That may be the one backhanded good part about Ford canceling my original Premium order without my OK -- never finding out if it might have actually arrived even sooner than my Machdrop will. When the ONLY reason I switched to what became a Machflop was (by nearly all the insider info here) the likelihood of getting it in 2020 instead (for a $1500 tax credit), months sooner than I'd have expected for my 29k res#. Turns out that a few res#'s in the 30k's are showing Nov or early Dec builds now, as though Ford said "Eh, let's just throw out reservation priority and pretend people haven't been waiting in line for a year".I’m so glad I cancelled my Mach Drop order when I got my 14 Dec premium order email notification. I’d be so pissed to pay $3,600 for the privilege of waiting 2 more months to get my “first” edition. Actually...it’s now 6 Dec build week.
Agree with everything you said. This is the first American car I've ever purchased (well....will purchase soon). So far, I'm not very impressed at all. I really hope when I see this car in a couple of weeks it will amaze me.That may be the one backhanded good part about Ford canceling my original Premium order without my OK -- never finding out if it might have actually arrived even sooner than my Machdrop will.

Gotta be really committed to a car to put up with this much crap. Just about anything else I'd have said "F---this" and walked away after being screwed over at every turn with Machflop.
I'm just the opposite - never owned a foreign car. Hadn't actually gone back and added it up before, but we've had all Ford's lately (4 Escapes, 1 Ranger, 1 Contour over the last 30 years), and a few Dodges and Chevy's before that.Agree with everything you said.

Thanks for the info. Still, very disappointing and misleading from Ford. Not happy about the way this was presented to us. Mine is still unscheduled. Oh well..Just talked to my dealer, my build date for the Mach drop first edition is January 4th. Still no email from Ford which is a little frustrating but at least I know when the car will be built. Hopefully I’ll have the car in February!!! If you have a Mach Drop I’d recommend contacting your dealer they probably have a build date for you. 2021 MachE first edition grabber blue, Saint Clair Shores Michigan
I received the 10/2 email and I also received confirmation from the retail orders folks that “my order is confirmed” but still it hasn’t been entered, which is frustrating since apparently they began entering them two months ago and they said that all orders would be entered by mid October. I tried asking retail orders if they can check on my status or even confirm that I WILL have an order entered but they said they don’t have access to that on their end. Then when I ask if they can give me the contact info of someone I can ask, they basically blew me off and said they don’t have such contact info.My wife tried to get me to choose that color. I'm pretty sure there were 289 Mach-Drops. I think there were a few, including mine, that were missing out of that number.
So yeah, 300.
I'm actually surprised at the 8, not in the system. I assume that those are all people who did not receive an email on ~10-2 regarding their Mach-Drop order.
Talked to my dealer today, my Mach Drop FE now appears in the dealer system, no build date yet, so I updated my poll response.2627
So +$1800 per week. Better make em special! ?My Mach Drop FE is now scheduled to build week of 1/4/21, which is 2 weeks before my original Premium order is scheduled.
