Thanks for sharing, but there will be no deliveries until December. Production is scheduled to begin on October 26. Then add 4-6 weeks for the first deliveries and that puts us into December for the earliest deliveries.
Anyone has an idea when they would arrive at the dealership showroom floors (not for sale, but for "show")? So we can flock there and gawk, etc? I really would like to sit in one, and get a real feel for it.

How would delivery timing be impacted, if at all, by the timing of when your reservation converts to an order? From reading this and other posts, it sounds like if you finalized an order in the next week, and Ford decided to sequence your build appropriately (ie you skipped all late availability items and had a popular Trim/color) you would still get December delivery? Iām asking because Iāve been trying to convert a reservation to an order for a month and it has been taking some time. Iām not sure how much of the delay is the dealer not caring about a profit margin he wonāt make until December vs the rather obvious delays that have come from Ford itself (configurator differences vs dealer ordering system differences, for one). Got a car on its last legs here, not sure if itāll last another winter!

Also curious about this. My dealer has had some kind of "system issue" that is preventing them from fully submitting the order. I have not actually been to the dealership since they said they could do it all over email due to COVID but I am starting to worry that they don't have the same urgency I have to get the order submitted fully.
I got my FE canceled and Badlands reservation converted to an order yesterday. Iāve been working on this with the dealer for two weeks and they are as frustrated as I am about the glitches in the process. At least itās a step forward.
My dealer was very fast when it came to converting the reservation to an order. I reserved on the 15th of July and converted to order 2 days later after confirming reservation details. Sorry to hear everyoneās having trouble with theirs.

We will have mannequin models available to drive some time in Dec we are hearing...check with your local dealer to see if they have any mannequin models coming in..
It was interesting because my FE converted to an order very quickly, but it was wrong because I didn't have the build tool available when I reserved. The pain came in trying to change the color leading me to cancel and switch to a Badlands. Two weeks was spent first trying to change the FE color and then trying to cancel. Once that happened creating a new reservation for the Badlands and converting it was a breeze.
Very quick on my end to convert the reservation to an order for Badlands. No glitches on the dealer or Ford end of the process. Now just waiting for a build date. I will say that my dealer was very hands on during the process and got schooled up quickly on Fordās ordering nuisances.

Just to give everyone a heads-up, I did not hear from my dealer for 4 days after placing a reservation. I had to call them to confirm and they processed it into an "order" with an order number. I would suggest if you don't hear from your dealer after a few days, call them to make sure they processed the reservation.
Did you create an account at Ford.com when you placed your reservation? If so they should have emailed you with your status or you can view it online.

I heard from my dealer about 10 minutes after I submitted the res with Ford. Went in the next day to enter the order with them, which was a Saturday. It would not submit - he said they've been having intermittent issues getting them in, may need to wait till Monday. He tried again a few minutes later and it went through. Assuming it will take a few days for it to update my Ford account to show step 2 completed.
