As much as I don't like the badges, I would totally rock a "Bad Batch" badge.If anyone is interested I made “Bad Batch” Bronco badges. Some folk over on 6/30 build date have already seen these
Products are manufactured and shipped daily. I don't buy that it is terrible process. This is the same company that ships out vehicle, parts, and accessories. This is a big boy company, they can handle it. Now, cost on the other hand, I would tend to agree. That should not fall on Ford or us as the customer. That should fall on Webasto. Ultimately, cost of a resolution is what is holding our Bronco's up. Profits are driving the hold up.
Nah. I'm just expecting official communication. There's no excuse for Ford to not be over communicating at this point. Yes pandemic whatever. But what about customer service. How many dumb advertising emails have you got from ford since you reserved? And how many emails of substance have you received from them regarding your reservation? I don't want to know about the F150 lightning, or the PBR rodeo or stay pumped. I want to know what is holding up my bronco. I want to know what they are doing to fix the voucher issue for off roadeo. And "search this forum" is a Bs answer. You shouldn't have to. Some people have put thousands of dollars down for this truck. They have a right to be overwhelmed with information about their vehicle.
Quite honestly, I see the MIC hardtop as a limited lifespan item as well. There's no way that is going to survive 25 years (nor will most softtops with normal use) they are a 5-10 year wear item at best. It would be nice to get a good one, but personally, I would have rather been able to get the softtop for my 2 door and later pick up a used hardtop from someone else... Like I did with both of my Miatas.
This. They will shut the line down/stop MIC builds before they set themselves up for a mass top replacement program down the line. Purgatory Broncos will wait in MI.
Yes mate, expat Aussie.. Naturalized American, Proud of both
Webasto is definitely out. Let’s hope whoever they find to replace them can deliver in a timely and quality fashion
They have to sell a certain amount of hardtop 2 doors before they can sell soft top 2 doors, some federal reg.
So basically, those of us in purgatory are going to get our replacement tops after the entire fleet of FE's is built? We could be looking at January or February delivery if that's the case.
I sure would like to see the wording on this reg. I keep seeing references to it, and it 100% sounds like something dumb enough for our gov to do.
Some people were dumb enough to put thousands down with no Guarantee of delivery, some also sold their car, went and got financing, insurance quotes and made a bunch of other poor life decisions none of which are Ford’s problem. Until my dealer called and said we picked it up and that was after truck driver fell off truck at depot and broke his ankle I didn’t do anything but wait, patiently. This is a want, not a need that I could have lived without indefinitely. If a Bronco is a need for you,you have already messed up.
Wow, you're a hero. Do you want a prize?
