Delivery delay emails have arrived [8/13]

[Five-O Donut Hole]

Got mine too. Man I was ready for it, but still stings reading those words. Especially when they go on and on about how great the soft top is...except for 2 door. But it's their product, I'm just along for the ride.

yes the 2-doors, and…..the damn Wildtraks

So you didn't get this email either? When was your build date?
I just called Ford Canada to ask, they told me to talk to my dealer. My dealer doesn't know anything more then I do, which I know because it's my husband. All his information still says mine was built on July 15th and should have been here the week of the 19th of July.

Naaa I got nothin. Mine's been bumped A LOT of times since I got my vin in may and my original build date of june14. I've never gotten good news from my dealer and now I know I won't hear anything else till Oct anyways. It only Friggen mid Aug. Ugh. Lol

Ok @Ford Motor Company

You are getting better ever so slightly. Communication is key. Keep it coming and please expedite the MY22 B&P for the 150K+ of us that will be kicked out of MY21. Those updates can come even if pricing is not yet available. Just shows us the colors that are guaranteed and those that are TBD. Show us the heritage concept.... better yet, do a short release video of the heritage edition. give us something for which to be excited!!! thanks for the comms!

just got the same email - fun times.

Good lord some of you guys are fast

Love the bit about being sent exclusive gear. I've received a whole lot of NOTHING.

Yeah. “Unless your purchase was through Ford of Canada, in which case, shut up and wait. No Shwag for you!”

They offered you sooner delivery with a soft top. If you didn't take the deal, then don't be TOO upset about it.

What does "ordering with dealer" mean? Mine says that too. I was told by my dealer my FE would be scheduled this coming week for delivery in September. Obviously not!

So Ford is going to replace *all* 4d and 2d bad roofs before they restart building any new Broncos, FE or otherwise? Can't possibly happen for delivery in 2021- am I missing something?

 

[2021badlands bronco bob]

Me too! Not a map or sticker or anything! What the hell @Ford Motor Company ? Who can I call or email to find out why?

Why? Let me help you they ( Ford ) screwed up big time . At least they finally admitted it now we move on or out.

When I clicked on "here" for more information it sent me to Ford's site and questionnaire popped up.
I'll just say they didn't get an awesome review.

Gots mines. Was really hoping they would say they wrapped it in bubble wrap and laid a bunch of rat traps around it....didn't though damn it. Just a few moth balls thrown inside woulda been a nice touch. Can't have shit I tell ya!

It’s nothing ur missing. Sent me a damn poster and sticker a couple weeks ago. Lol

 

[Kekov721]

Got mine and to be honest. I'm somewhat relieved. I was an October reservation to begin with and knew this was coming, Don't need my ride until next summer anyway. Let Ford figure out their shit, get me the functional vehicle I ordered, and send me some shit every month while I wait. Ill take it.

[grayshadow]

[mpeugeot]

Ya, I got nothing... as usual, thanks Ford... no respect despite being the self-appointed King of Dirt Mountain.

Ordering with Dealer means the dealership has submitted your order to be built.
I hear there are green and red dots. Best I can figure on those is the green ones were ordered before a certain date and red was after (considering the code behind it uses 'before' and 'after' tags).

The way I understand it from all the threads combined:
1. Ford had to redesign the top.
2. The redesign requires retooling the production line for tops and this will take a few weeks, plus time to QA test the new design before they go into full production.
3: First Edition trims will get the new design tops first then get shipped. FE is MY21 only, and the window is closing. With this delay putting them so late in the year, they have to get them out to meet their commitment to FE being only on MY21 models.
4. Then those in "Parking Lot Purgatory" waiting on replacement tops get them next and get shipped.
5. Then extra tops will be made and set aside to be shipped to dealerships to replace tops on those who already got their hardtop Broncos.
6. Then tops will go toward MY22 hardtop configurations.

So, FE first, Purgatory second, existing customer replacements third, MY22 fourth.
