How accurate is estimated delivery date?

[AZ_Liberty]

It's very accurate, the 2nd or third time they change it.

Or did you mean the initial estimate? Ha ha hahahah.

Yeah no. Your Bronco goes on a Rail car, the rail car gets hidden somewhere, and eventually some union guy is so low on the totem pole he has to unload it.

Mine was supposed to be here weeks ago. Then again, it was originally supposed to be built in June.

Ford and dates are... aspirational at best.

haha absolutely. Pick a number from 1 to 10. and then pick days or weeks, or even months. Could be anything.

Well mine was waiting on a ramp to be loaded as of Saturday but I won't check status again until Wednesday to see if it actually gets on a railcar.

 

[Nakigara]

Well it's still waiting to be loaded 4 days later and is supposed to be here in 2 weeks, that's pretty doubtful I would think by this point.

My second delivery window ends today while im still in “awaiting shipping” for the last 20 days.

 

[Nakigara]

At least I made it to shipping. It was built last Wednesday and made it to the ramp on Saturday. Maybe it will be loaded by the end of the week maybe not who knows.

Odds that I receive my Bronco by the 26th like Ford says are… dwindling. It’s still sitting on the rail ramp at MAP, but I’m not really sure what that means

 

[Nakigara]

Just waiting to get loaded I would assume. Then you gotta wait for it to get to the dealership.

 

[Nakigara]

So I received a ship email on Tuesday I know it was sitting on a ramp Saturday, is it possible it's in transit and they haven't received railcar info?

 

[Nakigara]

Well here is the first push now estimated delivery is the end of October.

Shipped by rail 9/30 to San Antonio. ETAs:
10/14-10/20
10/26-11/1
10/22-10/28

Yes... last one is earlier than expected! They will make the delivery window even if they need to adjust it. Probably a stat somewhere briefed to a CEO or for a bonus, 99% inside delivery window. Just like the stat times at the drivethru. Please pull forward and wait so your wait time stops... Keeping the numbers right at the customers expense was not the intent of why they were tracked in the first place. IMHO

I got it a few days after the estimated date.

Fords ship and track is as reliable and trusty worthy as a dollar store pregnancy test.

Well it was only a few days late for me but my sales guy was off the day before so technically it was probably 2 days.

I had my Bronco in my garage a full day before I got the email that said my ETA slipped for the third time and still showed "awaiting shipping" on the pizza tracker. The dollar store pregnancy test joke was my wife's when I showed her the Bronco was still awaiting shipment, yet it was in our garage. Nothing like the pull-and-pray method 'eh. I say that with much love for my two very planned teenage daughters.

The Convoy folks seem to get the full emotional roller coaster experience toward the end. If I were a Ford executive and I found out my team could not track millions in inventory, someone would have some explaining to do.
