News deluge, folks, today and tomorrow. Get your umbrellas out (or just soak it all in).

But first, did you all enjoy the Clubhouse chat last night? I sure liked hearing from the community! I hope even more of you can make it next time. We keep it casual, so don't be intimidated by @BuzzyBud's presence, even if he did speak to the CEO of Ford (for all you TikTok-ers -- tell me being a BN member has perks without telling me being a BN member has perks. Played out, but true).

OK, news!

• FordPass Rewards – What Every Bronco Owner Needs to Know -- the latest, with more clarity to the questions we had
• In the News: the Ford Bronco Raptor -- You've seen the rumors ... or maybe, you haven't. Here's what other outlets are saying.
• 2021 Ford Bronco Break-In Period -- Treat her like a princess. But only for the first 1,000 miles.

Threads!

• It's a Thursday: Y'all are getting some emails for production scheduling. And more emails will come tomorrow. Sorry, no PIGEONS!!
• Bronco Shopping List - Anything and Everything. I know our dads deserve heartfelt love and thanks, but I also KNOW our dads deserve some monetary presents as well. June 20. Join @Level3Looper and get those lists going now. It's that, Snap-On tools, or socks, otherwise.

Normally scheduling emails start out in the morning, not 2pm. I hope it’s not a “Dear SlashRacer” email.

My fingers and toes are still crossed. If it is a “Dear SlashRacer” email, I will put my big girl panties on and take it like a man.

There’s always NEXT Thursday.

That's the spirit! Hopefully everyone still gets sleep tonight I hate knowing details like the time but not what it will say.

Next Owner's Manual installment: removing the hard top glass. Granted, you've got a few months on this one. :cry:

Noticed that it said “customer communication“ which could mean anything, anything like “Dear Lonzo71, we’re sorry for the long delay in email, but rest assured that we are trying our best, and we’ll give you an update to your order by Sept/Oct, no later than Dec. Thank you, Ford Co.

I hope tomorrow’s email doesn’t express either of the following scenarios:

Our willingness to wait reveals the value we place on the object we're waiting for.

Waiting patiently.

Waiting patiently.

Waiting impatiently! Today is not going to be a good day if I don't hear something. Really apprehensive of what kind of communication we will get. Hoping for all of us it's good news!

Dear Bronco Customers,
Ford will continue sending out build dates come July if you have not received one as of May 27th you then can expect one to come in July 1st 2021

God I hope it is better news than that

I understand. I am just trying to stay positive.

I’m very positive.

Im very positive this reservation thing is like trying to herd cats.

What a disappointment. The email basically says Ford can’t do what they promised (give a forecast for planning ) and they can’t give any notification until it’s on the build schedule which is barely just before they actually deliver it. So, you will get your Bronco sometime between July 2021 and December 2022 assuming everything goes perfect from here on out - that’s the May update. You won’t get another notice or update until just before they are ready to build it.

The marketing, operations and communications departments are not all on the same page. They should have come clean on this way before the last day in May! I get the complexity and the pickle they are in, but I don’t get the communication mistakes they keep making.

I’m very positive.

I'm Very Positively Going To Drink Now!!!

@Laura is talking to the rest of the BN crew right now. "Well everyone, that email sucked. Who's ready for a long weekend. Make sure to turn off notifications."

Lol --- it's better than expected! I wish it was a surprise like, "all the billions in investments paid off and we built all your Broncos without telling you as a present; they'll be in your drive tomorrow," but it could have been worse. I did do a dump and run though because we've got more news to share tonight I'm working on!

I think the communications department should get a little creative and send everyone a monthly email with your odds of winning a build e-mail next month. This would at least give us something to look forward to and hopefully the odds get a little better each month. So, if you have a Bronco with hard top and Sasquatch and a tow package your odds would be 1 in 1,000,000 for July. Let’s at least have some fun with this!

Maybe the bookies can post the odds at Vegas and we can place our bets!

After receiving that email I didn't log back into BN. Didn't want to read anything about it over the weekend. So disappointing.
