[DUSTYcazOREGON]

Anyone know what happened to the employee video of MAP plant "tour". Some of us are looking forward to seeing it. Thank you.

I was under the impression that Ford leadership did not take kindly to info leaks and shut it all down.

EDIT: the Stig "potato" videos ended in... October-ish??? So this comment is not new news.

Great question!

Maybe also why we haven't heard from Ross lately?

Seems that the guy going to do it is gone. Some things you just don't talk about.

If Ford did shut it down I think they are in crisis mode and not handling it very well IMHO.

PR 101
Admit there is a problem and be honest or at least come off that way. Apologize.
Buy time by saying we are investigating with regular updates to the situation.
Provide plan of action and correction for future even if very high level.
Execute plan.
Apologize.

If not exactly the above something sort of in the above vein. The capability and basic quality is there and they should address not waiver on this. Explain why things broke done (we f'd up) and what is happening to correct it.

So far, Ford has given no updates or word ignoring the dumpster fire. We get it Covid has narf'd all of 2020 and 2021. There are things still in you power and control either take control or they will end up controlling you. The plan of action has been pie in the sky dream world and too high level.

This current state of handling things will continue to backfire and cause more issues.

Rick Astley noted in one of his posts a very true thing that delays happen and gave his example of their ranger purchase. The one thing I would note is in his example he knew what the issue and delay was...those of us stuck currently are left to guess. No one knows...scary thought...even Ford does not know as too many things have fallen off the rails.

We will still get our Bronco's at least those of us with a VIN. This year like last is dumpster fire #2 or 2020 part 2. So yes there is some VERY strong market forces playing against us and we as the customers do need to temper our "frustrations", "anger", "impatience" to an extent...just as much as Ford needs to address and communicate.

It's in the same purgatory that the Stig is.

The good news though is that means we don't have to suffer through a stig-quality video.

 

[GravyTrain]

Please leak the video!!!

That potato of his gave us "very good" pictures and info though.

What’s the 2nd rule?

That's because when you're starving, even a soda cracker is delicious.

Maybe Ford realized we didn't care about a stupid video of MAP, we'd rather actually have our Broncos built and delivered!

Just my theory anyways

Very well said . Now if Ford would only do it?

They banned Dr. Detroit ???? What the hell did he do? It wasn’t an inside video. It was a video that was going to be put out jointly by Ford and the UAW.
