Thanks for going out. It seems like perhaps they don't have enough "extra" modules/chips to get much progress done on the ICE/Thaw mountain Broncos. Just enough for the line. Dammit.
No problem. I'm going to give it a week or two after the weather straightens out and get some more shots.

I think it just takes longer because it’s not on the assembly line at the time and they don’t have many techs likely.

Makes no sense to me at all, to use the modules on the line,,, go complete the damn builds sitting in the snow and ice and let the next batch take our place. They have no concept on prioritize!! Geez Ford,,,Really???

While I agree that would be the way we would want it to go, it’s not going to happen. They aren’t going to create more rework and extra steps when they have the parts to complete Broncos directly on the line.

The revenue the same. Makes no sense not more of an effort to complete. Working in the lot by poping hoods is not the best way. If they wanted to speed up they would create a planned operation— not hard.

I’m all for them making the effort to complete, I’m one of just a couple my blend date not to be built/shipped.

They have to keep the line, and employees working. Replacing parts is usually done by those trained to do so, and are in those positions.

I know there was analysis and guesses about the numbers on ice mountain from the photos. Does anyone have a guess or even knowledge of how many of us are still waiting for Broncos? Or how many Broncos went down the line with all pieces in December and are now stabled with their new owners? I'm trying to understand the magnitude/percentage of Broncos stuck on ice mountain and how much of a problem it presents to Ford. I just want better knowledge of our situation during this long wait.

How about this…..wrap the chips in an esd static bag, put them in the goddamn glove box, and load the whole kit and kaboodle on a train to the dealership with some instructions.
If those knuckle-dragging dipshits in the Ice Mountain video with their ginormous tool crates plopped on the hood of a $60k Bronco can figure it out, then I guess a trained ford mechanic could do no worse.

Not in the least. Harsh is having your 99.9% built rig sit in an snow covered parking lot for 3 months because you miscounted how many chips you had available for each Bronco. Harsh is shipping out new builds while the thousands of Broncos, needing those same chips, sit in the same snow covered parking lot. Harsh is using someone else’s hood to hold your tool crate. Harsh is selling a 2021 Bronco to a customer at full price that gets delivered 4-5 months into the year of our lord 2022. Harsh is telling a customer with a first 10 minute day 1 reservation and #1 of 56 dealership allocation that they’ll build your Bronco in reservation/timestamp order…while the estimated delivery date puts it at 670 days. Harsh is telling a customer they need to switch to a soft top, but not offering a soft top in the 2 dr so pushing their day 1 reservation to the following year. Shall I continue with today’s lesson on the word harsh?

I don’t disagree with your assessment. I personally, just didn’t care for you referring to them as ā€œknuckle dragging dipshitsā€. It’s all good though. I know you’re just frustrated like most of us. šŸ»

I am right there with you. I did have some movement on mine……. I got Mike Levine to block me on Twitter so at least he saw something once. 2022 Management - Just block it out donā€˜t communicate. Fucking assholes.

has anyone gotten a change of arrival from May to March or April? wondering if there is any truth to them actually making progress on getting trucks out of there. I actually don't even want mine before April for a variety of reasons, but May is a bit long and just knowing it's there and not on a train is pissing me off

They may be swell human beings, however, that video with the tool crate on the hood of someone’s rig and the way that chick jumped out of the truck like Area 51 security when she saw the OP recording irked me. That was perhaps a poor choice of words……but, however you want to characterize them, I sure wished there were more of them.
