Broncos scheduling this week 5/20

[DryYourTears]

Are you in Supply chain right now? Because I am and work in the automotive/ Powersports/ motorcycle industry and there is no way. The resin that's being used at Webasto has been on allocation since the beginning of the year. You cant say this falls on ford when half the world declares force majeure....

1) It's easy to be really chill when you have the earliest possible production week.

2) Is it a resin supply issue? Most of the talk is quality control issues. Maybe both? If it's resin, how is Jeep still getting hard tops? Maybe some communications that aren't just mysterious notes to the dealers would be helpful here, as well?

3) I got the hell out of automotive.

I put $32,500 down and I am NOT a VIP order. So how does that play into all of this discussion?

So question, and maybe it was already answered here, but with the email that I received in April stating that all orders should know their tentative build date in May (dont quote me) was all BS? We literally have 2 weeks remaining in May.

Delays aren't ford's fault.... People need to chill

Perhaps. But the messaging, Priority orders, and allocations certainly are.

Im just assuming its a resin issue. I know the molded covers we make for our head lights / bezels use a ton of resin. So its just an assumption. I also know the ports are backed up over a month/ air freight is backed up at least a week.

Here’s hoping I get an email this week. I decided to drop the tow package from my FE to see if that would help me out.

And just to rub it in to the folks that can’t get a response from their dealer: it took 12 minutes to get an updated build sheet back after emailing them with the request to drop the tow package.

On a 2-door First Edition the number 1 item that would hold your order up will be the MIC hard top. If I were you I’d keep the tow package.

 

[WyoBronc]

I have to make sure you’re all focused and paying attention.

Yes. And you like beer.

Raven dropped me a note.

I'm assuming the raven was from Maester Aemon because he clearly was in charge of interior design for the Bronco.

This is some of the Deepest Ford Blue Kool-Aideiest of Kool Aide posts I've seen around here, and that's really saying something. I think Jim Farley could slap you in the face and you'd thank him and ask for another.

Delays after delays plus "priority builds" and finding out reservation timestamp means far less than they said at the beginning. People have solid reasons to be at least a bit upset.

Easy for him to tell us to chill since @Cheshire already has a VIN

I can see these first units being sold for $10-$15k over MSRP with 10k miles in a few months.

Has anyone wondered, or answered: where are the FE builds going for the people who reserved a FE and bailed because of the Navy Pier, mod roof, tow package, or some other missed promise/probable delay? They took 7000 reservations, then closed the window, right? Then, say 500 went with a different trim (like me), yet it looks like they are making 7,000+...who's getting them?
