Sadly I was in a meeting and missed it live, so I am an hour behind.

most likely was. The whole dealer allocation thing was a mess. Hopefully taking dealers out of the mix will mean it will be a smoother process now. The reality is dealerships are not needed anymore

Certainly the dealer allocations played a big part. Many Ford dealers didn't know what their allocations were going to be and oversold their allocations badly which is why some people didn't get their reservation/order until '23.

Here is the email we got, just for reference:

Confirmation Email: Thursday, October 24, 2024 5:31 PM CST - 3:31 Pacific

Reserved 8pm Eastern time on reveal day

Looks like 3:30 Pacific (6:30 Eastern) is the earliest that reservations were possible. If anyone has an earlier reservation, you’re a rare bird, as we’ve not seen one yet.

I think whoever is first should have lots of happy hours

My reservation email was exactly 3:30PM Pacific while the launch stream was going and charge hit my card at 3:30PM as well. I’m 7th on the reservation list so I’m hoping that’s fairly early.

When I reserved a Bronco at launch I was on the 3rd day and that meant I didn’t get mine until 8 months after the first ones hit the road. (Plus order specific and dealership BS)

The lesson from that experience should’ve been that there’s a giant difference between “early reservations” on the first day and “early reservations” thereafter.

Yes, and I reserved my Bronco the first day reservations went out, but I got mine Feb 2022. But that was because of restraints at the factory like hardtops, trailer hitches, etc. I didn't cave in like my buddies did and swap out their hardtop for a soft top. I waited it out, lol
