Did she use the word "important"...cause my mom said I was "special," which I always thought meant important.
Nah, she always called me a “son of a bitch”, which I translated as “important”. 🤷🏽‍♂️ She also said I look at the world through rose-colored glasses.

Yes, resin is an issue across multiple industries automotive to mattresses (foam), anything that contains plastics:

1) It's easy to be really chill when you have the earliest possible production week.

2) Is it a resin supply issue? Most of the talk is quality control issues. Maybe both? If it's resin, how is Jeep still getting hard tops? Maybe some communications that aren't just mysterious notes to the dealers would be helpful here, as well?

3) I got the hell out of automotive.

This is completely my thought process. I don't care whose Bronco they build first just start knocking them out so the line gets smaller.
You'll care when your dealer runs out of allocations and youre left wondering where your shit is next spring.

No I really wont. I'm buying another prerunner to tide me over until it arrives. I can wait, I was a late reservation anyways.

Has anyone wondered, or answered: where are the FE builds going for the people who reserved a FE and bailed because of the Navy Pier, mod roof, tow package, or some other missed promise/probable delay? They took 7000 reservations, then closed the window, right? Then, say 500 went with a different trim (like me), yet it looks like they are making 7,000+...who's getting them?
Easy....the VIP's. At least that's what my VIP order got.

Pro Tip to becoming a VIP.

Up here in Canada where marijuana is legal, a nice little gift of L.A.Kush Cake seems to go a long way. I gave my salesguy a thank you gift and 3 days later I got a build week, July 19th!

Total BS, that’s all I have to say about VIP priority orders.
Per my comment, the vast majority of 'VIP' appears to be orders that have NONE of the delayed parts/options/trims.

I feel like you ask this every week or so 😂 I think the answer is the same as last time my
If that's truly your feelings about the wait, you'd be a glutton for punishment if you went ahead and pre-ordered right now. You'd be 2023 delivery, easy.
Apologizing ahead of time for not listening to anything FE buyers say here. It's easy to have a better POV when you know you'll have yours by end of summer...
