Valid point. There was not a very big window when FE reservations could be made. I guess someone who was not aware that reservations had opened or was not ready to decide could have missed that window and thus their first choice.

It was stated they were very limited from day one, you had 9 days before they sold out. I don't get why people are upset they didn't get one and how its unfair.

I'm mad at myself because when I ordered I decided to not get AWD, but by the time came to order I wanted AWD so I missed out on FE because of that.

I'm trying to get a FE now because its a possibility to do so but if I don't, oh well, I get it and understand that it was limited and I didn't make that decision in time.

That's not what people are unhappy about. Everyone understands that a limited edition that runs out fast is just the way limited editions work. If you don't act fast, you miss out. That's fair.

What people are upset about with this new deal is them suddenly dumping some extra FEs into the market for the general public to grab without giving priority to those that have patiently been waiting in line for 10 months. In other words, day 10+ reservation holders. Someone that wanted an FE but just missed out on day 10,11,12... and settled for a Premium instead should have first choice to these extra FEs.

There are things Tim has said I do not agree with, but this is a reasonable take in my opinion.

FYI - there are a number of "Easter Eggs" that will reveal more drops in the future.

Hmmm, My dealer already tried to get me one. Does this mean he gets/has to try again? I have already bugged him more than I am comfortable with. I guess it will be worth it to jump to the front of the line ( I mean to get that special stitching and stuff).

Maybe because I don't read about cars and trucks on a regular basis, it was fully 6 weeks after the MME launch before I became aware that it existed. I placed a reservation that same day, but it was too late to chose an FE. I could just shrug and say you snooze, you lose, but I don't feel bad about trying to get an FE despite not being aware before the launch. I thought at the time that I would get the Premium before the end of the year, but then the virus came along and messed that up.

This will probably be my last new car as I will be retiring soon, and I want it to be one that I will be happy with for a while. I can't just wait 2-3 more years, I want to have it paid off before I retire. Getting the $7500 rebate next spring will enable me to have the car paid off by the end of 2021.

Just got this email from UNCRATE - I guess I was selected.

Hope it works out - it says it confirms your selection but the process of Ford calling is the sames as the previous drop - what happens after they call you is still unknown - same as previous drop where no one seems to have their dealer contact them yet for the order confirmation - hope this is works better
