Point taken, GotWake. But from everything I've read from buyers, the majority of their frustration doesn't stem from impatience (although some does). It comes largely from Ford's lack of communication or communicating incorrect information. Right or wrong, people have been making plans based upon EDDs (selling vehicles, applying for loans, etc.). Also, there is no one "DEMANDING" Ford does anything. I think we all know full well that they are in complete control, but that doesn't mean we can't share our viewpoint on how they can improve our experience, right? Afterall, we're the customer and if they don't listen to us, at some point they'll be without us. I understand why Ford doesn't jump on these forums and discuss their decision making. Decisions like why they have prioritized the vehicles on the production lines over those that have been parked for months. I'm certain they have a perfectly reasonable explanation about how it will cost them substantially more to halt production to allocate chips to Dirt Mountain rather than complete the one that's on the line and they don't want to put up with the aggravation of responding to people in this forum. My suggestions were more about communication to individuals about their particular vehicle production. It has been poor at best and they have options to mend fences with loyal customers that are beginning to turn their backs on a brand they held in high regard. I don't hold out much hope that these suggestions are being reviewed by Ford, but writing them was cathartic.
Lastly, the formula shortage had absolutely nothing to do with supply chain issues. That was a disaster caused by Brandon and his buddies.
There not going to have problem with customers. Sure some might decide to buy something else, another will be there to take his/her place. This vehicle is pretty much a luxury item. Not many people need to have this vehicle, they want it because they like it.
