I think cars sitting for months isn't that strange. Most new cars, in normal times, set 2-3 months on the lot. It's just that now there is a vehicle that many people want and it's right there built, but we can't get it.
I am sure this parked capital is driving the bean counters insane! As a Bronco owner, I feel for all those buyers who have their Broncos gathering dust on that lot. I wonder though, how often did Ford have to park vehicles like this. I am sure there are lots at all assembly plants where vehicles are parked waiting to be loaded on trains and car carriers. Can someone from MAP inform the rest of us how often these lots were used for long term storage pre-COVID and pre-Chip shortage?
Sone are also in old Ypsilanti plant parking lot on 94
I totally agree!!
Same here!!!!
When the time comes, have them change the Priority Code to 99 which means it won't get scheduled. Have them take it off of 99 once the order banks open for 2023. Not sure how that would impact any price protection.
There are people who have been waiting months longer than you.Mine built 4/6, too. Updated ETA is end of July. Ordered 3/2021. Bored with it now
I didn’t even think about that…. Yes my price is locked in and is $2000 less than now, but getting a 22’ at the end of 22’ I’m sure that would barely cover depreciation of it as the 23s roll out.
Still a long time to be waiting, regardless. Person not supposed to be upset with a 1y+ wait? Seems a bit gatekeep-y on who can be "upset" since there are 2020 rsvps still waiting. Having empathy for both parties is not mutually exclusive.
