I know we have a couple of members that work at the factory level or have insight into factory level production...when do you expect wave 1 and/or 2 to be scheduled for production?

My dealers mannequin was scheduled for it's build week of March 28th on January 7th. Roughly 11 weeks. We are still hearing Job1 will be around the middle of April. If that holds true, following the mannequin scheduling, wave 1 orders should start scheduling around the beginning or middle of February.

How does Ford usually schedule builds anyway? Do they go by trim, paint color, etc?

With the Bronco is has been all about constraints, they build what they have parts to build. Ford has sent out emails suggesting people swap to a soft top, 2.3L engine, non Sasquatch, no tow package, etc along the way to get orders satisfied. If the ER battery is constrained they they will build mostly SR trucks to keep the lines moving. If some Pro specific part is constrained they will build something else. If some component shared across all models is constrained I’m assuming they‘ll build the highest profit Lariat and Platinum models first.

And here I thought that stopped once you got the invite. ?
Always looking for that next checkmark! ;)
Once I have it, I'll start the refreshing all over again looking for the 'In Production' checkmark.

Does anyone have an order sheet that shows their order being Job #1?

I've only seen a couple posted on here and they all say job #2, including mine. Someone on here said a while ago all Lightnings are job 2..just wanted to confirm because I read on an MME forum, some orders were Job 1, others were Job 2..
