Tell us about it. I am one of many 2021 orders about. All we are wanting is a formal clarification on our models and a confirmation that our cars will be prioritized when and if the chips become available instead of building more higher margin 2022 vehicles as per Mr. Farley.
I agree with you. However, I wonāt be stewing if my car isnāt here next year at this time and still expected to be a ā22. I donāt need it that badly to put up with that kind of crappy service.
I also reserved a Bronco . . . 18+ months so far on that, no build date yet . . .
I ordered a GT with the premium delay and deluxe postponement.
Ford apologists?? I agree with your statement generally that a forum such as this can be useful in challenging missives and incompetence, but I think we should take a step back and realize how insidious the problems have been in this pandemic. Remember, there are hundreds of key parts that come from suppliers all over the globe, many of whom require suppliers themselves for various components. With he supply chain debacle and shortages/delays hitting nearly every industry, things will obviously back up at every stage in the production process. Surely Ford can be blamed for some of the turbulence in the process, but it would seem the lion's share of the pain we have endured is a direct result of worldwide pandemic impacts.
How about where most of the chips in the cars are built is in the wrong direction. (China) I live not far from where Intel is being built, I embrace it coming here. We also have the nayerās that donāt want it near them. So part of the solution, we need to stop being self reliant on other countries for our tech shop. Americans like ācheapā, so now you are going to have to wait on your product. I waited 1 year and 2 extra months for my Mache and never complained, because I understood the situation we are in and still are. For the extra 250 free charging, Iām grateful For Ford doing so. Does anyone remember back in the 2008 crash and how we all were affected including car manufacturers? Well, the Ford Motor Company didnāt take the loans the government gave out. They didnāt need the hand out. I feel they are managing this situation in a good faith business manner. So STOP venting in the wrong direction.
Most donāt, point being; why patients is a virtue.
And Ford over-achieved for you. In addition to delivering both the premium delay and the deluxe postponement, they threw in at no extra charge doses of ambiguity and opaqueness.
My point being, you singled out Americans, and blamed us for a universal human preference.
You and I are in the same boat. I go back and forth between "this is Ford just being Ford", to pissed that they got me again.
It is what is Phil. How about āallā walks of humans, is this better? So Iām not bothered by you picking my āAmericanāsā apart! No matter how you look at, what we are dealing with now, the negativity response is not necessary. If someone wants a product do the research before ordering. Covid is still alive!
Big finger syndrome! So your perfect? Bet your not? Appreciate the correction.
