The general understanding so far is that late cancellation becomes dealer inventory, and the dealer can do whatever they want with it (including, but not limited to, sell them at mark up to whoever is willing to pay).
That may not be the case. There are reports of dealers saying orders has to be filled by the named person. People with Premium that converted to Mach Drop FE. Take it with a grain of salt. (sorry but not sure which of the threads mentioned it)
I don't think what you said conflicts with what I said.
My dealer clearly told me he could not accept/sell an extra MME to anyone other than a reservation/order/machdrop named person. Not sure what the real enforcement of this is, fine, penalty, reduction of other inventory, etc.? But he’s a very legit, large, long term dealer who wants to follow the Ford rules which I appreciate. Gives him more credibility to me for sure.
Added my build date through form submission - week of 12.21.20.
Interesting idea! I just called and spoke to Paula. She is able to see my order but not a VIN number. Said it was not issued yet but that when it is, it will be visible through the order tracking page and can also be obtained from my dealer.
I probably asked way too many questions.
No, buyers must complete their purchase within 5 days of delivery to the dealer.
It's interesting at the URL above that it finds my VIN, but does not show a production day yet. But still useful to know it is there.Interesting idea! I just called and spoke to Paula.

Also, it seemed like she could see that it's scheduled for production but she didn't see the week. (She asked if it was 11/23, I replied that's great news since the email said 12/14, and she replied that the 12/14 is what I should go by since the emails go out in batches and she wasn't sure.)
Same for anticipated delivery date... check w/ the dealer. (I'm checking. Dealer will get back to me later today.)
... Anyway. Most of the questions I asked required some on-hold research and the response was to check with my dealership as they might have that information.
She also provided this URL that might be useful for folks who do have a VIN #:
https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/
The call got disconnected (not my fault I swear) while she was letting me know that she couldn't find installation instructions for the Connected Charge Station, but the dealership might have info.
