Well, it's inevitable. I purchased a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Monday. Today the Order Track app changed to awaiting shipment. If true, there's a chance I get the Bronco near the 7/26 EDD. Plan right now is to take delivery of the Bronco too and hold them both for a month and see what...

Well friends, it's been fun. I'm out. I just bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, pretty fully loaded. Sick of waiting for a July 26th delivery that likely won't happen. I'll flip the Bronco when it arrives. I've got a bunch of accessories, including a Diabolical Slipstream system, some of...

Should be, yep. But with some of the recent clarifications from folks on this thread, I’ll sort it out over the weekend. But I think even so, from back of the envelope adjustments, seems like there’s a solid five figures worth of Broncos in purgatory. And I think the locus of suck is Dirt...

Great, thanks for that clarification. That makes the missing Bronco number bigger, offset by some of the suggestions from folks earlier. I'll make those updates when I refresh and refine the model over the weekend.

I've been a douche to the @Ford Motor Company crew on Twitter and was quoted in the Automotive News article. Wanna bet who's Bronco from the week is dead ass last?

When I get a chance I’ll do a version that completely backs out those first few months and tries to account for the other categories explicitly with some estimates. I believe that after I do that, there’s still some number greater than 10K but less than the 23 or 24K I guessed as missing that...

I’d have to go back to read the footnotes on Fords month reports but I believe that “sold” is bookable revenue so that would mean sold to dealer. “Produced” should mean completed vehicles but, clearly, it doesn’t given the demand for the vehicle.

Yep, that could be reasonably close to the truth as well, although MAYBE some of the CarGurus Broncos are being syndicated from the dealership websites, so some of those might be double-counted with the ones already in transit. I'll be the number is tickling 5 figures given what I've seen in...

My bet is Ford is cannibalizing them and this one slipped through.

Mike Martinez wrote an article in today's Automotive News about the delays and lack of communication from Ford. I was quoted! I'm hoping our #DirtMountainBronco push is getting @Ford Motor Company attention. It certainly got under the skin of @mrlevine on Twitter over the weekend. Link to the...

I noticed on my test drive a year ago how it caused the vehicle to stumble restarting from a red light. I immediately thought it was more dangerous than whatever the slight savings in gas might be, plus the wear and tear on the starter.

You're right. I don't have non-US sales here. Assume a relatively small number for Canada and, I imagine, there's a few exported to some other countries. Maybe another 1-2K? Still ~20K missing.

You forgot tick bites and hemorrhoids. Nothing is too good for Jim Farley.

Every time I see this clown's face I want to puke. Botched launch after botched launch. I wonder who in the Ford family he has pictures of. No way should he be employed at a level higher than barista.

Thanks. All good adds. Aside from number 1, the rest should be relatively small, I'd think.

I've been irritated by the recent push of my 1/17 build week EDD to July 26th. So I started tracking Ford's Bronco sales, using their official monthly updates. Here's my worksheet, if interested, updated through April 2022: Based on the data, for the first time in April, Ford started to eat...

My replies to @mrlevine inane #snowandcoffee posts on Twitter today:

@Ford Motor Company You really like trolling here, don't you? My 1/18 build is now scheduled for July 26th. And I don't believe that date. You suck.
