I wonder if we are wrong to keep blaming the delay on COVID. What if it's as simple as Ford's original plan not working, and we just assumed all along it was due to COVID?
I think we'd be really naive and living under a rock to think that a world wide pandemic that shut down over half the planet would have 0 effect on Ford's shipping plans.

Interesting....When I logged into the FordPass app (for the 100th time today), I saw a message at the top saying "Ford Pass Connect, active this vehicle in vehicle details to...."....well, when I click on Vehicle Details, there's nothing new there. There is no button to "activate". Oh...for the record, the last 5 of my VIN is 06215 and my build week was 6 December.
My app got really weird as the car was in the final stages and when completed I had the activate option on the second page.

Did I say 'zero' effect?
Anything above 0 is considered as having an affect. Its either the pandemic delayed or it didnt there's no in between. In any case i dont see any of us getting this car this year which is not surprising.

Damn. I think they covered every crackpot tinfoil hat conspiracy in about 2 square feet of tailgate.
No, there's no anti-vaxxer sticker ?

Does anyone know the approximate capacity of a typical rail transport?
Something like 20 MME will fit in a rail car, and they can pull 400 rail cars at once = 8000 per transport.
I don't know how many MME cars would fit onto a 400 car train, but I think they can load them in about 17 minutes. LOL.

I suspect if we listed all the crazy theory, there wouldn't be enough room on a single vehicle for all the stickers.
Maybe not but some will try
