You make absolutely 0 profit or revenue off of something sitting in a lot. Shareholders, who are the owners of the company do not like that. Even if it costs money they can ship them all out and replace them over time, but the cost of having that much revenue sitting around not being sold by the end of the year is not good.

I wonder what the cost difference is, if any, to ship 2.0 as replacements for delivered 1.0s for cars that were within convoy shipping distance versus rail?

To me the top is really just another accessory, not necessarily an integral part to the truck.

I have builds that were scheduled for 9/27 that are now pushed back to 11/15. I'd imagine that we will see another email by the end of this week explaining another delay. I genuinely feel bad for these individuals who switched to a soft top, thinking it would finally give them the ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel, only for that light to move further and further away.

The worst part about this is that I don't see if getting any better any time soon. If Ford is already at the week of 11/15 there isn't many weeks left to fill before the 22MY changeover. Ford is stating that MIC 2.0 tops for delivered Broncos won't be available until some time in Q4, which leads me to believe that they have no idea when it will be ready.

I'd imagine that right now the Bronco team is having a meeting to discuss the next steps forward, and I would imagine that shipping the 3,000+ Broncos on Dirt Mountain with MIC 1.0 is looking more and more appealing by the day.
Just curious, I’m also a 9/27 build week. Of mine is pushed back, will Ford email me direct, or do i need to reach out to my dealer to find this info out?
Thanks!

Ford may not email you with a build date change. The best way to know where you are currently at is to contact your dealer and ask them to pull vehicle visibility on your order. It should give them an up-to-date status for your order.

I kind of agree with you, like it doesn't matter to me whether I get a soft top or a hard top knowing I can change it. But then again it IS essential to keeping the elements out of the interior and that IS critical.

Yes, but the part keeping the elements out is just another accessory, like having different wheels or a cool grill. Having a top is very important, just which top depends on the time of year and your mood!
