Seriously? Take things personal much? Just chill out, we're all navigating this $#!+ creek without a paddle!

He flat out called me ignorant. You can sit this one out.

Woah!, he did not call YOU personally an idiot! If you feel that way, maybe it hits true! Sorry darling, but I will sit where I please!

Mine has been at 7/28 since Saturday. I give up.

No, they forgot to update the year to 2022...

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere... but does anyone know what triggers the status change e-mails to go out from Ford and when they go out? I assume they go out in batches, and I am wondering if they go out once/day only (like in the morning)... or if throughout the day. I am waiting on baited breath for my "Built" e-mail

They seem to be middle of the night. No ones knows why, or even what some of the dates and triggers mean. What is the 'end date'? Which is two weeks after is was built....but no 'built' notifications yet. I know 'release date' means something since they'll likely set it to ship from there...but we're free to speculate since Ford doesn't communicate. Wait, maybe they're mailing us stuff like Henry would have a decade ago.

I mentioned this earlier, but let me go into more detail (and still use layman's terminology).

The drivers get a list of trucks to drive over to the MAP using an unknown voodoo decision making process. Let's assume it's FIFO, but I can't say for certain.
So, the truck is driven over and the top is replaced. Someone on the MAP crew then makes an update in the computer that the truck is done. This update goes into a database field next to the VIN for that particular truck.
Sometime after the end of the business day some computer nerd (like me) starts a series of programs called End-of-Day (EOD) processing.
Somewhere in the EOD is a program that looks for updates in certain database fields. If it finds one, it sends the appropriate email (scheduled, built, shipped, etc.) to the email address in the database for that particular VIN.
When the email portion of the EOD runs depends on the volume of updates for the day. This would be across all models lines, so there's probably more than just Bronco owners receiving email.
From what I've seen, the emails tend to go out between 2:00 to 5:00 AM Eastern.

I hope this helps.

It's not like he called you emotional and irrational...

Lisa,

You are correct, I acted/typed inappropiately.
I sincerly apologize.

We have all come here to vent throughout this ordeal (many many many many many many times) and I should have allowed you the same courtesy.

It's important to me that your experience with Broncos and the Bronco family is a GREAT one.
I'm a bit ashamed for not acting in a manner that reinforces that ideal.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to correct that in some small measure.

So did you hack ford’s server’s to get your MIC replaced early?! Lucky guy!

Dude, if I could do that I'd already have mine and would be charging y'all $50 bucks a head. Instead, I'm waiting for October.

Might be a little late to the party but has anyone’s ETA end date change on the B6G tracker? Mine did?

My ETA end date changed from 1-1-90 over the weekend to 8-21-2021.
