That of course is true. Adding some more fuel to your “fire” (ha) here are the Q1 sales compared to bronco sport. I find this astounding that we ran out of chips and that long term reservations / orders are not fulfilled. I can’t not believe the passion and committed orders for the sport are...
For all you getting a little discouraged seeing our fiends getting build and you are stuck in production here is a chart showing the big picture. You are not alone. Although the total is probably high because many may not be participating. I would guess we are near 50% build.
@coreymd and I...
Yes but they still plan for all of ford and order parts accordingly. They have to.
The plan to build 16,000 sports in one monthwhen broncos have never been half is questionable planning to me. Agree the process is complicated but there is overall planning. It’s not random.
In advance for sure. The duration ahead could be shorter but who knows. Regardless they allocate and plan. So the plans were for more sports and they didn’t run short. Agree there could be many factors but production of 16,000 sports in one month when broncos have never been half that upsets me.
Maybe but I think ford manages there overall chip order to models factories and modules. Complicated for sure. But large chip orders are placed for Ford and managed internally.
I understand the modules and the process but overall chip supply is clearly managed. Meaning they get a large chip order and allocate to factories/ models and then modules. There is no doubt it’s a complicated supply chain. The chips on the modules boards are made pre production. None the less...
I was noticing that Ford posted over 16,000 Bronco Sport sales for February. That far exceeds any monthly total for Bronco. Assuming that production is about sales since there is little inventory anywhere, that means Bronco Sport likely had a big production month in January and that is when our...
I understand when I was a week away from EDD I put my car up for sale and it sold in one day. Two days later chip hold notice. I have to travel for pickup so I needed to have things set. I have been without a car at all. Have good friend lending me and have rented when needed but just one more...
I had some of mine disappear too. This is not a ford tracker. He uses ford databases to pull info. So I’m not sure it means too much. Either a system issue not being able to get the info (likely) or Ford system is down.
I think what row on ice mountain is more of a factor than your state🤣🤣. At least they are working on them but the order is pretty much random. No change for me too.
I had them email me too as a result of a Twitter message I left. However my email just said what I already knew. Perhaps your contact was at the right time and they were able to pass this along. That certainly is an interesting status “awaiting shipment with microchip hold”. Wonder if it means...
How does that make her a “non enthusiast”? What is a non enthusiast? If you spent 50k and made it through this process you are an enthusiast by definition. It does matter if you wave, chat or other wise engage with other bronco owners or not.
