Received this from Team Bronco today, my build date was 6/28 they has me thinking all was well up until: my build does not include a modular top! this for a MIC top build

Hello,
We've all been waiting to get back to the wild for a long time now.
You've been patient. And we thank you for that.
We've been doing everything we can.
Through the pandemic.
Through unprecedented demand.
Through supply-chain hurdles and countless other things you don't give a damn about.
All you want is a Bronco.
At this point you've received one or more changes to your production date. These changes are due to the continued challenges of ramping up our hardtop roof supplier, which is causing shifts to the scheduling plan. And while we're investing millions of dollars to fix this issue, that investment won't materialize overnight.
As your Bronco progresses through production, we will continue to alert you at every milestone:
  • Built – This email will confirm your vehicle is produced and awaiting final calibrations and accessory installs. It will include the estimated arrival date at your dealership.
  • Shipped – This email will confirm your vehicle is on its way to your dealer and include the latest estimated arrival date.
To track your real time order & production status, click
If you need to get off-road right now, we're offering priority access to our complimentary off-road driving experience, the Bronco Off-Roadeo. Register
Now for some good news. As you read this, the first Broncos are rolling off the production line and are on their way to customers across the country.
We're going to get these Broncos out there, and we can't wait to see you out there. Doors off. Roof off. Way off any paved surface.
Sincerely,

The Entire Bronco Team

A lot of copy and paste there from a previous email we all got. Hopefully the roof situation gets sorted out soon. The insider info from MAP was positive regarding that possibility.

Answered this before, I don't think we're necessarily delayed, just think it's saying why we've been delayed is all

Did you get another email with your new date? I got the generic 'we had no idea it would be this hard' email, yesterday. But, no other indication that my date moved again. Status still shows 'in production' though...like it has for over a week. Maybe that is code for 'your Bronco is done...except for the top...it is sitting in a warehouse with a piece of plastic over the top while we wait for the MIC to show up....you are number 9,372 on the list for a MIC...currently serving number 7'.

I received the email and called the dealer. My order got pushed two weeks. All smiles still! As long as I have it for my September vacation, I will be one happy camper! I do wish Ford had a better order status system though. Seems like there is a lot of confusion and, in my experience, confusion turns into frustration which turns into anger. Realize that these are unprecedented times, but a great opportunity to fix something that is broke. :)
I wasn't there...

Calmed down since then, but the Bronco guy at the dealer told me.

Their a shortage on twill tops or naw?

Did you get the thread that indicates MAP is shutting down for two weeks in July to allow suppliers to catch up? Was on Bronco6g forum a few minutes ago.

I guess time for another shot. With my luck, my dealer will get my FE Dec 31st at closing time, and tell me to come back next year.

I’ve seen the MAP shutdown post on 6G, cant find anything official yet. If the motor company shutdowns MAP that will be a story all of the trades will write about. My original tracker email still has a build date of the week of 6 28 but I have no sticker as of today. I will remain hopeful up to a story breaking about a shutdown. Flipping roller coaster ride.

I would call 1-800-334-4735 to confirm. That is the bronco order and reservation line with Ford. They haven't been sending out emails to those with production dates that have been delayed. I had thought my build date was 6/28 and after calling that line found that I now had been delayed twice, and have a new (tentative) build date of 8/2. Just dont want you to get a giant disappointment sandwich next week.

Like I told Rock Biter I would call the order number at 1-800-334-4735. I have a sneaking suspicion a lot of us 6/28 folks have been delayed to 8/2. I have seen a ton of others in various threads run into the same issue. I got an email in April with the 6/28 build date but hadnt received anything since then indicating a delay. Then boom! Called the number and got punched square in the balls. Hope this isnt the case for you but dont want it to be surprise if it is.

Been watching these forums for a while, it is a great place for news and information.
I reserved on the first day (well, day after first night). My order for BD 2-door with MIC, upgraded wheels (17" high gloss painted aluminum) was placed on 01/25/2021.
Sadly, I've heard nothing regarding my order. I'm happy to see others getting build dates, but perhaps my order is hitting too many elusive parts.
Should I be worried that I've heard nothing, or just be more patient?
