I really did get lucky, I guess timing is everything in life. I ordered mine like what 11/22, had a vin by the next week? Production date was then scheduled for 1/24? Wire to wire it might take me three months to get the car.

I’d imagine you’ll have a VIN by February, he may have meant the car won’t be built until March.
Spoke to my salesman a few days ago. I was originally told on 11/24, when I put a non-refundable deposit on an in-transit unit that my BS would arrive on 11/28.
I’ve been pressing them on why my Bronco is still showing as “in production” (build date shows 6/15) if it was shipped and expected to arrive on 11/28. They are swearing up and down that the car is at the rail yard awaiting a truck to bring it to the dealership.
When I asked about the brake recall that caused a stop-ship at the plant and if that was the reason for the delay, he claimed he had never heard of such a thing. Which is cute because there have been multiple articles in the national news about it.
Its pretty obvious I’m being given the run-around and they’re lying straight to my face. I have never had a worse experience with a car manufacturer and dealership than I’ve had with Ford.
I regret ever selling my MOPAR.

No rail car number but some progress.
So out of pure curiosity I spoke with a different dealer than the one I ordered my BB from, and got some numbers on a BL equipped how I'd get one. I didn't expect it'd only be $100 more a month than the BB I ordered, maybe a little more. For all the extra stuff you get on a BL over a BB, thats not bad.
I just got a new job back in November and make quite a bit more now. Hmmm, could a BL actually be obtainable for me now?

Checked with my dealer today, and my MY22 OBX is on the ground at the UP rail yard in Chicago Heights IL. It has been there since 12/21. It is just waiting for a truck to take it the 2.5 hours west to my dealer.
We have big snow storm coming Sat (4-7") and with my luck, it will be dropped at the dealership during the storm. God I hope not ?
Any way the finish line is in sight

Check out this coincidence: I visited my dealer this afternoon to discuss financing arrangements. My MY22 Badlands is due to arrive here in Connecticut next week, but he tells me that it’s stuck at the pier up in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, one hour away, awaiting a truck driver. Apparently the Covid crisis has sidelined a lot of workers including those driving the car transport trucks. If it’s not one thing, it’s another! Good luck to you all!Checked with my dealer today, and my MY22 OBX is on the ground at the UP rail yard in Chicago Heights IL. It has been there since 12/21.

I placed an order 12/27 for a 22 BL in cyber Orange with premium package, moonroof, and copilot 360+. Got my confirmation email the next day. The email didn't list my moonroof, but also had a disclaimer saying it didn't list everything. So I called the sales guy and he confirmed it was on the order. It's on my preview prinout as well.
Dealership seemed like they thought it'd be in in a couple months, but I'm not expecting much based on what I'm seeing here.
