Was told the reservation order would be online by Paula.
My guess is that the scheduling will be done in early august, which is why the FE and premiums need top be converted by then - so everyone keeps their place in line and ford can start production. I would further suppose that select/rt1/gt reservations converted to orders AFTER the schedule is made will be placed at the end of the schedule regardless of timestamp or anything else - so if you wait until 12/31 to order you will likely be looking at a summer delivery.
One of our Forum members had been told previously that if FEs are available, earlier reservation holders would have first dibs. Of course that may have changed or may have been a guess at the time. I think the whole idea of how one could grab an unused FE reservation may be something Ford hasn't figured out yet.
This agrees with the nugget at the end of the Forbes article on hands-free driving:
One thing that isn't clear is when the order banks open for the reservation holders, is it black friday free for all where everyone rushes in? Or will the timestamp/reservation # play a roll in when we can place our order.
I was told be the Ford Rep that it was first come, first serve when the order bank opens, but she could be mistaken.
Tuttle-Click Ford told me they were not aware of any Plan Pricing for the Mach-E. Who did you speak to?
Jesus .. did you respond with "Oh so you want to calculate how much I've spent with you? Well once you get that number you can add +$0 dollars to it and that will be my lifetime number"

Thanks. I haven't heard back from them, but found another dealer that will accept Plan Pricing if it's available. I updated the wiki.
Let's give them the benefit of the doubt til after next week's training sessions.It's like they're clueless that the vehicle is going to be available for order next week.
