Did any Wave 1 Orders get this on their Reservation Page prior to invitations? I checked just a couple of minutes ago and the site was taking a while and then this showed up before it went to the reservation page:

Prior to my ability to order the site was intermittently showing my reservation. Sometimes it was blank and sometimes not. I was in wave 1.

I see the same thing if I use the backdoor tracker: https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId= (add your reservation number after the = sign).
What is the backdoor tracker? I put my reservation number in and I now see the same thing that says "Its time to order your new lightning"

I will be so fired up if I can order this week (Ordered less than 5 mins after opening)

This came from the B6G forum. It has been used to try and figure out the status of your Bronco build outside the other Ford links. I just figured what the heck see what happens with my Lightning reservation when I input it. I don't know if it means anything or not although my Lightning reservation is in the 21000 range and supposedly #1 at my dealer so maybe I get a wave 2 invite?

Hope so! Can someone else verify if it works for all reservations or just ones in wave 2?

When wave 1 came through, many people used the backdoor to try to put their order through without being invited. The problem with that is the dealer knows on their end who actually got an invite. When you submit your order, dealer has to accept to complete it and send to ford. So if there is no invite to order for you, they cannot accept the order. There were some saying that dealers were contacting them saying they can't order at this time. So even though the backdoor might get you to the order process, don't expect to get through the roadblocks.

I should not be in wave 2 with a 6/25 reservation. But I see the same as above but there is no way to order so doubt it means much. Though would be interesting if known adm dealers show the adm. mine just should msrp on pro

6/3 Reservation and same - I don't think this means anything about the next wave.

I can reliably get the pop-up to Order Now, but I get no options to order.

I called Ford and they said their site has just been glitching a lot, and they didn't see me as an invite.

If it doesn't say order now why would you call Ford? Lol This is why dealer aren't telling us anything

Well, *some* dealers aren't telling us anything because they don't know, and they don't know anything because they honestly don't care at all. My dealership has taken great care of me in the past, but on the Bronco and Lightning front, they clearly have no incentive to help me in any way at this stage. I'm an early reservation holder on the Bronco, but because I ordered a Wildtrak with a hard top, they treat me like radioactive waste, haha
