Somewhere to put the bodies. Jimmy Hoffa you know...they added more freezers
the plant is a shared platform assembly line as there isnt a dedicated Bronco line, so its done in dedicated shifts per vehicle line.I'm confused but I don't understand manufacturing.
This pretty much sums up 50% of my experience on this forum. People up in arms over rumors of things, things that might happen or things that have happened that have no real effect on a vehicle that is not even going to be sold for seven more months from now.The thing that gets me in all that Ford "Double talk" is this line:
...…..."and what we’ve promised to customers that are really chomping at the bit to place their orders early next year".
Wrong, WRONG SIR/madam/whoever the hell you are....we are chomping at the bit to place our orders on DECEMBER 7th...NOT early next year, which could literally mean through March, which means we won't see our trucks until maybe September.
For the love of PETE...either this truck is ready to build or it's not. SHIT or get off the pot FORD...start making these Bronco's or come clean that you're not as prepared as you thought.
My God, they can put a man on the Moon (obviously FORD can't put a man on the moon or a colored roof on a Bronco, for that matter but someone else sure can).......
Here's the thing, though. The only date I care about is the date I get my Bronco. If Ford could get me my Bronco the very next day after ordering, I wouldn't care if they waited to take my order the day before. It seems to me like December, January, February doesn't really matter for building vehicles in April or May and delivering in June. I withhold my gripes until Ford says deliveries will be delayed.Someone tell them to update the website then.
Is this another case of "we missed yet another date we've been telling our customer base but now let's take another sh*t on everyone's goodwill and enthusiasm by slowly 'leaking' a new date to some place like Bronco Nation"?
Or do people placing their order in December have the option to update when all the options are updated?
Sigh lemme have some coffee first.
Thanks Dad.COVID.....Don't kid yourselves this is a big deal in the supply chain and industries all over are being affected right now with being unable to get product to complete builds, whether it be vehicles, buildings, whatever.
Think about all the different components that make up a Bronco, and it's 200 accessories. All it takes is one worker to test positive, and that particular component manufacturer could be shut down for weeks, delaying production by months.
So if Ford is delayed by a month or two, I would completely understand why.
I want my Bronco as soon as possible, and have been waiting for this vehicle for years. I can guarantee I won't even been thinking of the extra months I had to wait when I'm cruising in it, top off, on a sunny day.
Be patient and understanding and stop stressing so much about 1st world problems.
My comments were not meant to be directed at you personally. It was a general comment (not a lecture) on the state of the world and how business, people, etc, and lives in general, are all being affected by COVID. You just happened to mention COVID in your thread, so I responded.Thanks Dad.
I always wanted an internet stranger to give me a lecture on how my concerns are not valid. I happen to think having transportation to my essential employment is extremely important whether you do or not. Have a pleasant evening.
dude, you're making too much sense. that doesn't fly in today's climate.This post will just get people in a lather.
There's nothing definitive here. I wouldn't worry about anything right now.
It's even less than "definitive"; there isn't even a legitimate reason to speculate that it will be delayed. To opine that it "may be delayed" is ludicrous...it's like saying "Bronco may not be produced". Ok. Ford could cancel it, but there is no reason to think they will. Same exact thing here. A lot of drama queens on here...This post will just get people in a lather.
