There’s meds for that.Yep, I totally get that and it makes perfect sense. I guess OCD tendencies and my Math teacher brain struggles when someone says they are 17 out of 38, when in truth, it’s more likely, “I might be 57ish out of 97kinda.” I guess this is my issue.
Yikes!! So far dealers have been over promising, but now you’re saying they are being pessimistic. I never should have asked about allocations.I had a weird interaction with my dealer today. He claims that there’s going to be a big delay on all Broncos, even reservations that were made early and do not contain any of the already mentioned constrained items. (On this forum).
My dealer (supposedly) has around 100 confirmed allocations for their customers in 2021, but he seems to think that nobody is getting a bronco till at least Q4. He cites things like silicon issues. Particularly chipsets for electronics. As the new corporate. So at first it was the painted hardtop. Then leather. Then black interior. Then it was Sasquatch package. And now it’s apparently electronics.
at this rate I’m expecting to get the car in 2023 despite having a 7/13 time stamp.
Pretty sure if this were true there would be an announcement or Job 1 change by now. Mass production is still scheduled for March. Anything else is just speculation.

, so you can’t believe anything I say,” then he was probably lying to you.
After my conversation today with my dealer here in Austin, I am on the verge of not moving forward with my order - which I haven’t placed yet, and moving my reservation to a different dealer. I feel like the sales people at my dealership are idiots.
I switched my dealership because the original one was horrible. I contacted 5 other dealers 4 were great and honest. One of the 4 was knowledgeable about the Bronco other 3 not so much but didn't hide it or feed me a line. None of the 4 were gonna charge over MSRP. I went with the second most knowledgeable which is also the closest one. I have been super happy with them. They asked me a few questions about the Bronco but got up to speed quickly. And the other never got back to me.
I wish I knew what would be best for you, but I don’t. What I’ve seen on this forum are one or two reputable dealers that share detailed and thorough information. They are saying that Ford hasn’t given exact allocation numbers. I believe them. Contrast that with all the people that are coming on here saying what a dealer told them, but those dealers aren’t on here sharing anything publicly or that can be quoted and used against them later. I’m just cynical of most car dealers.
What is there to lose? Why would your dealer put it at 99 without you requesting a hold....unless they are entering orders they want filled for their preferred people, and holding the rest while still having them in to count for allocation? Your dealer is either ignorant or gaming things.
Like saying 22/7 is close enough for pi lolYep, I totally get that and it makes perfect sense. I guess OCD tendencies and my Math teacher brain struggles when someone says they are 17 out of 38, when in truth, it’s more likely, “I might be 57ish out of 97kinda.” I guess this is my issue.
Since we know order numbers are not sequential, how do you know you‘re one of the first 5000? Is this an assumption on your part or a guess?
Noted. But given I had a reservation within 2 hours of launch with the site crashing all around me on 7/13 by 10PM EST, I would say its pretty safe to assume I can believe them when they tell me I am still allocation number 1 with my dealership.
