Spoke with my dealer today and they said that my Bronco was built awaiting final prep . . . It moved to "In production" on 9/14 and he said had a final buile date of 9/21.
HOW? If the plant is Closed, how can it be built . . . or is it now going ot sit for final finish at the currently closed plant?
Did you read my post #42? Almost for sure it wasn't built (nor moved on the line) since 9/14.

if any portion of assembly is on strike, nothing is moving unless they are sending out orders prior to a certain date. OR, the system is automated and some say built when they are just sitting there half built. Mine says built as of 9/19 and I got an email saying they are prepping for shipment.

Yeah I feel like the people getting updates was a delay with the tracker as those folks have build weeks prior the the 18th from what I’ve seen.
I agree it definitely is a positive that they are not striking ford more as it confirms this is good progress which gives me hope that at this pace we can see ford make a deal soon if talks keep going in this direction.
we’re back in the saddle. They’re working before ratification next week! Woop!

Yup, I read the same this evening and was pleasantly surprised by that. I guess they are nearly 100% confident they will get the simple majority vote needed. It would be silly to get back to work before the vote otherwise. I wonder how long it will actually take to get the various lines (MAP and otherwise) back up and running? I'm sure it will be absolutely priority #1 and done as quickly as possible. Every day is $$ lost.

When does the Ford Bronco production get started back? I received my email the day of the strike I had went into production.

I'm almost in the same position @jgraham37128 .

Line is "open" now at very, very low capacity (ref).

Ford will be cancelling some orders that have already been scheduled. Not clear if that also applies to those of us already in production (ref). Logic (and desperation and hope) leads me to believe "in production" is much much safer than just scheduled. Also sounds like line capacity will be ramping up ASAP. Fingers crossed.

This is killing me. Sounds clear that some at the scheduled stage (which I think means VIN+scheduled) are going to get cancelled. It seems "logical" that the one step further along of "in production" wouldn't be cancelled. However, most things Bronco ordering have certainly not followed logic...

Finally found my Window Sticker.

I had tried this link+VIN at the end ( https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin= ) to get the WS and it did not work. So I resorted to the order tracker one ( https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordert...5dau8axzpzZV8CrN6iqM670FXy8qlxA60WtRl4_HFpE#/ ) . That has consistently reported to "check back". However, the first link now gets me my WS.

The only little gem I found on the WS is that I had a scheduled blend date of 09/20.

Still no certainty about not getting cancelled, but all evidence points in a positive direction.
