I didn't get an email from Ford, but I did get an email from my dealer last night informing me about the build configurator. He said I could configure my build, PDF it, and then send it to them to process the order.

I'll be doing most of that, but doing the final order in person to get a signed purchase order with final pricing.

Same here. I sent over my PDF yesterday.

Could also be 9 a.m. CST - depends on where they activate the system from.
I agree with your prediction. Give s the west coast customers time to get out of bed. I am headed to the dealer at 8:30 eastern

Just to share a lesson learned from my Mach-e experience. If you take your order to your dealer and have them put it in for you (vs. doing it online yourself), you will lose all tracking capability until you are assigned a VIN and your dealer tells you it (~ 2 weeks before production). The order won't be linked to your Ford account and you will have no way of seeing it.

But...

If you order online you will not be able to have order form signed by dealer (making it a contract) locking in purchase price and any verbal "No ADM". Also, there will need to be paid $1,000 deposit somehow. Remember the horror stories from MME about dealers breaking promises later.

I thought the dealer had to send back the final price online with any ADM + extras for final approval. That would seem pretty contractual to me.

I agree with this I much rather have a locked in price than be able to track it before a VIN#

No reason you can't do it online and then go in to the dealer to sign papers.
