Saw that.
Lots of things at Ford don't make sense. If they already have all these pictures searchable by VIN, why not pop up a website where people can type their VIN and see a picture of their Bronco.
Even if pictures are stored on an old system that can't handle the load, push the pictures...
I think this is true based on the number of rail transports that have already shipped. Many convoy transports have seen their dates slip, but assume that's a convoy issue and not a hold. Makes sense to get the rail deliveries going first due to the extended travel time.
BTW - I think...
"Produced" is a secondary status. The primary status "In Production". I can't find the graphic anymore but it's here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/%F0%9F%9B%A0-4-4-22-build-week-group-now-with-google-doc.35884/post-1356354

Those were the days :)
And when kids that are born today are old enough to order a car, they'll do a 360ยฐ virtual audit and accept delivery. Then they'll tell their app delivery info and the car will quietly drive itself to their drop spot.
Lol. It's not just Broncos. Pop into any Ford forum and you'll recognize the chaos. Same issues. Bronco community is just a few levels more intense.
There are a few companies that love Ford's processes...Anheuser-Busch, Smirnoff, and the like ๐
If you have a reservation before 3/19/20, you can call Bronco Marketing and get your certificate number in the Smart Vincent system. You should also have a March 25 email from Ford. This will establish that you have full price protection. The certificate only covers the 2021 to 2022 price...
I hope it holds for you!
This is the exact conversation I had with Ford chat at lunchtime today. I told them I was about to book a flight to come to pick it up so "how sure are you?". Emily said, "it will be there on or before 4/28". My dinnertime refresh proved Emily was wrong.
I'd be more...
I'm in the 4/11 group and just had my EDD update from 4/22-4/28 to 4/30-5/6 around the same time as you. I'm sure you've experienced worse but this is my third move.
Have to wonder if 4/30-5/6 is the 'new' 4/28.
Did anyone else with a backdoor link (or chat) and a 4/28 date see their date move in the last few hours?
Wondering whether I should remain optimistic and travel to NJ hoping to get it next week or take a hint from the fact that I'm experiencing a pattern: 4/17, 4/21, 4/22, and now 4/30.
When they communicate my move from 4/21 to 4/22 it changed to 4/22. It changed to 4/23 earlier today, hours before my EDD moved.
But it's changed a few times along the way for no visible reason.
Edit: I noticed the change to 4/23 earlier today. I'm assuming it changed on 4/23.
FYI - My EDD just changed to 4/30-5/6. Ford likely working out the details for the slew of 4/28 EDDs.
Changed two hours after I confirmed 4/28 with customer service then booked my flight to NJ for 4/28ish pickup.
Given the overload on the 4/28 date and the acknowledged convoy log jam, I'm not...
Interesting post in the 4/4 build group regarding convoy deliveries and the 4/28 date
