🛠 8/2/21 build Week Thread

[Godot75]

Scarsdale Ford (NY) has no idea why my soft top is stuck in In Production purgatory. Blend 7/23, Build 8/2. No update or email 6/26. Yeah, 6/26. One more time: 6/26.

You may have heard some of this but just to confirm: The color is better in person. The 2.7 kicks ass. Ride is smooth. Soft Top is not an issue as far as noise level if you ever have driven a soft top. I'll post some more in a day or two once I get some time with it.
Thank You to all the BG6 members for the info, laughs and insight.

I just called Ford about my 8/2 build date (previously 7/19 and 6/20). They had no idea what was going on. You could send a kindergarten class over there and things would run smoother. She tells me it was built on 8/2. LOL. Really? Ok, I'll believe you...what else can you tell me? Nothing. When's it shipping? I don't know. Where is it? I don't know. When's the website gonna update? No idea. Is my situation normal or abnormal. Couldn't say.

On the one hand, I'm more frustrated now than ever. On the other hand, a small part of me wonders if my call initiates some movement. Highly unlikely, but sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

It appears to be a shit show. My dealer is telling me Ford is being tight lipped about everything right now. These dealers are starting to get pissed off.

Can't really blame the dealers for being a little unhappy with the way that Ford has being handling the situation. If they had a competent director of communications, this wouldn't be the mess that it has become. To make matters worse, the people on the support line are being forced to say things that aren't accurate and that's just adding to the confusion.

Imagine being a dealer or on the support line and saying that chips are the problem and telling you that your vehicle is "still in production". You then kindly ask them,

How come PTS shows my vehicle being built with complete AsBuilt data and is running sync4 V4.0.21091 last updated on 5 Aug 2021?

How did all the modules get programmed if you are missing chips?

Which chip did you say was missing?

All the time they are left looking stupid and trying to read from a script. It's sad.

So I suppose I have some encouraging news. My wife just called our dealer, one of the transparent B6G offers, for a 3-week update. He just confirmed my baby has been built, though all my stuff says in production. Then went on to say that it is waiting on transportation. He said lots of vehicles are in the same boat waiting for transport and if I don't see movement in two weeks, to check back.

You're a soft-top?

I'm a MIC, so obviously not going anywhere before October, but when I check palsapp.com my shipping shows pending also.

Both ford.com and the FordPass app show it for me.

Edit: no top on the pizza tracker

Welp I hope that doesn't mean what I think it may mean.

Also as posted here ( https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/possible-new-b-p-top-options.22574/#post-802805) with possible new soft top maybe.... Just mayyybbeee they scrapped the St and we are all getting new ones?

dafuq - had an 8/6 blend, was in production, then I had the build date, and 15 days for shipping... now I have no top also. This is getting ridiculous
