3M supplies almost all of the semiconductor grade PFAS. If the foundries stockpiled them, maybe, but I don't believe there is an "alternative source".

3M makes the vast majority of PFAS (coolant used in the production of semiconductors). They make them at a plant in Belgium. The plant is being shut down in order to make improvements to comply with EU emissions standards. Since the cost is 150 million Euro, it's a pretty good guess that the...

Thank you.

Ford is not taking any more orders for them. https://fordauthority.com/2022/02/2022-ford-bronco-production-maxed-out-ford-to-stop-taking-orders/

Do we have any figures on March production of 6G Broncos? Patiently awaiting my sixth big Bronco.

It's more like 10-15 thousand a month. John

Doesn't Ford have an "extreme conditions" factor? Cutting the miles between oil changes in half? As I recall, driving on dirt roads is considered operating under extreme conditions.

That seems unlikely. That's a LOT of Broncos to build in ten days.

Analog-style Tach! It can be done. How much would you pay to upgrade your current display?

https://www.autonews.com/suppliers/earthquake-prompts-renesas-suspend-output-japan-semiconductor-plants Now, following a fire at Ford chip supplier Renesas’ plant in Japan last year, the same company has been forced to suspend operations at three of its Japanese plants after a major earthquake...

You would be amazed at how often it happens. Typically the gas station's insurance covers it.

My order is for a 2-door Badlands, I4, 7sp, no packages. I live at 8,300' ASL, on top of a Colorado foothill. My 0.7 mile dirt driveway connects to a dirt county road. This will be my sixth Bronco, all with sticks. In other words, tech doesn't mean much to me. I'm old school with regard to my...

It looks like a representative sample of the people on the forums. There are a lot of Bronco orders out there that do not participate in Bronco6G. It will be interesting to see if we are like the rest of them.

You better be short to drive that.

It could be worse. We could be in line for the Mach-E.

I don't think that they began to anticipate the demand, the hardtop problems or the chip shortage.

Yes, I test-drove a 2-door Badlands with the I-4 and MT. I'm also a greybeard. The tach is a useless vertical bar (thermometer) graph. Over the years, I have owned five "Big" Broncos, all with manual transmissions and analog tachs. I'm going to attempt to add a traditional tach to mine, whenever...

The problem is which options you specified. I will bet that most are non-Sasquatch, no trailer pkg, no hardtop.
