Alright, I’m pretty tired of the attitude in this forum lately in EVERY new post.
Ford is launching a complex, insanely customizable vehicle in the middle of a historic pandemic with massive inflation, supply chain and labor shortages. There are GONNA be delays. And it’s okay to be upset that your new vehicle is going to be later than you thought, especially when you’re spending 50k plus.
But holy cow there are so many Karen’s in here.
“Wahhh an unofficial leaked chart of paint colors RUINS MY ENTIRE LIFE FORD WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME”
Or complaining about plant shut downs that I’m sure Fords boardroom is giggling about “look at what we did to these fools, we took only $100 refundable deposits and then screwed them over so bad. We’re so cool!”
Seriously get a grip, no one could have foreseen the level of supply chain issues this had and there are so many moving pieces you should be thankful you got a bronco this year if at all.
If you’re complaining because you need a car now: you shouldn’t have reserved a first model year run of a complex vehicle in the middle of a pandemic. Drop your reservation and buy in a few years.
if you’re complaining because communication is poor-guess what, they don’t owe you ANY communication unless you’ve already forked over 50k to them for a vehicle you do not have. They probably don’t have much that would satisfy the lot of you anyway.
I work in logistics, the level of disruption to labor and the supply chain is insane. No body knows anything. No one has any clue when it’s gonna get better. But you know what I’m sure of? Ford knows how cool this vehicle is, and they want to sell a ton of them because that will make them nice fat bonuses. They are not on a mission to screw you over, stop acting like it. I’m not apologizing on their behalf, they’ve made plenty of missteps-but y’all are getting out of line.
I come here to get excited and plan my build and meetups and go back and forth on trims and paint etc, not to see Joe Shmoe crying about how he can’t get Velocity blue on his 2022 bronco and how he’s going to be homeless and destitute because of it.
patience and perspective go a long way. If you’re not happy with how launch has gone-I get you. Doesn’t give you the right to take it personal and garbage up the forum. If you’re really unhappy, LOOK ELSEWHERE. Ford owes you nothing, and will not magically do something to make you happy, so cut your losses and go.
End of soapbox. Have a pleasant weekend.
