🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

[Tarheel_Wes]

Picked up this beauty last night! I LOVE IT! The finance guy told me that people had been coming in looking at it and making offers all day. Went and picked her up a soon as I could leave school (which wasn't fast enough). Joe Myers Ford was amazing to work with. No markups, no surprises, great experience. It is so fun to drive! First stop, Chick-fil-a.

Congrats! Another great-looking black diamond!

I've noticed every one else in purgatory has had their EDD pushed back at least once. Mine has somehow not changed. Is it safer to think that my tracker is completely busted or does anyone think I have any chance of actually seeing my bronco around my EDD of 2/14.

12/23: Showed in production
1/8: Blend date on window sticker
1/10: Dealer said "in transit" (whatever that means)
1/11: In production date showed up on tracker (nothing has changed since)
No built date
No ship date
No emails

Sadly I wouldn't expect anything until at least a built status shows up. Not sure I've seen anyone with in production get a surprise delivery.

For those of us lucky enough to have had a delivery, has anybody played much with a apple car play?

I got my wireless car play set up easy enough....what I'm trying to figure out is NOT having whatever is on my phone always come through the system.

For example, if I'm listening Sirius/XM and say, for example, pull up a quick YouTube video on my phone (never while driving....of COURSE).....I don't really want that video to override whatever I'm listening to on the radio...

Not sure how to configure this.....

Hm that seems weird but also makes sense. I only ever use Android auto so it’s always made sense that a youtube video or whatever, would override. Seems it should allow you to do it if you aren’t actively using AA but, at the same time, also kind of makes Sense that if the Bluetooth is connected - it’s connected. You’ll probably just need to disable it. Though mine is always reconnecting.

Im actually trying to figure out if my Samsung S9s battery draining faster than normal is due to a constant chatter with the Bronco, lol. OR if it’s 4 years of age/use is catching up to it. Either stinks, because the phone still works flawlessly.

@Cat your timing is amazing and thank you asking! I got the call from my dealer around 11am this morning in fact. My Bronco was delivered to the dealership yesterday on the last day of my EDD range. I scrambled down to @chapmanford here in Scottsdale, AZ (True Confession: I ironed a shirt before I left because of the special occasion). I had my photo op, then went through my mental OCD List I had gone over several times, thanks to you @Cat . My financing went quick as they couldn’t touch 1.89% with USAA. Declined their 8yr 100k extended warranty that was offered for $3,600 (again, another @Cat insight). Said a little prayer and drove away in my Bronco! Was home just in time for my afternoon conference call, which I completely mentally checked out of! Just nodded my head in approval, chuckled a few times and may have even agreed to do some stuff, but not really sure what!? Left right after for an evening engagement and just now nestled her into my freshly mopped garage for the night after 90 blissful miles today. It was all very surreal, but I do know I’m very lucky and blessed beyond what I deserve!

Congratulations! I dressed up nice for my Bronco first date too but I didnt end up even getting a picture, lol!!

You match her nicely too! Haha!

Congratulations! I wanted to get mine ASAP too (that’s why I took delivery before they could even clean it yet) because I didn’t want anyone getting their dirty paws on it, lol!

Does anyone know how the Amazon wish list works? I had some 2018+ Jeep soft top storage bags in there, as I wanted them for the soft top (saw someone tried them and they worked well for bronco too)… and i noticed the price went down so I clicked on it to see by how much and voila, it said “someone purchased these for You”… But it‘s weird, cause no one knows my wish list link besides my best friend and I know it wasn’t her, lol. So can someone search for it? I want to know who bought them, lol! Idk how it works, It was mostly just my save for later list. My husband and I share an Amazon account so if we buy something it shows up in the ordered list of course.

Edit: Now it shows needs 1 and has 1 (none have arrived though), lol. But also showing in case anyone else is interested.

What has been the rough estimated time of delivery from once you all got built confirmation? Thanks

What’s a BUILT confirmation???

Did you ever get an email from [email protected] ‹[email protected]› with a temporary password? I wonder if your email already exists in their system.

It should look something like this:

No email from OVISS. Checked my spam too.

EDIT: So I tried again- no luck. I used the “Contact” button to, well, contact them and ask for help. After sending that message, I immediately tried again and, SUCCESS!

My original EDD was 1/31 and I don't think it updated to the next date until 1/27 or 1/28. If it's still showing as in production it's probably not going to be delivered by 2/14, sorry.

Yeah, I was originally trying this on my iPad, then realized it needed to be on the phone (iPhone for me). The vin pulls up the load number and my dealer information okay, but when I enter my name and email and hit subscribe, it gives me the error. Maybe the system's down, and a good nights sleep will cure it.

It seems that website is super super finicky. Do you have an android device you can try? I had to be on my phone not my ipad or computer, to get it to work. It may work with apple phones but that was just my experience.

I actually just got it to work. See the edit on my last post.
Thanks everyone for the help!

Oh - managed to find a gas station I could use yesterday. The pump nozzle was definitely not quite as coiled as the one near my house, so I had no issues.. But man, she cost 70$ to fill up from 1/4 tank. Lol.

I've been reading that alot have been running 91 or 93 not 87.. what is everyone planning on using on here when they receive theirs? I'm just wondering if running that high grade right away have been the reason the 2.7s have been messing up? Don't quote me on it I'm just rambling lol

 

[KReich64]

And after all that trouble… Oh well, I’ll try again later.

How much is gas where you live? Round here it's $3.15-$3.25 a gallon.

I have not received that yet. My blend date was 1/6/22. I have been pushed back twice, once to 2/10 and the second to 2/20. Just trying to get my mind right once I receive "Built Confirmation" . Thanks for the reply!
