165k Reservations might be the 2021 cut off and a tall order to fulfill.

[BroncBro]

Based on MAP's production capacity of 65 units an hour, and them going to a 60% Bronco mix once production ramps up, the theroretical maximum they could build per week is 5460. Thats
30 weeks to build 165k units without any production hiccups.
By the time the MY '21 Bronco starts hitting driveways, I imagine the Ranger side of production will be getting ready for MY '22. I forsee MY '21 Bronco being a short production year to get it aligned with the rest of the overall lineup of MY changeover in the summer.

My guess Is they will receive a total of about 90,000 orders in December. And I feel like I’m being optimistic with that number.
I’m just going by stuff I’ve read on the Internet from people in the automotive business and what a few dealerships have told me what their predictions are.

They don't know how many cancellations they'll have so they have to say 2022 to cover themselves in the event more people follow through with an order than the company expects.

I believe that people in that 165K number who actually place an order will get their Bronco next spring. After all, we just floated Ford a 0% interest, $16.5M loan.

Actually if I'm correct your 100 bucks went to the dealer you listed your reservation through, I know mine did

It'd take 17 weeks to build that many orders, God willing and the creek don't rise.

A perfect production model launch on March 1 (May 1 ?) would put January orders being built around the end of June (August).

I wonder what the cruel reality will be though? I'm sure issues will arise to slow/stall things at some point.

A shout out to you tradesmen at MAP; Get that tooling online guys! We're waiting!

Sadly I'm not sure we can equate any numbers in terms of production volume based on any models that they're currently running. Yeah with the Ranger line there's something, but we don't know how much they will plan to split production between the two programs, or how much more complex the Bronco is to build than the Ranger. If I don't get my order in 2021 though, I might just wait another year or two just to see how things play out with new models like the potential Raptor/Warthog/whatever they call it.

Hopefully I'm among the 1st 165k, did order it around 9 something pm opening night

My supervisor has a friend that works the assembly line at Ford. She was going to retire until the Bronco was being brought back. I don't know if they get a special deal working at Ford, I would assume so. If I get any inside info (time line) from her I'll pass it on.

My dealer said orders begin Mar 2021. I'm curious as too how long it'll be from order to delivery. If December 2020 is start of ordering and production begins June 2021, I'm guessing December/January orders will take delivery around Aug/Sep 2021? So maybe November/December 2021 for March orders. What do you think? Just trying to pick some brains.

Delivery is expected in Spring, not production. All orders are in December

The articles I have been reading all same similar time frames. Dealer blast email said orders for them begin Mar 2021.

"Ford plans to begin Bronco production next spring, with the first deliveries starting in June 2021."

I don't see any data on the web for Ford, but Tesla's Model3 was popular where early adapters stood in a physical line to make a reservation. Here is the data below.

One takeaway from this is as time progresses, interest is lost. So, I am sure Ford won't disclose how many refunds they've issued, but this is consumers behaviors. Model3 and Bronco can't be compared, but the consumers behavior can. Just like Bronco die hard fans, Tesla has those too.

Here is the link to the article: https://electrek.co/2018/06/04/tesla-model-3-reservations-refunded-report/

Just wanted to add some insight here. That's all.

As a GM employee working 6 days a week 9 hour days, the rona ain’t stopping shit ???

 

[Bronco4lyfe85]

We already have the list and as of November 1 other than cancellations it will be locked...

Should be able to put them in WBDO making them ready for Ford to pick up....

We could not do all of them in 5 days working 24 hours per day...

But you’re Granger Ford, Albert. Not everyone will have the same orders as you do lol. With the way some of these dealers are they may only have a handful.

 

[Bronco4lyfe85]

I dunno, I’ve read this whole thread, I have no idea why.

Here’s my take: the vehicle will be made eventually. My vehicle will be assembled eventually and will eventually be in my garage.

So yeah, eventually. ?‍ I don’t ‘need’ the vehicle so whenever it comes it comes. There will never be a cheaper time to own a Bronco then when it first releases and a dealer is offering under invoice deals. If it’s July 2022, I will just end up putting another 5K down.

Its good you have patience and the luxury of time to wait. Some of us don't. I know for me I need a vehicle ASAP.

With all things in life, patience is a virtue. Everything will work out in the end so you might as well just enjoy your life stress free until than.
