Well, see you brothers and sisters in May if this is true!

Nah. I think they will churn through the chip holds quickly. I went through each build week trackers earlier and most of the early Decembers are already done. The 12/20s are moving. Then the next would be 1/3s as the plant didn't build over the holiday. So assume they can churn through 1,000-2,000 chip replacements a week minimally, and considering those which weren't on hold and already delivered, then I would bet ours will be wrapped by late March.

This is, of course, assuming there are no more shortages

Yep exactly. And also there are likely other holds in place unrelated to chips. Convoy availability may be one. I also read that some folks were held because a rim was bent or a hose was ripped during assembly and they needed to order more. Unfortunately the supply issues span far and wide but with chips being the biggest bottleneck it seems.

I think the fact that we all got built less a chip hold is pretty damn good. My friend went to a dealer recently to order a Bronco and they told him it wouldn't be until 2023 or 2024 until he got it. So we are the lucky ones who got in our reservations early, especially those who did it with price protection.

Question for everyone:

When we're talking about our blend dates in reference to FIFO, who got built/shipped and who's still stuck, are we referring to the blend date on our window sticker, the in-production date on our pizza tracker, or the day we were produced/built?

I ask, because I was a 1/25 blend, and I remember there being some delays on window sticker blend and in production dates on trackers.

1/25 blend
In production on pizza tracker of 1/27
Dealer screenshot says "produced" 1/27
Chip hold, EDD 5/20/22
Modules have been visible for some time
No changes to the tracker: Still showing in production with a 5/20 EDD.

PS- I would honestly rather it just show up randomly than compulsively track the rail car or anything else, as it seems all capabilities to track or get any kind of update on our Broncos suck a** haha. Happy Friday, y'all!

.....

Most of us are referring to your original Blend Date. So for you 1/25. For me 1/27.

I got my Husky liners and my OCD Matte 12” screen protector today. I’ll just put those aside for a bit I guess…

I’m only referring to bring in the small % of 1/28ers that didn’t get built/shipped. I get what you’re saying and you’re not wrong in that context.

We need some kind of live video happy hour. We could piss and moan at each other over beers.

So it appears my bronco headed to Wilmington NC is on train TTGX973411 and last update says it’s in Cayce SC as of 2pm on 2/18. Dealer told me yesterday that it was still in Michigan. Not sure if this helps anyone but I figured I’d post
