Updated B&P Pricing for Painted Tops

[North7]

I'm in IT. Work for a company "based in Silicon Valley". All our developers are in Romania, Thailand, and India. QA is non-existent. Basically, Marketing guy says what he wants.

Some coder in a far away land, paid pennies on the dollar takes a swing at it, then goes to another company that pays $.02 more per hour, his contract runs out, or the company he works for goes out of business.

Marketing guy finds out systems are down, has to re-explain in agonizing detail what he wants again, 2-3 weeks later it gets "fixed" but breaks a ton of other stuff, then the process starts over again.

I'm thinking the B&P BS is probably about, "it's just a website, we can get these 5 guys from Karjackistan to do it for $20 - deal!" Maybe, maybe not, but from my seat a plausible scenario.

Very likley, but where is the management to understand, review, test and rework, all on an offline server? If a company is to stupid to realize they need that their stock deserves to be in the toilet.

If that is the corporate philosophy, I tremble to think the quality that is going into the Bronco.

Next thing you will tell me the winch blocks the camera and the rear air vents are on the floor, oh wait.

Not there if you are building a 2dr

Ouch - costs 2500 for a shadow black mod top for 2door for those in Canada, and no soft top

Mistakes like this are pretty nuts for a big company. They had people thinking for months that they got a free transmission.

So with your plausible scenario ALL websites for these SUPER LARGE companies should encounter these problems .... ALL OF 'EM .... no matter domestic or foreign!!
dude, you need to change your seat FFS .... Unless marketing guy only works for the Ford Bronco Div

Yes but the picture shows a MIC top.

The fine print states that what you are seeing is a pre-production model.

Even so, there's literally no way that the body-color painted hard top is less than a shadow black one. It's gotta be the MIC.

You are 100% spot on, the stock market agrees with you as well.

That's called a buying opportunity.

Trying to find reasons... And kindness.... They're under a ton of pressure - from us! So in the rush to get things out, mistakes will be made. Still.... Most of us would be gone

 

[bmclain]

So are we to assume the dual tops are no longer late availability? Why isn't there an option for the MIC and soft top? That was previously listed as one of the options. I know some of you hate on the MIC top, but for the Badlands it matches the rest of the trim better than the black top would, and I seriously dislike the body colored top.

That's what we're saying. The listing for body-color dual tops is most likely a mistake, and should be MIC/soft top. Fully agreed that MIC > black modular on the Badlands.

they're under a ton of pressure form us?!?! ......... if they feel any pressure at all, I strongly doubt its exerted by us! They are displaying incompetence in plain view!
Its a fkng website FFS ..... its not like the rest of Ford hasn't run a website before

 

[BroncoKong Jr.]

Never a good one though

That's called a buying opportunity.

Understanding broad market indexes, Check the ETF symbol, VTI, plus 96%, Ford stock over 5 years, minus 29%.

Select 5 year view.

Nope, not at all. As I said, "a plausible scenario".

Many, many websites and web stores work just fine as I'm sure you know. I'm basing this on the fact that there are math and display errors. those are coding mistakes.

I disagree. Due to the pressure from this forum, ford is now offering another interior color option other than blue for FE owners.

if I was ford I would give the middle finger to this forum. All this complaining proves ONE point ... you can’t make everyone happy and when you try, you make no one happy.
