Who will get the first batch

It better be reservation order, or I’ll be pissed!
I would guess reservation order but available parts and running like orders at the same time would probably be part of the mix.
Sure, that applies to any production vehicle. But time of reservation should trump time of ordering, or the whole thing has been a sham!

In my situation I'm not a golden ticket winner but I have a day 1 reservation and the dealer has 5 allocations so I got a slot. I have to pay more but screw it... it's a raptor and I didn't settle for anything else.
There’s a reason the dealers got all the ADM orders in first. But I think Ford will build them in whatever order Ford wants.

That could be partially true, but my dealer had my golden ticket and one allocation. He was able to get his order in first (there was a glitch in the system…. New orders went right in, but conversations from reservations had a glitch). Anyway, both done same day about 5 hrs apart, but he was able to do mine as a priority 10, but his allocation as a priority 19.
You’re at the highest priority.
Pri 10 vs Pri 19 only has context within a single dealership. Otherwise it’s neutral from a national scheduling priority standpoint.
Not many options so they should all be able to be built. Maybe by region?
It will be interesting to see what criteria Ford uses for production order. I see my Ford page has been updated to show a Code Orange Raptor, my reservation number now is my order number and the order date is 03/17/21, the date my dealer originally changed it to an order. I just hope it doesn't show up while I'm on a vacation or traveling for work.

Not to start a fight or anything but I'm just like you day 1 reservation holder and I was NOT selected for raptor. So I got a kick in the nuts big time when both (2) of my day reservations were not selected for raptor. If I get mine first as I think I should because I'm paying 20k over msrp. I was just unlucky not to get the golden ticket.
They will produce by grouping options together, an early reservation time stamp (for a golden ticket) will probably get you to the beginning of that group. Whatever parts constraints, if any, will dictate which groups go first. Ford isn't going to tell everyone what criteria is used, you'll just get a build date.
