Micro chip hold causing delivery delays

[Wanted33]

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "when the chips are down".

I think it’s bullshit. If it was a chip issue why are there 21’s and 22’s getting delivered.

Currently they are prioritizing convoy order to hold. Yes there are chips and deliveries but some shortages. In inventory. This recent round yesterday seems they changed many people at once to 2/28 who had an earlier date. So not all but many.

Can’t wait for my first ever brand new car to sit outside in a Michigan snow storm for a month. Honestly I’d be happier if they hadn’t even built it yet.

Wife and I were at six different dealerships on Saturday, none of them Ford, looking to test drive a variety of new sedans as we get closer to replacing her bmw. Toyota, Lexus, Infinity, Honda, Mercedes…none of them had a new sedan of the type we wanted to drive, and all of them said an order would be 4-6 months out minimum, no guarantees. The big Lexus dealer had only two new vehicles on their lot. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s not just Ford Broncos, it’s everyone.

How does that song go? something, something, love the the one your with?

Is there a reliable way to see if I've been added to that list? Ford tracker not loading my stuff today (it's hit or miss every day), and I'm assuming the window sticker I can see that has not changed will give no indicator? Blend date is Friday.

Mine is set to be build tomorrow. I’m only a couple hundred miles from the plant. I’d drive up and get it if allowed? Has anyone done this? I’m sick and tired of waiting. I am an early reservation holder and I’m about at my Witt’s end!!
Might just trade the dam thing for a 22 expedition anyway!!

So they are shipping rail first, then convoy later? That sucks. I'm a half hour from MAP.

article from detroit paper

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/b...hortage-could-shut-down-factories/9213352002/

"Companies that use semiconductors are down to less than five days of inventory – a sharp drop from 40 days in 2019, according to a department survey of 150 companies. The chips used in the production of automobiles and medical devices are especially scarce."

Wonder if the chip delay is just 2.7s. Someone posted that 2.7s are on hold, but that was a "my dealer said"

I have also noticed a lot of 2.3 being scheduled in February

idk if anyone has answered this but I am a 2.3 and have a chip delay

You are lying!

I've read content from a lot of B6g forum members and this whole thing is JUST FORD, and it's on purpose and it's intentional to ensure that every single one of us has to suffer because Ford hates us.

Every other manufacturer is running at 100% capacity right now except Ford because Ford are the dummy dum-dums and hate us!!!!

Don't be sheep, read these forums and educate yourself, there is no global chip shortage, it's all smoke and mirrors to beguile you from the truth: Ford is trying not to build vehicles on purpose!

You are a sheeple, good sir.

Here I went and sold my 2018 f150 right after I ordered a bronco in December and was told I would get the bronco in May. Sounds like it could be a year or more now. I guess I’ll be driving my 2011 mazda 2 for some time. On the plus side, I am not making any vehicle payments so my wallet is a lot fatter!

You should see my sheeple piercings. They get all the girls in the yard.

Did you try the chicken and waffles flavor?
