Exact sameAre they sitting in a nice dry temp controlled warehouse or factory floor patiently waiting for their chips? No, they are in the sub freezing temps covered with snow (salt from nearby roads?) and bird poop in some dusty lot near Detroit. Oh joy. I got an 'in production' date of 1/18/22 and the module check showed all listed as activated. So I know its put together just sitting and aging. New delivery date is mid May.
Sure it does. They pay the union workers whether or not they're building Broncos, so they get some units mostly built with the parts on hand and park them outside in the snow for a few months. As excess parts beyond what is needed to keep the production line running are brought in they plug holes in the parked ones and ship them out with the ones built weeks later.Realistic maybe. But the lack of communication is ridiculous. Why are they holding broncos and still producing them. Are they going to hold all between now and April? Something doesn’t add up here.
I ordered in Jan 2021, Still no production schedule. I'm in the APR-MAY club too.
So Ford is actually being realistic for once. That is the good news. Bad news is that a large group of us from December build dates will not get the 2021 Bronco until APRIL and MAY. Yup. MAY. A large number of broncos built within a 10 day period in December (before 2022s rolled down the line) are sitting at MAP waiting to be completed. And now they have to wait over 5 months to get out the mostly built vehicles.
Semiconductor chips.What is causing the hold up?
They won't do that because QC occurs at the factory, not the second party owned dealership. Also knowing dealerships, theyll try to sell the Bronco without the missing parts! LolI can't imagine the logistics of installing parts in a post production environment like what we see in the photo. That has to be costing Ford some serious money over line production.
I'm surprised they don't just ship the Broncos to the dealers as is and have the parts installed there when they are available.
How are we not getting some sort of rebate for this horseshit? (Honestly don’t care what anyone has to say who isn’t impacted by this) The idea we’re getting a 2021 in April (best case) because Ford f’ed up is crazy. We need to band together and demand some sort of consideration.
