what the F is going on. They just put out a build schedule a couple days ago. Can they not get anything going. or are they going to have the Maverick come out before the rest of the Broncos and dont forget the 150 lightening. Come on now enuff is enuff. either build or cancel the program completely.

Let’s keep deflecting blame onto Webasto for Fords terribly designed hard top. First it was COVID and now it’s their supplier.

Ford can't even get out of their own way
You know the old saying about 'assume'...we all "think" we probably know what a company's objectives are. But corporate asset management at this level is not an intuitive exercise. Unless you've seen the CEO/CFO incentive programs you're just guessing.

I pre-ordered a 2022 RS3. Looks like i'll be getting that first and they aren't even available to order yet.
WOW, until today I NEVER thought that I'd see my TriMotor Cyber Truck (Day 1 Reservation) before the much more conventional Bronco.

The tops are a byproduct of failed management.

How is a $ 56 BILLION company unable to to put up a website to handle day one reservations, oversee the manufacture of a low tech part like the MIC roof or even keep the owners website up and running. It is a very bad look for the company.

Am I the only one that has issues signing into the my ford website?
They might have been more successful had they only been a 56 Billion and 1 dollar company. ;)

Don't forget, they have a new video dropping this week on the MIP crew.

So... they get a bonus for not producing Bronco's... :unsure:

This is the smartest take no one is mentioning. Fords transparency with this process, which is new to many of us, is exactly what is causing the reactionary stuff in the forum. Remove our ability to dial into internal vehicle visibility programs, track our own rail car, etc... & I think there would be little to no issue with what’s happening and how Ford is handling it. The instant gratification in us all is getting the better of us, when we just need to chill and wait. My 2 cents, piggy jar it, or toss it out.
Sorry, I get the instant gratification thing - I have teenage kids - but I think what's getting the best of many of us is the expectation created by FORD. I made a reservation (Day 1) over a year ago, ordered my vehicle nearly 6 months ago ($ 2,000 deposit) based on the expectation that FORD would be delivering the Bronco in the Spring of 2021. And what makes it even more frustrating is that we don't know if we're looking at an additional month or 2 wait or possibly an additional 6 months or more. I have TriMotor Cyber Truck on order - Day1 reservation. I have no expectation of getting that vehicle and I am not the least bit frustrated by it. Expectations!

I remember in the movie Ford Vs. Ferrari that Henry Ford Jr. claims that Ford won WWII by building tanks and airplanes for the Allied Effort. I hope we don't have to rely on Ford again for war machinery unless its going to be Falkland Island Round 2....we can drop broken Broncos full of Napalm on the enemy and scare them into submission...

Seems like a lot of quality issue to fix.. ABS glitches, Whistling Grills, Cheap ass Hardtops.

As for the Webesto issues, Ford should suck it up and just roll every Bronco out with a Soft Top with the option to swap it out for a Hard Top for free when they become avaible.
I don't even want a free one. Just agree to sell me either the MIC or Black Modular at the original price when the time comes for me to purchase it.
