Ford’s Solution for Commodity Shortages

[IfIHMadeA2021Scout]

So I’m shopping for a Bronco Sport for my kid. Ford is having commodity shortages on that too. I think I found how they’re addressing this and still able to deliver vehicles.

I wonder if they’ve patented this technology yet.

My apologies for the misdirection. That scene from the Back to the Future movie. Is that from when he is running from Butch's kids and they then laugh at him because the hoverboard loses power over the water?

It has been some time since watching that movie admittedly though.

This is in stock at a CA dealer! Someone schedule a test drive and take some video.

Yes, your correct, I'm just funning with technology, real and imagined.

Ok. Thank you for the social norm around here. Also, and even more "thank you" that my memory isn't getting very bad.

I WISH that I was a vet. . Unfortunately I am only a civilian Air Force employee: in acquisitions.
