We are ALL inconvenienced (at the low end of the spectrum) all the way to completely livid and dumping the Bronc for something else (high end of the spectrum) for various reasons.
Timelines didn't pan out as we were either told, led to believe, or assumed.
Parts availability on the B&P, and now with the tops being a delay factor.
Parts available on some builds but not others when we had our hearts set on a certain build that is impossible from the factory (but possible after the fact).
Soooo many grievances and let-downs.
And it permeates this forum like the plague with members going at each other now, arguing over things none of us can control.
I'm just a regular guy on here who always tries to be fair, play the Devil's advocate, tries to boost up my 6G family. so if you don't agree with what I am about to say, that's ok too. It doesn't mean I dislike you or want to argue. It's just something to ponder, no right or wrong answer or conclusion.
Long story short:
I am not surprised by the delay. Not one bit.
Am I bummed? Well, yeah. Am I turning my back on my dream? No.
In this new world we all face (every person on this planet whether you are a school child or a CEO or leader of a nation), these are unprecedented times. We are all STILL in plan B mode, reaction mode, survival mode.
I am a plant manager. I see first-hand how it affects manufacturing, manpower, forecasts, and scheduling. Not to mention $.
Some on here are not in the manufacturing world and think C-19 shouldn't affect a business' means of providing a good or service.
Nothing is further from the truth.
C-19 is a kick in the gut in this sector.
WE, at our plant, have faced shortages from parts, supplies, PPE (Neoprene gloves were $4 a box, now $18 if you can find them), manpower.
Our customer faces the same challenges.
Production is down to about 20% of what it was a year ago due to ALL of the factors C-19 throws in the mix.
SO take a second and breathe before lashing out or thinking things aren't getting handled the way they should, in the time you think they should.
Yeah, it sucks to wait, and now wait even longer. But nothing we say or do will change it.
Remember the serenity prayer.
It certainly applies here.
Peace, my bros and sisters!
