Bronco production update 8/9: Commodity issues far beyond MIC tops. Chip shortage reaches Bronco supply chain (NO COVID TALK)

[navi]

But we never got Built emails!
At least I didn’t!
Produced and parked! 41 days!

For sure... I'm a 6/29
The only ones getting shipped are the recent builds I guess.

I like hearing new information out here and I’m not calling anyone liars but, it’s threads like these that are the problem. We are left with anonymous sources, speculation, and best guesses. If it’s going to be October or November before I see it fine. Just tell me.

Hopefully oldest first!!!

Seeing how things have gone with this launch so far... "Last in, First out".

They've been fired from the MOD Tops, if they were removed immediately all manufacturing would stop... And then it would be 0 Broncos because manufacturing doesn't spin up that quickly.

As far as I’ve been told Webasto was told to make 12000 more tops and that’s it. I wasn’t suggesting that the relationship ended immediately. But once those tops are done then that’s it, hence why they’re unlikely to produce anything other than FE’s for the rest of 2021..
As far as those being built 8/9 etc, the decision would take time to flow through the line I would imagine??

It's me. I'm in the know.

Got to agree there, I bet 22 models get here before mine.

If this is true then FORD should tell us. Switching this late in the game to a new top vendor could delay many of us another 9-12 months (or longer). This is my own personal complaint.....lack of facts and communication from FORD. FORD....give us the hard truth no matter how painful. STOP stringing us along. Long term and loyal Ford customer)

So 7000 FEs and 5000 2/4dr MIC or do you mean all tops? Because all tops would be catastrophic and them having produced 6k Broncos so far would mean that's it.

I could see 12,000 more good MIC tops being the target for MY21 production.

Love the smart ass remark. Maybe, just maybe I am afraid of the trade in value of my tacoma going down?

I equally enjoy "dumbass comments"!

Except he is mostly correct kiddo.

You mean ALMOST?

While exiting the Webasto shit show makes complete sense. How the hell do you deliver from there without radical compromise solutions? Not enough people bit on the "soft top with connections and unknown cost of future hard top", so I guess if you were figuring on the replacement cost for most of the Webasto roofs, then compromise solutions start to look like the less costly avenue.

Band camp ain't no joke.

What happens in Band Camp.....well you know the rest. Been there, done that, had a ball.

 

[SpringTXOR]

I say schedule no more hard tops and fix the ones they have first. It's only fair.
