This really help my attitude. Thank you

It’s my pleasure. The wait can suck pretty bad sometimes with the uncertainty and the delays but it’s worth every ounce of it. Keep your head up buttercup

They are the flavors! The alcohol loads in 4 cylinders on the side-it had 5 but one is interchangeable. Holds rum/gin, whiskey, tequila, and vodka. Pick a flavor pod, load it up top like a keurig, and it pulls from the associated cylinder at whatever strength you want

Welcome to the Purgatory Party!

Yep... just spent 10 min on hold before talking to Alyssa. She was very nice btw and told me congrats on the Bronco because those things are FIRE lol. She said mine is finished but it is now "pending update" and awaiting shipment.

were you Stuck in “in production” status or in “built” status?
it seems people stuck in “built” get their bronco as normal (it’s just the tracker not updating to shipped) but people stuck “in production” since early January have their bronco sitting at MAP, me included.

I am surprised by the way that we don’t have any insider info on why so many broncos are sitting at MAP stuck “in production” status.

If I remember correctly, I was “in production” (without a date listed) on the 7th, then it changed to “built” on the 12th with the date of the 11th on both “in production” & “built”. Then it sat at MAP for a bit and my delivery estimate went from the 21st to the 27th and of course arrived today. I have heard of trucker shortages so I assume that was the issue. Minor compared to the ones who are stuck “in production”. Hopefully something happens for you all this week

Did she give any details on what “pending update” means?

Okay, here are my thoughts after driving it over 100 miles today (will catch up on the monstrous amount of posts tomorrow when I have some time)....

- The manual trans is smoooooooth like budda
- This thing is BIG, I mean whatever you are thinking, think bigger
- Even with a Big Bend with no packages, there are plenty of toys and settings to play around with
- The bluetooth works great, even at highway speeds with a soft top

Questions for those of you who have taken delivery....
- Have any of you taken the side stickers/emblems off? I think I am going to peel mine off - hate the look
- What is everyone doing for charging for those without the factory wireless charging (I hate to us wires)
- Where is the setting to turn off the honk if you leave your keys in the car?
- Any other settings you guys want to recommend?

Okay, looks like this is the start of a long term love affair.

How me people that have received their Bronco had it shipped by convoy? It seems that the only ones getting shipped are by rail? May not be the case but just curious.

Mine came by convoy, was shipped 1/10 , got to dealer late 1/12, took her home 1/13

Nice update. So exciting.

It’s actually the espresso martini and thanks! We made that last year. It was our first deep pout epoxy project. We broke the piece of wood in half, cleaned it up and poured the black epoxy in the middle. The sanding was the worst. Lol

 

[PaulBrownSr]

Did she give any details on what “pending update” means?

So I was a little distracted while talking (got a little one), but I did ask what that meant and my understanding is it just means she can’t see when it will be shipped now because that date is what is “pending update.”

The shitty thing is when I called last Wednesday, the CS woman told me it’d be shipped on the 22nd!

And I am absolutely in love with these fogs/DRLs from MandR. I already have the amber backlit BRONCO sitting on my shelf waiting. These are next! (pic stolen from another thread)

Saw that thread too. It made me rethink the Oracle lights! I didn't like them in white, but I love them in amber. Also digging the fog inserts and lower grill lights... yeah... I may have to copy this setup.
