Haha, "soon". Great pics, that is my color and build too. My pics will probably have a lot less leaves on the trees and maybe more of white background by the time I get mine.
I also think the "all FE's will be built as MY21" will be a tall task. They basically have to ensure there are zero delays in their proposed timeline. Especially if they are doing on-road, DMB's and then FE tops.
@Nickp If I am a MIC top scheduled for 8/30 build week. The assumption is we all get moved? And can we switch to a hard top so we don't get pushed to the end of the year?
I spoke with my dealer today and they basically told me "nope sorry you are out of luck". Since I am "scheduled" they can't make any changes. Which is f*ing ridiculous @Ford Motor Company because we all know that date won't stick. Much like the 6 previous dates I was given.
I already have a VIN and a "build week" of 8/30 so they won't let me switch or else I would have. Now I see all the 8/30 soft toppers getting build dates knowing mine will be pushed to October at the earliest - which really sucks. @Ford Motor Company It would have been really nice if you had let...
What's really infuriating to me is that if they were open and honest about the MIC delays two weeks ago, I would have switched my Badlands MIC order (scheduled for 8/30) and now I am watching all the soft tops get scheduled for that week - knowing that mine will get pushed way out.
You will be sent to dirt mountain for now (a holding lot outside of MAP). Starting in October, Ford will start replacing on-road MICs, then the dirt mountain MIC tops from oldest to newest. You are probably looking at October/November delivery at the earliest and with no delays in the new MIC top.
You will be sent to dirt mountain for now. Starting in October, Ford will start replacing on-road MICs, then the dirt mountain MIC tops from oldest to newest. And then start building the rest of the FE's and whatever else they can fit in. My guess is you will be November/December based on...
What do you think they are going to put on top of the First Editions? There are currently no good MIC tops. They need to be retooled and built from scratch which doesn't start until September/October.
Don't forget they have to replace all the MICs on the road, then the ones in the dirt pile before they even build your First Edition and put a MIC on it. I would target January for when you actually get yours (and mine).
So my guess here is they will pump out soft tops for six weeks for orders and dealer stock. My FE build that was scheduled for 9/6 week will move to sometime in October (assuming their six week timeline holds :rolleyes: ) And my Badlands with a MIC with an 8/30 build will probably be pushed...
We definitely get the info before our dealers do for the most part. Half the time I am filling my local dealer GM on what's going on. He calls this forum the G6 Mafia.
I think there have been enough hints from folks on here and twitter that some sort of "update" is coming soon. I'm sure they would love to do it Saturday of Labor Day Weekend but that may be too far off now. Pressure is increasing after the recent video of the infamous bronco parking lot, August...
If I repeatedly responded to customers asking for updates with several copy and paste responses of "Stay tuned" I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a job in Sales anymore.
He's the Ford North America Product Communications Director. If he can't come up with something better than "Stay tuned" in that role than he shouldn't have a job. Even it's just a longer winded version of the same type of response. I doubt the lawyers and higher ups told him, the only thing...
