Strongly disagree.

No one held a gun to Mr. Levines head and told him to come out with his Aug. 2nd Twitter post about "By September at the latest". We can talk semantics and "manager speak" until the cows come home, and some of us have in this forum. He chose not to clarify what he meant, and he was asked countless times by countless people on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. His position affords him a certain level of responsibility for the words he post, he knew what he was doing. A person in his position knows that. Now that it's clear he didn't mean before September I personally know to take anything he says with a large grain of salt.

The Bronco was originally slated to be revealed early Spring 2020, are you really going to try to convince me that if Covid 19 didn't happen we'd still be looking at a Sept. B&P? I strongly doubt that. The B&P can be worked on from home, it's not affected by Covid 19. I have no problem with B&P being released at any month, but when the North American Product Communication Manager says something I expect there to be truth behind it. Not vagaries, smoke and mirrors and half truths when asked to clarify.

I keep going back to a post by @sjp because it sums it up really well.

Again, I have no beef personally with Mr. Levine, it's with his refusal to clarify when asked countless times when it's your job to communicate. And to say "maybe Ford wouldn't let him" is a cop out. He should never have given us a month to begin with if that's the case. At this point, I wish he never stated "by September at the latest" to begin with. It's just caused a lot of people a lot of frustration and disappointment.

Great post with fair points, thank you.

For anyone that hopes to have their message seen directly by Mike Levine, since he is a registered member here at Bronco6g, just give him a shout-out @mike_at_ford

As long as it’s up by the 30th i’m happy. I’m getting my wisdom teeth pulled so I can sit at home for 5 straight days and reconfigure my Bronco 3,000 times.
5 days? They cut and pulled out all 4 of my wisdom teeth with pliers while I watched in basic training back in 2001. They let me stay that night in medical and I was back to it getting my ass beat the next morning.

While I welcome new members, I find it ridiculous that they try to enlighten us on forum history and think they are reporting a breaking news story.

This is especially true when it was such as widely seen thread, you know, the one with 94,101 views, starting on Jul 16, 2020, with 29 pages and 424 posts?

And for some reason, us rabid Bronco fans missed the fact that "people are really hyped for this car".

Next thing you know, some idiot is going to try and tell us that BY SEPTEMBER means anytime before October 1. What is this world coming to?

Pliers? My dentist is going to use a bull and string and send him running to pull mine, you took the easy way out.

Also yeah, I have weekends off and get sick days I can use so might as well use them and get paid to sit at home and work on projects.

As good ol Jim Mora would say if he worked for Ford:

" What’s that? Ah - Build and Price ? Don’t talk about Build and Price? You kidding me? Build and Price? I just hope we can can build it one day!

So exciting!!! Not the immanent release of the B&P tool (whenever that is going to be), but the approach of 150 pages!!!!

am I on page 150 yet? - (obligatory "point" - 'September at the latest' includes the connotation that it could be earlier than September, so therefore there is ZERO evidence that suggests he meant the END of September)

I don't know folks but when I saw they sent out the targeted B&P pricing poll emails, the first thing I thought was they are no where near finalizing the pricing. We can't seriously expect them to take that information and make a final decision in pricing within one week to two weeks.
