More Production delays?

[swooshdave]

Another one of these threads? At least you posted some actual links.
(Not trying to attack you. Just seen a lot of these comments here and elsewhere lately with people trying to scare everyone without providing any information.)

At this point, I'd say this is unlikely to impact production. Original estimates were that it would take a couple of days to unblock the canal. Reportedly about 10% of global trade passes through the Suez, most notably oil. I haven't seen any reports that this ship - or the many waiting behind it - are carrying some sort of critical automotive components. Even if they were, production isn't scheduled to begin for a couple of months.

Is it possible this could create a delay? Sure, anything is possible. I'd say it's unlikely though. If anything in the global supply chain delays production, at this point it will likely be the semiconductor shortage.

I think OP was trying to be funny.

Certainly possible and I just didn't get it.
That's partly why I wanted to explicitly say I wasn't attacking him.

Seen a lot of low effort 'the sky is falling' posts about this popping up. Only a couple here, but hordes on social media. Probably felt a little annoyed when I responded.

That Ship looks like its delayed because it has the Sasquatch Package, the 2.7 Ecoboost, and the Modular top. For sure the modular top. Heaven help us all . . .

Bullshit, if it had the sasquatch, it would have made that water crossing just fine.

I just laugh them off. Especially the people who want to demand to get their Bronco when they "have" to have it. No one, and I emphasize, no one HAS to have a Bronco. Sure you might think your do and the lust is overwhelming but after a few more months that will subside into rage and angst. And I'll just be over here chuckling.

We're doomed, the Bronco's Blinker Fluid comes via the Suez Canal.

I posted about this yesterday and the thread was quickly deleted as a Chicken-Little story.

Could it be more accurate as "antisocial media"?

Oh no this just means I will have a larger cash down payment on my baby. TERRIBLE.

Ford might be... Banking... On that.
