🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

No I have never leased but I've also never bought a brand new car. The idea never appealed to me though. I did hear that lease rates were worse than buyout on the Bronco right now but Idk the truth to that at this time.

Right! Whats the deal with that? I'm literally 15 mins from Map and my Bronco blend date was jan 4th. I'm on my 3rd delivery date. 16th, 25th, now feb 4th. Makes no sense.

Someone in another thread said that there were chip issues and that ford made the decision to hold convoy vehicles because they typically would arrive quicker than rail-so when chips arrived-place and go. Who really
Knows but Ford who isn’t saying? built and sitting 4.5 hrs away and I’d volunteer to go pick my Girl up. whatever it is, real Info would actually be great….but it is what it is at this point. I just ask WHY they keep building others when all of us sitting should be finished and shipped….

y’all’s cars and coffee is so much better than ours in Tulsa.

I am a Project Manager by profession with a really good understanding of Change Management and apparently Ford could use some help regarding Communications, Process Improvement and Change Management.

I was completely irate yesterday when for no apparent reason and with no notification my estimated delivery date was changed from 2/1 to 2/13 (yes a Sunday). Today during my normal PC start up I saw that my status had changed to Built on 1/26. Had Ford only changed the status from "In Production" to "Built" first and then changed the estimated delivery date I would have translated that into a good thing because there was positive progress then the bad news on delayed delivery.

This slight change in process would greatly reduce the stress felt by so many of their customers who are caught up in a rotten order, build and deliver process. This doesn't help the Purgatory Party folks but if Ford took a few hours to think about how to improve their processes and communications they could reduce the stress level of many if not all of their customers by simply communicating at the correct times and more often than they do now.

Ford are you listening? Do you care?

I 100% agree with you on all points.

Another leaves production purgatory! Now we get to wait for the shipped status.

That’s cool! Makes sense. They already have the capability to be amber, so just needs the software to tell it to stay amber. I’m personally not brave enough to mess with the coding, but that’s cool to know

Stickerfab sells these in case you want the look of the amber DRLs but don't want to go the Forscan route:

I did see those, I think they look yucky personally, lol.

I 100% agree with you on all points.

Also agree. That's very similar to the feedback I gave them on that survey email they sent out.

 

[OkieB6G]

Received my Eruption Green Big Bend yesterday! Loving it!

Absolutely love seeing all of these EG beauties make it home

 

[Jolo86]

Took possession yesterday!

Also, a moment of silence for everyone getting holes drilled into their bronco for a stupid license plate

Thank you. After informing my dealer not to install front license plate I went to pick it up and front license plate was installed after reassurances that the dealership doesn't do that. The guy I was dealing with is in the hospital so the message was never conveyed apparently. Pissed. Heard the fix is plastic plugs is that true?

Yea, see that's enough to make me try to do a switch to the sig's on my Black Diamond.

 

[Merbronc]

Well morning update- nothing from dealer and she’s not there during my morning stalker moment.

Getting antsy bc they are. Asking for potentially a foot of snow on Saturday which would definitely delay trucking a day or more. Praying for good news later today

 

[FJ 432]

Historically Thursdays and Fridays have been fruitful for deliveries. I'm lighting a candle to help some of my first batchers compadres receive good news.

Only good mojo....
