Woke up and found this in my email this morning. I guess it's official!

Me too! I obsessively checked my status about a hundred times since my blend date. This morning, it would not yield my status at all. Freaked me out a little. Then the tracker finally refreshed and it showed as built... Phew!

BuckYeah

BLEND DAY. It’s when the body meets the chassis, and a BRONCO is born. Hundreds of people have built thousands of parts, all for the manufacture of this incredibly capable off-road vehicle. It’s a remarkable achievement if you stop to think about it. Yet mine is just one of many. Is anyone here celebrating their Bronco’s birth this week?

I hope people still waiting for their Broncos to get built have theirs scheduled for production soon! I whipped up this silly graphic as a lighthearted way of summarizing my own experience. I only wish getting a Bronco were as simple as pushing a button!

Congratulations!!! I share in the excitement!!! My blend date for my Wildtrak was Dec 6 - reflects it's still in production. I've been refreshing daily and it's still in production. Chatted with a rep at Ford.com today for the latest update which is as follows: "I show the status of your 2023 BRONCO is in Production. At this time your vehicle does have a scheduled ETA from Dec-10-2022 and Dec-16-2022. I do not see any hold on your vehicle that may affect your ETA date. If you don't yet have the following resources available, please bookmark https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking and with your VIN you can track your 2023 BRONCO. I am also delighted to see that you're excited to ride in your new vehicle. Rest assured, if there are any new updates, you will be the first to know. We would recommend staying in contact with the Sales Manager at your Ford dealership for updates on the vehicle as they will be in the best position to assist you. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"

I confirmed the ETA is related to the arrival date at my dealership not the production date. I'm not holding my breath it will arrive this soon. I've yet to receive the build date email. Hoping for the best - great news we are so much closer to our baby Broncos!!!!

No email yet but my tracker changed to this this morning.

Nice, life will be so much happier for you soon enough. It's looking like it could be a very merry Christmas for you.

Try this site: Ford Service Info

Use the drop-down menu to select your country (UNITED STATES) and click submit. Then enter your VIN in the window at the top of the page. Then enter the security code at the bottom of the page. (Watch out that you don't let your computer "correct" the spelling of what you enter.) Then click submit and another page should open which will show your VIN, then leave a space for the Tear Tag and Vehicle Data. The PCM and BCE Modules will appear with this information. The PCM Modules do not populate, but the BCE Modules do, so watch for those. They're a cryptic series of numbers that appear in three columns. They don't mean much to anyone except technicians. What they indicate, however, is that your vehicle has computers that are speaking to one another. Once the modules populate, you've got yourself a live Bronco. :geek:

Good luck!

I got into the modules page. Got a tear tag………..it’s alive!!!!!!🤖🦾🦿

So. . . Any updates other than a bunk delivery estimation?

Nope. My daily check-in has yielded no new information. (Sad trombone)

Almost worse waiting for the “shipped” email…

Patience is a virtue
Some learn, others have innate
Whether it present or future state
Gratification delays makes one Great
Tame your energies, stay steady and sedate
Good things come to those who wait.

You channeling Yoda? 😁

Thanks for the earworm, @Calgecko! By the way, I love the soundtrack you chose for your SoCal video. Was that AUDIOSLAVE? Can't mistake Chris Cornell.
