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

[hozer]

Not that anyone but us forum lurkers would care, but the silence is kinda hurting the value of MY21.

Only thing going for MY21 now is that there are so few, but once these are all over and MY22 comes out and has all the nonsense fixed, MY21 will take a noticeable hit IMO

I don't know - if you have a MY21 (without issues, of course), it's going to always be a rare bird now. Getting more rare by the minute, it seems. There will be a market for 21s for quite a while, IMO.

As a bad batcher and a consultant in the manufacturing industry, unfortunately for me this is 100% correct should good roofs be arriving at MAP

And the issue with that thus far is we've had down time up this point, and they haven't made any significant progress. Our builds are going to sit for some time unless there's a focus on them. .

If new tooling is indeed in the works my guess is thicker outside shell and tooling that overlaps edge to have a finished seam.

And I'm all for it so my MIC isn't a disaster. I'm just hoping Levine's statement of news is coming is actually true. He did use the s word though, which is bad luck.

Not going to lie, I'm going to be disappointed if this gets pushed ever further, but having SOMETHING from Ford with a plan an estimate would make the wait a lot easier to bear. This speculation all the time is stressful.

Exactly. Seems like to much to ask for at this point. Lol.

I posted this in the 8/9 week thread, and thought some of you here might like to see it.

(my blend date is tomorrow)

(Regarding a stop ship order on hard tops)

Emailed my dealer about this:

Have read that there is a “stop ship” order on all Broncos with hard tops.

Do you know if this is true? If so, any indication on how long after my Bronco is built before it’ll ship?

If thats true we have not heard anything about it. We looked earlier. Shows yours should be DELIVERED by the 31st of August. So yours might not be affected if thats the case.

Hope this gives some of us some hope after the bomb that was just dropped.

<ine is to be delivered by jul 30th and it still says so in their system. it hasn't left the plant, i wouldn't believe them.

I say schedule no more hard tops and fix the ones they have first. It's only fair.

I also have one stuck in the lot for over a month. Trying to maintain the excitement and anticipation with no end date is frustrating. But I honestly worry more about the line workers at Ford and all the part suppliers having steady work and income. What is fair for them is that Ford does everything they can to keep the line moving. If that means I have to wait, then I wait. I don’t want more people out of work so I get my Bronco sooner.

Don't believe it till it is on a train or truck, and they have the #.

I believe every word he’s telling me.

Whether he’s being given the correct information, that’s debatable.

They can be paid to put the new tops on...

This is why there 30 page threads every couple of days. Such speculation makes everyone think that will be the case for them as well.

It's funny how people hate dealers and think they have no clue what they're talking about until they tell you what you want to hear. He likely has good intentions, but probably doesn't have the latest info from Ford.
