📈 Bronco March 2022 Sales: 9,757 Sold / 14,953 Produced

[miami2823]

Delivered. Probably made more but are stacked up on ice/mud mountain and/or in transport.

If that's the case, April's numbers should be massive, right?

I do not want to beat a dead horse, but I want another confirmation that “sales” equals delivered and not “produced”. That is correct?

Correct.

You realize that over half of all reservations took place within the first 24 hours right?

How many have cancelled because there was no skin in the game with the measly $100 reservation? How many never placed the first order or gave up when it was time to order again? How many said to hell with it and bought something else?

I would put money that there will be no more than about half of those original reservations that ever saw this thing through. Now how many are left? From the looks of this board alone I would say quite a few.

? Where is the full report ? . . including production ? ?

- still not available @ Ford website

? is Ford embarrassed ?

In the past, Ford has occasionally taken a little longer to post the supplemental pages (e.g., production totals, production by plant, inventory), so they may be tabulating these numbers real time and posting as soon as they are finalized. Remember, the month of March just ended on Thursday, and most companies who report monthly to their own lenders take at least 20 days after month end to finalize their monthly financial reports.

I bet the production and inventory numbers are challenging to tabulate accurately right now, given how many units are in holding yards awaiting chips and other components. They clearly aren't in Finished Goods inventory because they are not yet complete. Most likely, they are classified as Work-In-Process inventory, so they may not even count as Produced at this point. Then you have to add in the number of vehicles in transit, which is always a moving target (pun intended). Given the number of models that are being impacted by semiconductor supply constraints alone, I bet the production and inventory numbers are a nightmare to tabulate accurately right now.

so combined with last year's sales it's safe to say Ford is about 40% through initial orders probably much higher, yet there is still a boatload of us day 1/2 very early people that still don't have build dates all the way through May.

lol, just lol...

Abso-effing-lutely. I am day 2 rez and not even a whiff of a notion of when this thing could get built. I can forgive commodity constraints but seriously if they are building 23K Broncos thus far, WHERE THE F--- IS MY TRUCK?!?! Not too mention they are churning out new models of Lighting, Mavericks, and Raptors- I've been waiting for 2 years?!

I have never worked so hard to give someone $50K in my life.

@Ford does not honor it's reservation holders.

It's like making a reservation for 2 at a restaurant months in advance of your anniversary, and when you show up to eat, they make you sit and wait because they have an influx of walk-in customers off the street they want to get to first because they have people in their party of 5 who may possibly order chicken (of which they have an abundance of) and only some who may order the steak. Then as you wait, they tell you they ran our of steak (3 of 5 ordered the steak in the other party), so you have to wait on a shipment, no ETA though. But feel free to go eat at the gas station, they have week old roast beef sandwiches in seran wrap.

Actually, don't forget they built over 54k in 2021. Sitting at over 75K total through Feb.

Well - yeah - except almost every single person who has walked away from a reservation left a dealer with a reservation / live order to keep and profit from. And you can bet they converted it to Big Bend four door soft top the next day and were scheduled a month after.

More like making a reservation for 2 through a third-party app that promises to sell you the restaurant food for cheaper. But, that third-party app only has so many tables it can sell, and people getting upset that the restaurant isn't only selling food to those with that app.

Considering Ford said they had like 160-170k order conversions in 21, I would confidently say almost none of the first 24 hour reservations cancelled

I too have been waiting since 2/9/21 for a base 2 door and still have no build date. I was very patient this hole time but the thing that finally switched my pissed switch was when they were giving away a Bronco on Wheel Of Fortune.
But we are still waiting.

Pretty sure it was a Bronco Sport on Wheel of Fortune...

Third party app? Not sure where you made your reservation, or if you even have since you just joined this forum last month, but I made mine directly on the Ford website.

It was no 'Sport'

I'm talking about your dealer being the "third-party app". I've been a reservation holder since 7/21, so much later than many. I didn't go with a small dealer promising below MSRP (though I am getting MSRP) to a list of more than 800 people when they were never going to get that allocation within 2 years.

I get why people went with Granger. What I don't understand is why those same people think Ford wasn't going to let all their dealers sell cars to customers.
