And, I bet, most of us on this forum aren’t very concerned about it either.This is far more likely. Nobody outside of this forum cares about nonsense like “dirt mountain” “bad batch” and “lot rot”

I would not be surprised. I do know one local OTR driver who said his employer requested about 40 auto hauler trained drivers be at the railyard on 9/27 ready to roll. He won't know which dealerships or brands of vehicles until the trailers get assigned, but he noted it was unusual his company got called since they are a 'backup to the backup' to the actual company who handles it. We will see though. I can only hope its Broncos in there somewhere.I predict they will get the MIC Top issue figured out, but then the Railway Union will go on strike
I don't understand why a lot would refuse them. Because they were parked 4-8 weeks? There are tens of thousands of Fords (and other makes) parked all over the country waiting on chips. I mean if a day 1 wants to go to the back of the line, maybe they weren't going to get one anyway.I expect a lot of the Dirt Mountain Broncos to be refused by the original customer and available for sale at the dealers on delivery. I already had a dealer reach out to me with one that's someone decided not to to pick up when it gets delivered.
I saw on a Long McArthur video yesterday that FE builds are being looked at tomorrow. Tim Bartz said if you have one, you may see it get scheduled.As a 2-door non FE order, 10-1/2 hours after reveal, I would hope by Memorial Day 2022. I can't see it coming any sooner.
Just naturally, a brand new car, right off the assembly line delivered in June is much more desirable than one that sat for 90+ days, has miles on it from being driven back and forth, had things replaced, and was delivered in November/December. I think the take rate will be lower.I don't understand why a lot would refuse them. Because they were parked 4-8 weeks?

I'm not going to dig through all of that, but if I recall correctly 8 months ago the discussion around hardtop production was around product mix and the higher take rate than expected for hardtops. Everything as of late has been about quality.My source is this website, nearly 8 months ago. The issues first surfacing with webasto never mentioned any quality issues. Only that they wouldn't be able to make enough tops per day to keep up with the body shop and MAP
I'm with ya Jim...I reserved an hour and a half after the reservation banks went live. 4-Door WildtrakI don't even have a VIN yet...got my hammock though...or whatever was in that bag they sent me.....
I get the impression that many don't look on the window sticker to see the date the vehicle was built. It's very common to see vehicles sitting built over 6 months ago.Just naturally, a brand new car, right off the assembly line delivered in June is much more desirable than one that sat for 90+ days, has miles on it from being driven back and forth, had things replaced, and was delivered in November/December.

Here's one I found at random built 2-7-20.I don't understand why a lot would refuse them. Because they were parked 4-8 weeks?

You are probably right but as someone who is in the exact same boat, I'm still stupidly hoping for Mid-March...As a 2-door non FE order, 10-1/2 hours after reveal, I would hope by Memorial Day 2022. I can't see it coming any sooner.
So wait, honest question here:Just naturally, a brand new car, right off the assembly line delivered in June is much more desirable than one that sat for 90+ days, has miles on it from being driven back and forth, had things replaced, and was delivered in November/December. I think the take rate will be lower.
