With the sobering news on the chip shortage for 2022 and multiple car companies cutting production, I would say that bronco6g wont be the only forum voicing their strong words.

There is a lot of great information on this forum which is awesome, but with all of that information constantly available I'm having trouble gaging the state of production as of October 2021. I mean are things getting "better" are they getting "worse" are they about the same...?

I see a lot of people with June/July build dates that say they are getting rescheduled multiple times.

When the email came out saying if you didn't have a VIN you're getting pushed to '22, I didn't have a VIN, but then last week I got a November 15th build week email. Does that mean they are making progress?

I guess my question really is, are more recent build dates getting rescheduled as much (or fewer times) than newer build dates?
All things being equal I will venture to say that with this sentence it leads me to believe that things may be getting a bit better.

I'm a 7/25 reservation holder. Nothing was happening until I changed from Dual, Modular/Soft tops to just a soft top. Got may build notice in September that it was going to be built on 10/11 and I received a VIN. A couple of weeks ago, it was moved to 10/4. Yesterday, it started showing that it was "In Production", so I'm pretty stoked. Not sure when I'll get it, but I'm glad it is being built.

You ordered, well it will be built, Maybe. It will be there soon,
no not yet, delivery, we will only reschedule 3 ok maybe 4 times.
Dirt hill is not real, its like area 51. 2022's will be built in December
so you should have your 2021 by January 2022. it all makes sense
if you drink enough :)

They say David Copperfield is a Master illusionist,

It couldn't have gotten much worse since reservations opened up. I'm sure some on here have ideas on how it could have, I like staying positive. Plus since we lost our insiders, we really don't know either way.
That reminds me. Does anyone know the outcome of The Stig's review? I really hope everything worked out for him.

If you've been on DM, things are probably getting much better. For those not yet built, it may come down to what your build is or if your dealer has allocations left and much more. Time is quickly running out for 21's.

Ford is on pace to build 45,000 Broncos this year. They’re on the other side of a lot of clouds. Ford isn’t finished improving but I think they’re much better than they were 90 days ago.

So i literally had a reservation 6 minutes after the site opened, right before it crashed for the 1st time, i then converted my order my self on 1/19 i think? whatever the first day was, i am a dealership employee and have access to WBDO and my truck was built on 7/12. and there it sits...................... so, nothing is better, i traded my raptor in for it while the market was super hot and now i am 47 years old and dont own a car....... my mother would be ashamed, rest her soul...........
Well…at least you’ve got that “bong” thing happening! lol 😤

7/13 9:08pm res. There's no Bronco in my driveway.

Things are definitely not getting better.
They would be if you would just "Stay Pumped". ;)

Is someone going to make a “Stay Pumped!” sticker so I can put it on my Bronco when I finally get it?
Something like this?!?

How many of those will be 2-doors though?

MIC tops are actually being produced = Getting better.

However, until the vendor can produce 800 good tops a day, which is what is needed to support 2:1 Bronco/Ranger production, we are still in "not good" territory.

We have seen that they can make good tops, but we don't know how many. So, until we see October production numbers we won't know.
