This probably won’t get any attention but I tried. I’m pretty ticked seeing my delivery date change once again. Build up hopes just to crush them. I know alot of you out there are in the same boat. Rant over!

Wow
Wow, they’ve really messed this release up.
Yep...7/14/20 reservation holder for a 4 door WildTrak and I have a better chance of finding the Knights Templar treasure buried beneath my backyard grill than I do of ever seeing a build date for this frigging truck!

It’s all Ford’s fault there is a chip shortage worldwide. There’s nobody else to blame but Ford. Everybody should picket in front of their HQ until they make more chips. It’s not like other companies make the chips or anything.

Same thing happened to me, and a bunch of other folks on the 1/17 build week thread. Beyond pissed.

I like when some people defend Ford by saying that the chip shortage isn't their fault, and it truly isn't, but it is Fords fault when they continue to build dealer stock Broncos, which still requires chips over reservation holders Broncos!

honestly I don't think the bronco is a priority for ford. i see it as a lean experiment testing build to order. one with many fail-fast lessons learned on reservations, pricing, communication, how to navigate it given existing franchise dealer agreements, dealing with shortages, etc.

How is that not Ford's fault? When I bake a cake I make sure I have all the ingredients....when I don't have all the ingredients I atleast tell my guests they not getting cake, not make a shitty 98% done cake and stick it in the fridge for months and not acknowledge it.Snow mountain because of chips...

I totally agree. Communication is key. I also place responsibility on Ford for their suppliers.
Take your cake business as an example. Say you decide to optimize production by requiring every cake to have sprinkles. You build a rigid workflow around that. To save some costs, you choose a single supplier for your sprinkles. When that supplier has problems and you can't deliver cakes, that is your fault. You made risk/reward choices along the way that screwed you and your customer.
Oh and suppose you didn't just do this for sprinkles. You made the same decision about 200 ingredients, knowing two years ago that there were problems globally. Now the odds of one of those suppliers having issues isn't such a long shot.
But hey, at least some lucky cake lovers will get one or two, and some will pay more than you advertised, which you'll get to brag about as CEO on earnings calls.
