ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

I’m referring to his buddies that want to wait and see it, from what I understand once these start going out they will up the price.

Sorry, being a smartass I know. Just feeling a little prickly about the topic. Once every few weeks we have to get it out of our systems so we can reset and be positive again..again.

No worries, I thought that might be the case but I also wasn’t sure if I was clear enough. I did get the joke though and even chuckled a little bit lol

I was recently told Sept/October for my day 1 pre-order. When I asked if this date would stick, they said that is when they advised Sept/Oct. Fingers crossed.

Did they happen to give you the year?

That’s the same timing that I was recently told and I was an August (22) order. Welp, guess I’ll be lucky to have it “before the snow flies- part 2”…. Wifey is getting restless

Ah, so they’re already starting to plant the seed of another delay, was September… now it’s “Sept/Oct”…

Don't worry. They'll have a new video telling you how great it is very soon.

@ADV Fiberglass should release some "beta" ones to B6G members who have been here a while, with high reaction and post counts, and engagement in the community.

I was next to a highly modified bronco just now.
Massive tires, wildtrat,hood,fenders etc all custom. I wonder if it was adv product.
All painted flat black in textured paint.
There is a bronco painted flat white texture at rex marine.
I like the black much better.

Well the wife has pretty much reached her limit. She just got off the phone with them and was told mid to late October for a day 1 preorder. This is her totally independent of what we all discuss here on the forum - she has never read any of these threads and I don't tell her about it other than estimated delivery dates. She just knows what they have told her every 16 weeks on the phone. Anyhow she was told today the reason is problems with the injection and quality and something to do with the paint/color and they want to ship perfect units obviously. Can't blame them for that and that is what all buyers want to receive.

it is scary to think that all those unis they previously manufactured in all likelihood had to be scraped so anything siting around in those old videos looking like ready to assemble panels and tops was literally trash or they would have started shipping individual orders like Anderson does.

Her stance is that it is literally becoming a Ponzi scheme where future orders are paying for the wasted materials and labor on all those "B" grade units. I've got no evidence that she is wrong at this point. If they had it figured out one unit should have shipped by now. Any who has visited the operation know if this company big enough to absorb this? Sorry to be a downer but that was literally 15 minutes ago.

Edit: she was old they have it figured out so that is hopeful.

Seems pretty on point with what we're seeing on here with the timing. Unreal... Maybe they shouldn't have done pre-orders until more of this was figured out. Previous ADV mentioned that the issues were "no big deal," but this sounds more serious.

They should stop giving us these false dates of hope - How many times has the date shifted now?
