There has been a LOT of griping on these digital pages regarding "botched" product launch by Ford for Bronco. And certainly some things could have been smoother. However, having to re-invent your entire launch strategy on the fly, while complying with the ever-changing state regulations across the nation as your events keep having the proverbial monkey wrench thrown in the works, has proven exceedingly difficult.
As a small business owner who deals with federal deadlines it's been an unmitigated disaster to service our clients with the entire business landscape thrown into chaos as the business model has been forced to change with zero notice.
I give Ford a LOT of credit for how many successful events they have had and how hard they have been working to keep up momentum for the product launch while there must be thousands of parts supply, labor, administrative and human uncertainty surrounding every aspect of their business.
One of the most plagued product launches of all time has been the "2019" C8 Corvette. Here's an example of what they are now facing as production gets paused and likely those who had money down will get their "2019" car sometime in 2021.
GM Runs Out of Corvette Parts, Production Paused
So a reminder to all, there will be parts shortages during Bronco build, there will be delays for some model/trim/equipment, and it will be out of their hands to control. Had this been a normal year for the human population on Earth, these issues would not have happened. But it hasn't been a normal year and there will be production issues. Please have some patience*.
*This post made knowing full-well that the forum will turn into an S-show once people's builds are delayed or 100,000 Broncos don't reach customers by the first month the factory is running....
