks before they got it fixed. One of the greatest cars I have ever owned!
Anyone got any updates on their Bronco orders? Mine is still in production and no one knows where it is. Last update was 4/29. Spoke with my dealer and he said it was in Canton. Aren't they built in Flat Rock?

I think Bronco is at Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, very close to Canton, so could be location of the storage lot, or just an accuracy issue. I think Flat Rock currently produced Mustangs.

My Bronco was unloaded in Spokane a week ago. I've been waiting for word since then on when it would be trucked to my dealer in MT. Got a call from the dealer earlier this evening that it is now on a truck and should arrive tomorrow. They need a day to prep it, including installation of the tow package. I should be able to take delivery on Thursday or Friday. Probably won't get any sleep between now and then LOL!
I was very ready to give up and purchase one I found at a dealership 3 hours away. Problem is, it didn't have 3 things on it I ordered. I stopped in to meet my salesman who I've only talked to on the phone. Very nice young man, doesn't try to "salesman" me. I decided to hang in there with him and hopefully get the one I ordered. At least for now. Hoping I'm not making a mistake. I haven't had an update since 5/20. All he knows is it's still in Canton, Michigan. BTW, Ford has extended the $750 extra cash added to the X Plan discount. Nice! I thought I lost that while waiting for the bronco. And, there's still the $1000 jeep incentive. Fingers crossed it arrives soon. I just feel like I'm doing the wrong thing cheating my salesman out of a deal. A deals a deal.
Hang in there. It’s really special to get the one they built specifically for you. I know it’s just a vehicle but still, it’s nice to get exactly what you want.

The problem I am having is that I can't forget the last order I had in 2022 that got caught up in the hardtop constraint. After telling me for about 6-8 months that it should be in production "soon" they finally told me that if I wanted the hardtop there was no chance of getting it in 2022.
