Ahh. I know that tracker too. Just didn’t realize that is what you guys were all referencing.

Just called the 800 number and they said “ in production and the final day of production would be the 25th of February and I am NOT on hold for a chip” blend 1/28 1663/2270

still not getting too excited though

I'm 1459/2270, have mods online and EDD 2/17. Weird how different our scenarios are despite being a couple hundred builds apart. Final day of prod being 2/25 is particularly weird.

How soon did y'all get the delayed and updated EDD after getting your original EDD? My EDD popped up this morning showing 3/2, so I called my dealer to confirm. MY DEALER SAID he shows me produced and no hold for a chip, still shows 3/2 on his end. But, I'm afraid I'm just further down the line than most others and may still get an updated delayed EDD.

4 days for me sitting with a 2/17 edd.... Then the bomb dropped. 1/27 blend date

Where is the spreadsheet? And what do you guys call the “pizza tracker”? As dealership personnel, I use a different link in our system that requires our credentials. I just wanted to check mine against the “pizza tracker” and see what populates.

seems like the later the build the better no correlation between types of bulds.. small sample all delayed

yeah that doesn't make any sense to me. i don't think it takes a month to build if they aren't waiting on something. i also haven't yet been push (1/27 blend) but assuming it'll happen when they finally make the rounds to our later builds.

The dealership I work for has two mannequins but they are asking a stiff premium to avoid the wait. Every dealer will be. One is a Cyber Orange Badlands. The other is a Cactus Gray Big Bend. PM me and I can get you Window Stickers if you are interested.

Since you work for a dealership maybe you can expand on the following for me:

With all the built Broncos sitting at the MAP stockyard currently, has Ford stated anything to you about how they intend to keep them in new condition? Temp changes, snow and ice on soft tops, not being run or used - I can't imagine it's good for any new car to sit like that for 3 months. I am over the delay - it is what it is but now concerned about the condition the Bronco will be in when I get it. I hope Ford has a plan to perform some sort of repeat QC before shipping these. Thanks for any insight you have.

Yeah, Ford's customer service told me something very similar this morning. The lady I spoke with told me mine was already "produced" with a final production day of 2/24*. She also told me I was not on hold for a chip, and she felt "confident" my 3/2 delivery date should stick. Also, blend date of 1/28, 1468/2270

Just talked with the manager at the dealership, he confirmed I'm on hold due to the microchip delay. He said the May delivery time is hopefully the worst case scenario... so I got that going for me.

Almost a certainty that this will effect everybody's rig no matter the trim or spec. The only two options that run across all trims and haven't been ruled out yet are the num pad on the door and the aux switches.

Unfortunately, I am in the same boat that you are. I checked again today and no bulletins have been published and I have no additional information to share. I have one sitting up there as well, so trust me, I would really like some answers as well. As someone stated earlier, vehicles do sit on dealer lots sometimes for quite a while. The difference is we don’t have field mice looking for shelter all over the pavement. I am just going to trust that our vehicles will be safe there and they will go through a QC check before shipping. All we can do is speculate right now and that probably isn’t healthy for our mental stability at this point.

Ok thank you!

Anyone else planning to listen to the earnings call this evening?

I was thinking about making it a game..
every time microchip is mentioned
every time reservations are mentioned
every time supply chain is mentioned
every time Farley brags about average selling price above MSRP
every time artificial “produced” numbers are quoted
every time a new vehicle is hyped (bronco raptor, lightning, etc)

As of right now, there are no holds on my order according to Ford. I started production Tuesday with modules popping but still showing OSEQ. Anyone in the same boat?
