🛠 1/17/2022 Build week group

[Jeffiedean]

I've been wondering if maybe they're sitting because they want to wait for the train to be full before sending it out. But I have no idea how many vehicles fit on a train at any one time, so I could be way off base here.

Well mines coming via truck/trailer so I don't think that's it. My dealer told me they had a must ship by of Monday. I've now been without a car for a week because we sold our other die to the delivery date ford gave me.

Seems like they have stopped working on ours. Nobody getting built lately. Guess we’ve still got a long wait. We might just be the unluckiest b*stards around! as An aside, I called the 800 number and they gave me the $100 merch credit!

Here something a little of topic I want to share with my friends. Don’t take this wrong I love the bronco and I’m kinda old school. Love the pistons and combustion. But nonetheless this is the future. I am an engineer so there is a great appreciation from that stand point. Thus is simply amazing. Skip to when Elon talks if you want but it’s very entertaining and incredible

Tesla had their grand opening yesterday near around Rock, Tx. I drive by it when I go visit family & the building is massive. I won’t ever own an electric vehicle. Many reasons but one is they do not know what lasting adverse effects will happen to a person sitting on top of the battery for long periods of time. That may sound crazy but I’ll stick to gasoline power. Around 40% if electricity comes from coal & the environmentalist hate coal. One last comment is the batteries from the electric cars can’t be recycled and are awful for the environment. Just my take on it.

Anyone else think it’s a little nuts that we have been in production for almost 3 months?

Elementary school teacher here…

I have now had the dream that my past students have grown up and bought their own Broncos before my own Bronco comes. What do think that means?

Retired Secondary/pre U teacher here...... I have supply taught through most of the pandemic trying to help out but finally got sick. I have a limit to how many days I can do and am 3 from that now but can do all of May. I was treating myself to a Bronco.... foolish I know... So here I sit.... sick and very irritated for the extended wait.

I went over to check out the 4/4 thread. Just to see what was happening. Wow 64 pages! On page 64 of this thread we were all pretty much all positive vibes too. After 400 plus more pages, something happened to all those positive vibes. What could that have been? Oh yeah, none of us got our Broncos. Just another reason to stay off of the other build weeks. The only ones who understand what we have been through are the ones here in this thread.

1/24 build week checking in here ….. I feel your pain, you’re not alone!!!!

We got your back to 1/24. Our week and the 1st half of your week are the forgotten children.

Remember how we were all convinced that our Broncos were parked back in the far corner on Ice Mountain, and that's why we weren't getting picked to finish our builds?

Well now I'm convinced my "built" Bronco is sitting at the end of a long line of Broncos that are awaiting transport...

I'm already mentally preparing myself for them to move my EDD for the third time since I received my built email...

Ford really could give lessons on how to be an AHole to your customers.
New program “virtual tour” shows up when I check my status for the 10th time this morning.

interested, I check it out and immediately get told “Not for you, buddy”. Kinda like the Bronco itself I suppose. #fomocoshitshow

Some guy in that 4/4 group chastised me for bringing negative vibes.

Hope his Bronco falls off the truck/train…

Where are you seeing the change to EDD?

Mine has not changed from 4/15-4/21, but considering I’m still “awaiting shipment”, I know that window just isn’t possible.

Okay, this made me laugh out loud! Thanks!

It's changing on the backdoor tracker. Went from the original 3/31-4/6 that was in my built email (and the backdoor tracker) to the current 4/5-4/11 that's now showing on the backdoor tracker.

Officially waiting since 1am on 7/14/20. I remember frantically tapping "reserve" that night about 20 minutes into the release, thinking, "what the hell?" If only I knew. I told my oldest boy. "If they confirm they're makin this dang thing in a stick...we'll order it right now." Slow internet up here in the sticks, then Ford's site crashed. I was up late, but I got it through. Reservation #10151970...know it by heart. I'm taking delivery tomorrow, but the kids and I went to the dealership for a sneak peek. My salesman was off so we just snuck up there under the radar. It was in clean-up. What a sight. I could have had one earlier if I conceded some of the options. I did not settle and held out for every damn commodity constraint. MIC, tow, high package, PPF, manual. (rumored at times) I am really glad I did, it's so much better in person and exactly the way I wanted it. Pictures don't do these things justice...especially when it's finally yours. We got to go in and check it out, the lot guys were polite and excited as well. This was a pic my 11 year old took, it was our initial sighting. Tomorrow's the day.

Done. I think there will be another big movement on shipping next week. All the trucks and trains are probably delivering to dealerships this week. They've got to head back to MAP and load up again. There's bound to be some lag time due to the shortages in logistics nationwide. Hang in there fellow Ice Mountain fugitives, it's coming. I've felt all of the emotions. The good news is, the anger and frustration is immediately replaced with shock...when you see the interest rates now. We all got screwed, no doubt about it. But go enjoy those Broncos when you get 'em and make family memories every step along the way.
