It really sucks for all you folks with vehicle contingencies. I turned in a lease early last summer and have been driving my dad’s 20+ old station wagon in the interim. My son hates it. It’s old and not fun but it’s free and allows me the luxury of waiting Ford out/ decide if I want to buy a...
Im not encouraged at all. Any “on wheels” production in chip holds from April is already parked somewhere and we’ve had no build updates in a month. Several folks on this board contend Ford has a grasp on this. I dont think Ford can see past the accounting decision that it was cheaper to...
It’s amusing Ford is doing the 90 day bump on the EDD for the April builds. They have learned nothing from the January batch or are just plane tone deaf.
Id love to listen to that shareholder call tomorrow. Id love for someone to grill Ford on plans to clear the “on wheels” inventory.
I believe the CFO did say they have realized the production cost of the “on wheels inventory” but I would think that is incomplete. There is still labor cost to retrofit the chips plus some sort of storage cost even if they are sitting in a lot with little maintenance occurring. (Ugh that...
Interesting lift from the quarterly call. What is now alarming to me is the CFO spoke of clearing inventory in Q1 and Q2 but it appears they are adding!
This is an interesting lift from the call. Thank you for sharing. What’s scary is the CFO talks about clearing out inventory in Q2 and Q3 but it appears Ford has added hell of a lot more in Q2.
Not sure if you saw but in another thread, a fellow member stated there are ppl at Ford expressing concern for abandoned customers, not everyone is pushing the higher profit priority. She could be stonewalling or this could lend credence to the fact marketing people have thrown up flags but...
Most of us waiting understand this but it’s been four months or more now with ZERO communication from Ford. Ford knew how difficult the process would be and hasnt been the least bit transparent. In fact they have completely dodged questions by referring us to the dealerships who have no...
I dont doubt the Ice Mountain Broncos need chips. Do
I have no doubt the trucks on Ice Mountain need chips. I just have lost faith that Ford has good control and plan to work through it all. The lack of communication paints the company as incompetent, unsympathetic or scared to deal with us...
Well a watched pot never boils…. Seems most of the recent deliveries I see on here are for folks who dont frequent the board! Maybe that’s my sign to take a break lol.
sorry for the coming rant….
I wish I had your optimism that Ford is trying to complete all MY 2022 orders. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Broncos waiting on Ice Mountain from January or earlier and now April. There appears to be no priority placed on these vehicles 4 months or longer...
My salesman was excited that my bronco was on it’s way. The last EDD on the tracker before they took it down was 5/21. I just laughed reading his email- he has no clue.
Maybe, maybe not. Alot of us are waiting on chip hold from January and earlier but Ford has manufactured and delivered many, many Broncos in the interim.
