[PrepVet]

As has been said. Nothing new but at least Ford said something so hopefully the entitled princesses here will shut up.

Dealer contacted me today and said Ford called and extended selection for one more week. If I don't get picked next week then I'll be pushed to a MY22 for sure. With all the craziness going on there is no way to know what to believe. Feels like we are just being pushed into waiting so we don't start giving up our orders. I'll give it one more week before I start looking for something else.

“Hey, this problem we announced a couple of months ago... yea, we’re no closer to solving it now as we were then. Tough shit. Suck it up buttercup.”

you mean, you already knew the roof leaks??

Everybody has known about the delays in the hard tops for a few months now.

Maybe Ford should just import the tops or move their top manufacturing to somewhere else. Seems Detroit’s not really working out for them.

When did you reserve? Just curious because I have that same build, plus switches.

I have Aux switches too, 7/17 pushed to priority

I didn’t get the email above, anyone else in the same boat?

Hi,
Yes. I had been anticipating it, and did not get one. So, I emailed my dealer. He said I did not get on because I have been assigned a vin and production date in July. I was surprised. I even went into my ford.com account and checked there... nothing new just states order submitted. I can say that I have a really early res time. I ordered 6 cyl with SAS and hard top. A week or two ago I changed it to soft top basis what I read here... and it seemed to have worked

 

[jdvz411]

I still have to reserve, I want a base 2.3 with a soft top looks like I might be able to jump to the head of the class!!

I've heard they aren't taking any more reservations right now.

So the email clearly states hardtops are the issue.
I’m a July 29 reservation. I know that’s way late.
But I’m a soft top only 4 door
According to the email I got earlier today it should make it to where I get mine faster. Was assuming I’d be 22, but now I’m thinking I’m 21.
Correct?

That's my thought too. At least I hope that's the case.

I'm not sure where people are getting this idea, but Tesla isn't killing it on profit per car, in fact without the regulatory credits that Tesla sells to other car companies they'd still be posting massive losses each quarter. As all of the major manufacturers start to sell EVs themselves, those Tesla credits will be worth less and less, and they'll revert to posting large losses each quarter. Also, every time I see something about Tesla's margins it's using non-GAAP accounting and includes the revenue from the regulatory credits (which will disappear in 5-10 years). Here is a much more accurate analysis of Tesla's actual margins. https://stockdividendscreener.com/a...tomotive-revenue-and-gross-margin-comparison/

You are 100% correct. You’d be surprised at their actual numbers. Ask me about the Cybertruck No don’t, let’s talk about the Bronco. Tesla has its own place to discuss.

No email here and a little nervous about it. July 14 reservation but 2 door hardtop.

Well I decided I’m back in the market for a Bronco. But I have a new way to get one. I told my dealership to call me immediately if someone doesnt their badlands or FE order. From what I understand I might have a bite already. And it’s scheduled. Easy way to get to the front

Not really. Horseshit has substance to it. This email has no substance.

I was hoping someone would get the pun.

Horse... Bronco.......

It’s not like Webasto staged a coup and forced Ford to contract them to make tops or else. That decision goes to Fords judgement at a minimum for not doing their due diligence, or at least failing to have a back up plan until it’s too late. Failing to plan is planning to fail, and the buck stops at the blue oval.

This has become the trend for Ford of late, and they do not deserve a pass or us wonderfully loyal customers. They deserve all the scorn they get. They eff’d up the bull bar by blocking the bronco lettering....had to scrap their entire stock and start over (gee we didn’t think to ask anyone if they wanted to see the Bronco letters). They contrived and implemented their sneaky priority order scheme....doling out thousands of constrained items to Johnny come lately line jumpers (not their fault) at the expense of us early reservation holders who are now left holding our proverbial dicks, babbling on incessantly about timestamps, and allocation rankings, and fairness, and lies.

They implemented dealer allocations, and VIP orders, and offered no 2dr or WT soft top option......let me say this one again because it’s a super special kind of stupidity that ought to end up in the stupidity hall of fame.....Ford is forcing customers to a soft top option which isn’t even an option for probably 35-40% (WT and 2dr) of their orders.

On a more positive note they ought to be flush with winches......I’ll bet they have a fuckload of them since they, in all their glorious wisdom, managed to locate the winch in such a manner as to render ACC and trail cams useless so you had to pick or choose if you wanted a winch or the most popular high or Lux pkgs.......brilliant engineering feat their boys.

This is getting way too long and I haven’t even gotten to mod tops, which in effect jump started the MIC top shortage......or dual tops, or PPF, or roof racks.

This current group of Ford ass hats couldn’t run a Turkish whore house, let alone a car company. And they can stick their Off Roadeo appeasement boondoggle where the sun don’t shine....I would rather have a root canal.

Now, come on Thursday......Daddy needs a new Bronco.

Building vehicles has to be a logistical nightmare, especially with whats been going on in the world the past year and a half. You pull out the wrong Jenna piece and it all falls down, just like a supply chain problem. Y

I don't know about anyone else, but my dealership wanted a $500 deposit on top of the $100 deposit from the reservation. However, I was one of the lucky ones that got a build date yesterday so I'm obviously not requesting a refund.

Woot woot! What’s your build?

 

[PatientlyWaiting]

Well, my dealership called me and asked if I wanted to change my order. Literally the first time they have ever contacted me. I’m on the fence about whether to change to the four door and add soft top or stick with the two door.

I’m on the fence too. Do I downgrade to an obx or something

Well I decided I’m back in the market for a Bronco. But I have a new way to get one. I told my dealership to call me immediately if someone doesnt their badlands or FE order. From what I understand I might have a bite already. And it’s scheduled. Easy way to get to the front

and you’ll pay $10 - $15 grand more
