🛠 8/2/21 build Week Thread

[ATLColonial]

Crossing fingers that since we were built last week we didn't get sent straight to the holding lot and moved to back of line for replacements. If they do decide to replace oldest first that would leave us the back of line...

Yeah if that's the case, then what are we looking at? Like November/December? We might not want a car delivered that's been sitting in a lot like that for 5-6 months.

can someone show a screenshot of where the 'wifi' is located. I am on the ford page with my vechicle up, but I don't see it.

Looks like we're in for a few more months of waiting.

The timeline is a bit confusing. The Awareness Communication says:

Does that mean Broncos built after July 21 that are still "In Production" but not "Built" are OK? I'm still holding out hope, but then this doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies:

I've been giving Ford a lot of leeway, but once again, I don't think the right hand even knows the left hand exists, much less has met it.

So this storm literally woke me up at 5AM just now, in addition to the line that came through about 12 hours ago.


Sorry Bad Batchers, I think our Broncos were built at the worst possible time

yep,
currently 800K out of power in Michigan.

I'll add to the confusion. I was originally a 7/19 build, pushed to 8/2. Asked my dealer on 7/29 if it was realistic that I'd get built the following week. He responded on 7/30 with a copy of the vehicle invoice from Ford to him and it was dated 7/21.

In my manufacturing world, we don't receive factory invoicing until something is built.

thank you !!!

When you get your account set up, click on “View Vehicle Details” and scroll down until you see sync box then WiFi box. You wil have had to enter your Vin into your account to see it otherwise you will just be able to see “ reservations and orders” good luck!

That looks like the recall notice being sent to the people who already have their cars, which implies to me to that no Broncos with hardtops built after July 21 have been shipped.

For what it's worth, we might be the biggest winners (or least losers) in this scenario. Ours car will likely sit in the lot the least amount of time of any of these Bronco, and we're more likely than not going to get them before the end of the year. Even in the most optimistic timeline, anyone scheduled to have been built today or later will be getting theirs around Christmas at the earliest.

The Order Holder FAQ does now have me thinking they'll hold onto the bad MIC top builds and replace the tops there rather than ship to dealers and replace later.

It looks like this is the sort-of order for good MIC tops:

• new builds, a few First Editions, 2doors, Wildtracks and others going forward, but not many, and no new VINS or new scheduling
• replacing the "bad batch broncos" from June, then July, then eventually us August folks, probably into late Sept or October
• replacing the already-delivered tops through dealers (starting October-ish per the FAQ)

So...another 6-8 weeks? Maybe? Who knows.

That's not how I read it: based on NickP's comments on the first page, it sounds like the priority will be to clear out the backlog and then build out FE's. They're also supposed to notify people with currently built cars in September, while they specifically say October for everyone else. Who knows how it will actually work, but I suspect that, in an optimistic scenario, we start seeing our roofs replaced and cars shipped in mid-to-late October. Thanksgiving might the most realistic delivery estimate, IF everything does well.

This is the kind of variation that makes for good drinking games/bets. Granted I want to be optimistic, and I can totally see that read in the communications. I hope to be eating my pineapple (and pepperoni) pizza in October for my birthday rather than Thanksgiving, though.

No doubt! Considering how many missed expectations we've had so far, I'm trying to adjust my expectations accordingly.
