Bronco production update 8/9: Commodity issues far beyond MIC tops. Chip shortage reaches Bronco supply chain (NO COVID TALK)

[TheWoo]

The person I was texting with was confident at least the Badlands was available for sale. I genuinely hope she was wrong because it was almost exactly my build. Never the less, the fact that they're getting 4 and already have their demo vehicle makes it clear that there is no rhyme or reason to how these things are getting pushed out. My dealer which is HUGE and in a major metro doesn't even have their demo rides yet.

It may be for sale as an abandoned order. I don't believe Badlands are even available to be ordered for when dealer stock is actually produced.

One piece at a time.

who’s pumped for another sticker?!

You get package updates for anything for your address? Hopefully they’re shipping me keys to a new Mustang or something I can enjoy for the next 3 years until the Bronco comes.

n early 2021, Ten10 became the official partner to administer the new Bronco “Manage the Wait” gifting program, which involves sourcing, ideating, producing, and fulfilling over a dozen different premium products procured and distributed to over 120,000 recipients. Gifts sent include Bronco-branded hammocks, blankets, posters, decks of cards, and more, all designed with the outdoor adventurist in mind. The concept is meant to bridge the gap between the pre-order period and the time the buyer receives delivery of the much-anticipated legendary vehicle.

Ten10 was able to work with global vendors to source a very high volume of customized products and map logistics of packaging, shipping, and delivery all within limited timelines.

Almost certainly an abandoned order, my dealership just got in a CG OB that the order holder backed out on. I'd have nabbed it if it had been anything but outer banks or big bend, those trims do nothing for me. It lasted a day or two, it wasnt even marked up.

So we can expect swag.... however this portends further bad news in terms of production.

I never received anything but the stickers. Haven’t been notified of anything else coming, so maybe they’ll release my built bronco instead.

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing in my FedEx account. Another poster and sticker? Great.

What's the opposite of "Get pumped!"?

Get deflated

That guy that got 200 probably has yours.

Valid, I spent 2 years remediating shit leading up to it. it was just frustrating for our side to tell the business "nothing is going to happen", and watch them ignore us and force us to be at the office while they partied.

....and nothing happened.

Yeah, I was working security out at Microsoft at the time, and assigned to work the campus that night. But I got lucky and a slot at Bill’s house opened up so I at least got to eat well and watch the fireworks.

If it's 22.4 pounds of bourbon, I might stay pumped.

What happened to Ford saying the chip shortage will not affect the bronco. Some thing else they over spoke on.

Ford is and has for awhile been only speaking to shareholders, not customers. They’re just saying things to make the stock prices rise. It’s the same reason why they did this half brained “reservation” system. Just to brag about how many reservations there are to raise stock prices regardless of their inability to actually execute the strategy.
