8/2 Bronco Scheduling Cancelled - Again!

[jaspercasidino]

Not gonna lie, after driving some Broncos this weekend and seeing all the weeks that were supposed to get scheduled this week, I got excited and was looking forward to Thursday. You got me Ford. You got me real good.

Good grief people you can always buy a vehicle off the lot like 99% of other vehicles. If you want to make a reservation for the latest and greatest and widely popular model that isn't in production be prepared to wait. I knew damn well it would probably be 2022 when I made my reservation last July.

Cue the apologists

Might have something to do with us being FE's. The FE's HAVE to be done this year and if they can only get so many hardtops, they may be focusing on only building FE's for now and not handing out more VINs..? Idk.

My build date is next week, 8/9. I haven't received any notice of a change (and hopefully I won't).

Who says FE's has to been this year.... they said all FE's are 2021.... didn't say you would get them in 2021...

Well.... Did we really expect any different?



Don't forget though everyone... we get a video from the peeps at MAP this week!!!

Ford needs to fire their planners. This isn’t even funny anymore it’s just bad. I’m a manufacturing engineer, and I was in production control for a different major automaker. I was heavily involved in the launch of a totally new platform and understand the complexities involved with it. I understand delays, but this is like not a single person in the entire supply chain did any due diligence at all.

Where did they get their data for forecasting?

I really don't understand why they keep changing their mind from the Friday scheduling plan to the Monday update. Pretty bizarre. But it is honestly not a big deal until August 30th and the plant opens with no Bronco's to scheduled to be built, which won't happen.

But, it looks incompetent at best. Incredible to witness how much could seemingly go wrong with this.

I have the perfect gif!

The only thing ford cares about is the f-series trucks.

All 30K+ parked at the Kentucky Speedway.

Maverick is a lot simpler of a product, in a different plant, and using existing architecture

Ford got too ambitious with the Bronco, 7 trims, three drivetrain configs, three roof options (two door hardtop, four door hardtop, four door soft top), two body styles, 11ty different interiors, 4 different configuration packages (standard, mid, high, lux) on a new platform. Not sure who thought launching so complex would be easy

Maverick is one body config, no separate roof vendor, three trims, sparse options and color choices in comparison, much simpler tech throughout, on the existing C2 platform.

Can't blame Ford for launching multiple product lines at once, a lot of the Bronco workforce doesn't touch the Maverick line, and visa versa

Balu, stop it now, just stop it. I want to be pissed, and here you come along with a sensical post. Don't ever do that again, Otay................

Another week, another delay.

What. A. Fucking. Joke. Imagine not being on this forum? You'd likely have no clue what was happening with your reservation/order.

They were supposed to schedule FEs this week.

Lol, true. I still stand by my statement.
Ford would be out of business if the f-series fails.

Kinda glad this makes it more likely I get a 22

True lol. They thought about it in 2021, so it's a 2021, right..? Even if I take delivery in 2025?

Apparently not the reservation or order banks, and not B&P configurations either.
