Morning folks,

I have a direct highly placed source that gave me an update on my Bronco (original Build date late July).

My Bronco has been built and they were waiting on the chips that have now been received. I have a VIN and "build date" of 8/16 in the system.

Copy and pasting the text messages here.

Not posting the screenshots due to not wanting to get anyone in trouble. Anyone who questions this post is welcome to private message me for a call. This source is a family member.

I feel that this is good news and updates will probably be coming soon for the Summer batch.

The latest news I have is your Bronco was built in July and was waiting for a semi-conductor chip. Chips have arrived, so your Bronco may have been tested and shipped. More news later.

2nd text message
Michigan Assembly won’t declare your car built until the parts they were waiting for are installed and the vehicle tested. More news later.

Your original production week was in July and it was changed to 8/16? Or did you have the window sticker and know the actual production date?

Yep. It was changed to 8/6. Then 8/16.

No window sticker yet. Since the chips are in, I'm thinking (IMO) there will be an update on deliveries soon. Promise little and over deliver. I thinks that's the game plan.

I've had the exact same delays. 7/26 -> 8/9 -> 8/16. Two-door, 2.3, manual, BB. I hope you're correct!

And why is it sooooo hard for them to freakin' just tell us that? I'll love my Bronco, but Ford is a freakin' nightmare and everyone in communications should be taken out and....fired. Behind the barn. Now.

So what exactly was the order tracking showing for you?
when you say "in the system" how do you mean? was it displaying on the order tracking page?

Would explain why we're seeing so many 2 Doors pushed from late June and mid July to 8/16 build dates.

Attached. This is why I'm saying don't trust it. I have confirmation that it has been built.

I'm a husband, father of 2, law student with a full time job. No time to make an account just to get on here and troll people I don't know.
