Looking at the Dirt Mountain list, your rotation number is a mere 180 before mine. Hopefully, this means I’ll get the “built” email soon. And let’s hope the airbag recall doesn’t add time to our actual release.
I ordered through @StephensAutoCenter. And I wish it were on rail or convoy. But currently it’s sitting with its bad batch brethren on Dirt Mountain.
By my mostly straight up counting method (a couple sections of approximation, due to resolution, or being hidden behind objects), I get...
4335 Broncos in that drone pic.
I was just going back and editing my post. I guess with all the dates swimming in my head, I completed mis-read that replacement schedule. I was reading @PREMiERdrum's note as "FE builds will resume later this year ... I wouldn't' expect that to happen until November ... Once that happens...
I hope so. I'm a little worried about another post in that Granger thread...
Are all FEs going to be built before they move on to those of us on Dirt Mountain? If so, a November scheduled date for this FE is not a good sign.
While I appreciate their effort (and recognize that they are also extremely frustrated and disappointed with this whole fiasco), in all honesty, I would rather they save the $ spent on the design, development, creation, and shipping of these swag items and provide an equivalent amount in...
^This^
Since they are going to keep my Bronco for an extra 4 months, I would hope they’d have a schedule of starting each one and driving it around the block at least once a month.
“’We’re trying to do everything we possibly can to take care of the customers.’ That means compensation in the form of FordPass Rewards Points ... (Note that way back in December of 2020, Ford was providing ~$300 worth of FordPass Reward Points for customers dealing with Bronco delays”
Well...
I’m not sure what it says but your corporate communications when your NA Product Communications Director tweets something pretty tone deaf, given the feelings of those stuck on Dirt Hill. He did apologize in a later tweet.
:edit since he deleted the tweet, so here’s a screenshot:
I’m not sure why people think more compensation is coming. In December, they gave everybody with an exiting reservation roughly $100 in FordPass points. Then they gave those who had ordered the MOD top roughly $1000 in FordPass points for switching to the MIC top (on the irony).
And that’s...
As I’ve processed this throughout the day, one thing that has really started to bothered me more is how they are touting “numerous customer satisfaction actions” in response to the hard top delay. But none of these actions have anything to do with providing a satisfaction from the hard top...
I have no insight in to what it would cost. but obviously Ford's calculations conclude that the cost to ship (plus adding a certain percentage for loss, damage, and reship) approximately 2200+ tops is less than the cost to store the vehicles, plus the time value of money for the unrealized...
They simply did a financial analysis. What's the cost of shipping out new roofs to 2200+ bad batch builds, vs. cost of storing and "maintaining" 2200+ builds for 4-5 months. Obviously, their calculations showed that storing and maintaining was more cost effective. To Ford, at least.
Yup. Unbelievable, isn't it? Based on what's been posted re: schedule, our July builds will be sitting unstarted, unprotected, and unwashed, in the Michigan weather, with bad roofs, for 4-5 months. With no compensation (other than what was announced months ago). Can't be good for lots of...
I'm sure it's just a temporary technical glitch with the reference, but it does not inspire confidence to see that the picture of my build on the tracker has been replaced by the generic Ford logo.
