PA has a grey area law. Notice it says “as Original equipment”
But the manufacturer manual says the doors are removable for road use.
Sounds like its up to the cops and you can fight it in court and most throw it out because it’s typically small town cops looking for action
There were ~ 150,000 reservations in the first week. And it looks like its about a 70% rate of people placing orders. So thats 102,000+ orders from first week reservations.
Those are orders. I forget the order % vs reservations. Theres a sizable difference especially once you factor in all the cancellations.
and as far as im aware walkins and dealer stock is fairly low of the overall percentage
114,000+ Built to date. Just over one year into production. There were roughly 150,000 orders. Meaning were only 76% of the way through the list. Meaning yes it could take another 6 months for most of the outstanding orders to be filled. Even if you ordered within the first week or 2.
Thing is Evs have been dramatically improving every year. People are looking at a 10 year old model S and comparing that to modern ICE. Even those are lasting 80-100k miles with 0 issues. And thats old tech. Most evs now have a 100-150k warranty. New batteries coming out now are expected to have...
1 range while towing will improve. Rivian isnt a good example.
2 once they get it to 300+ miles while towing will be enough. Because you really SHOULDNT drive that much with out a break.
3 charging will only take 40 minutes. Total trip even cross country will only take a few hours more done...
Exactly. Most of the cobalt free batteries materials come from america. And will increase as more demand is made.
tesla had a huge presentation on it in 2019 or 2020. America could be a self sufficient battery provider.
supply is only low Because of covid and mines havent ramped up yet. Plenty...
Ive always said ever since the EV trend kicked off, 1/2 ton trucks, sports cars and enthusiasts vehicles (Bronco) will have a ICE until they are made illegal by the EPA. Or the limits make it too hard.
yes there will be hybrid and EV versions, but a stand alone ICE will be available so long the...
Agree 100% but I understand why dealer allocation comes first. Because otherwise dealers would be waiting months on end for broncos cutting into their sales.
i think none of this would be a big deal if there wasnt a parts shortage. Then i think the gap between two deliveries would only be a...
Even if there was no constraints and no dealer issues. There would STILL be ~20,000 people waiting for their new broncos that reserved day 1.
and looking at our list we have on the site. Many were enthusiasts. Ie people like you ordering 2door, or sas, or badlands. Rather then the people that...
You ordered a Badlands, Sas, Lux MIC ALL of those options are delayed. As i said.
ford isnt going to cut production to 4000 just so they can build all the higher trim packages first they are going to build what they can.
They are just building what they can. What ever parts they have on hand. They arnt going to cut production down to 5000 just because they want to build higher trims. They want to build as many as possible per month.
Big dealers cried foul!
it makes sense on paper. In a perfect world every dealer would have the same percent of bronco orders vs sales.
the problem comes in with the parts shortage as well as some dealers getting alot of orders.
Say a big dealer will get 200 broncos and smaller dealers gets...
Dealer allocation is your issue.
Each dealer has their own list.
so 1 if your a day 3 order but your dealer has mostly 1-2 day orders your towards the end of the line. Vs another dealer that doesnt have alot of early orders but alot of late orders. They will get theirs first.
2 dealer...
most dealers are likely close to filling 2022 models allocations (based on orders) but delivery is the issue. Parts and chip shortages. Causing people to cut in line by ordering simpler builds.
first day alone Is 70,000+ orders. Chip shortage is making it hard to build some broncos. Theres a lot of THOUSANDS of broncos needing chips. As soon as those come in big supply they will start pumping them out.
they arnt going to stop producing the other broncos because someone else “ahead in...
