Communication for Unscheduled Orders Coming Today @ 4PM Eastern

[soupcook]

No, you wrote that. Please tell me you wrote that.

Here is my May 28 update from Ford:

Hello, We've all been waiting to get back to the wild for a long time now. You've been patient. And we thank you for that. We've been doing everything we can. Through the pandemic. Through unprecedented demand. Through supply-chain hurdles and countless other things you don't give a damn about. All you want is a Bronco. The reason this email is down to the wire is because we've been doing everything we possibly can to avoid the need to send it. This launch has scuttled our best intentions and assumptions, so we want to set things right by talking to you straight: we are not yet able to give you a delivery timing update. This is due to our Achilles heel in this launch, the hardtop roofs. Our production capacity doesn't match up with the actual orders we received. And while we are investing millions of dollars to fix our roof supply issue, that investment unfortunately won't materialize overnight. Given these challenges, we unfortunately can't provide you with a definitive delivery window. Instead, we will alert you as your Bronco achieves every milestone in the production process: Scheduled for Production – This email will provide an approximate build week. Built – This email will confirm your vehicle is produced and awaiting final calibrations and accessory installs. It will include the estimated arrival date at your dealership. Shipped – This email will confirm your vehicle is on its way to your dealer and include the latest estimated arrival date. We know those emails can't come soon enough. So for those who need to get off-road right now, we're offering priority access to our complimentary off-road driving experience, the Bronco Off-Roadeo. Register here. We'll also keep creating opportunities for you to experience these beasts in person in your local area, which you can learn more about through Bronco Nation here. We are deeply grateful for your undying love for this vehicle and we thank you again for bearing with us. We're going to get these Broncos out there, and we can't wait to see you out there. Doors off. Roof off. Way off of any paved surface. Sincerely, The Entire Bronco Team

The Bronco Sport OffRodeo email is just a little taste to the email from Ford which will state that due to hardtop issues, they are converting all hardtop orders to Bronco Sports.

Entry level temp job @ twice minimum wage, show up do your job get full time and you have got a great job. Why does everyone think they should start at the top of the pay scale? I had to pay my dues and learn my trade.

Michigan's minimum wage is actually $9.65, so its not twice the minimum wage and Federal minimum wage is absurdly low. crew members for landscapers get about $20 an hour in my state.

I’m aware of the 21MY promise, I’m just speculating on what’s coming.

That said, I’d accept a Ford (not Bestop) soft top if I had hard top wiring and a MIC top sent later, for my FE.

You didn’t speculate anything you asked a question.

My thoughts exactly.... congrats you're getting a Bronco.... bad news.... it's a sport.... but here's 20k Ford points so you can drown your sorrow with a new floor liner! Win, loss, win, you've come out ahead!

I have a feeling they are emailing everyone just to tell them my Bronco is on the way.

Dear @WyoBronc ,

We've all been waiting to get back to the wild for a long time now. You've been patient. And we thank you for that. And yes, we have your order in our system. And yes, we know you reserved your Bronco on the same night of reveal and you still don’t have VIN. We've been doing everything we can. Through the pandemic. Through unprecedented demand. Through supply-chain hurdles and countless other things you don't give a damn about. All you want is a Bronco. At this point you've received zero update on your order. These are due to the continued challenges of ramping up our hardtop roof supplier, which is causing shifts to the scheduling plan. And while we're investing millions of dollars to fix this issue, that investment won't materialize overnight. As your Bronco order progresses to production, we will alert you at every milestone. If you need to get off-road right now, we're offering priority access to our complimentary off-road driving experience, the Bronco Off-Roadeo. As you read this, the first Broncos are rolling off the production line and are on their way to customers across the country. We're going to get these Broncos out there, and we can't wait to see you out there. Doors off. Roof off. Way off any paved surface. p.s. don’t call 1-800 number! Sincerely, The Entire Bronco Team

It’s as if the message was tailored for me. Someone’s been reading my mail.

Hadn't seen this posted yet. Got it from my dealer even though I 99'd my order last week.

If it’s the same BS non apology apology us VIN holders have for being moved 5 times with no notice…..it’ll just piss people off more. Prepare yourselves.

 

[Brongo]

lmao, we need more models to go along with that
Base
Get Bent
Lacking Diamond
Order Banks
BadPlans
OffTrack
Fist Edition

Marketing genius!!!

Why do so many people care about minimum wage? If you want MORE than minimum wage the learn a skill! Work harder, do something another than expect it because minimum wage is so low (hence the name MINIMUM) You said it yourself, landscaping crews getting $20/hr. But then people will complain it's hard work, or too hot outside.

My email came early:

Whats the URL it takes you to when you Click Here for production status?

 

[JediMcMuffin]

I've kinda been guessing all week as I indicated in another thread that the production systems and supply management got janked forwards and reverse so much it totally broke their customer facing system which is why they silenced it. They're gonna get their data back in line over the next three weeks and then get the automation back in order.
