man I think I need an intense therapeutic cry over this whole situation lmao it feels like trying to get through a break up - burning with anger all day and wanting so badly to make them (ford) see sense, then having to accept that you have no control over anyone but yourself ๐คง
y'all I am kinda dreading whatever update we're supposed to get tomorrow ๐ I'm trying not to dwell but I am so worried they're gonna straight up say "we have no idea when we'll finish your broncos"...
this is true, at least we can feel like there's some progess while the bronco is en route. I think mine will take a month too, to get to north texas. I would make the trip up there just to see my bronco and possibly test drive it even if I can't take it home yet
it's available but Ford refuses to give them to us instead of the production line. I don't know what we need to do to force their hand on this situation ๐
this is what I'm torn between re: shipping them incomplete - wanting to get the shipping process out of the way and have my dealer periodically exercise my bronco vs. being out of sight out of mind to Ford.
yessssss I love to see it ๐๐ we need some email addresses of Ford execs so we can exercise a little journaling therapy. they need to be reminded of the millions of dollars they have rotting in parking lot, and the future millions they have lost due to their complete and utter disregard for their...

the article you shared literally says "... executives told dealers in a meeting here Saturday, according to three people present." "... and dealers who attended the meeting said the company did not discuss what nameplates were involved."
the sources for this article are ford dealers.
it was a "dealer said that Ford said" thing which to me is the same
"...executives told dealers in a meeting here Saturday, according to three people present. [...] and dealers who attended the meeting said the company did not discuss what nameplates were involved."
listen I sure want my salesperson to be mistaken about this but Ford has done literally nothing so far to lead me to believe they will be practical or reasonable. and the original article with this information is still a "dealer said" situation with no direct quotes from Ford about the broncos...
maybe it depends on the dealership, but I just learned mine will not allow us to take the incomplete bronco due to "safety issues" and "the vehicle won't function properly" ๐ญ๐ค๐คฌ so now i'm convinced shipping my bronco will only delay pickup even more. this whole process has sucked so bad.
I emailed my salesman about the plan to ship incomplete broncos and this is what he said for his dealership:
"We are going to be a part of Ford's Bailment agreement so vehicles will be stored here at the dealership until the components arrive. We will not be able to let customers pick them up...
