Remember that recent pro-am golf tournament where four players showed up in Mach Es? The entire KC Chiefs team will be driving Mach Es from KC to Tampa Bay for the Super Bowl.

I'm willing to pick mine up in Tampa.

If it gets me a ticket to the Super Bowl then sure, they can use mine. Oh, also want pictures of such and a truck of my MME to NJ. Heck might get it sooner this way

Why do I feel like Mahomes is going to heft his with one hand towards the end-zone and Hill will actually jump up, catch it and SPIKE it?

Very interesting... " these are the result of an “industrialization issue” with a single supplier. In the Bronco’s case, this supplier is Webasto which has problems delivering the roof. For the Mustang Mach-E, Thai-Tang declined to name the supplier."

“That’s becoming the norm,” Thai-Tang said. “You can order something on Amazon, and they’ll tell you exactly where it is. I think that’s something the customers are going to expect with their interactions with automotive OEMs as well.”

So the actual reason for the delay is:

Darren Palmer was driving his Mach-e in the Detriot area. He pulled into an EA DCFC station and ...

There was an ICE vehicle parked in the charging spot. A 2021 Chevrolet Z1 Camaro. In Wild Cherry Tintcoat. Just parked there. Blocking the charging spot. Taunting the little defenseless Mustang Mach-e. So being the sensible sort of Englishman he is, Mr. Palmer gave a little tap on the Mach-e's horn. Much to his surprise, the National Anthem of Mexico played. This obviously didn't move the Wild Cherry Tintcoat Z1 Chevrolet Camaro. So Mr. Palmer had to wait for the car to move. And wait. And wait. His tea went from scalding to merely far too hot to drink during the wait. That caused Mr. Palmer to miss the meeting finalizing the very first Mustang Mach-e OTA update. The meeting where they were going to add the Horse Whiny sound effect to the Mach-e. He also missed afternoon tea. Never make Mr. Palmer's tea less than 2nd degree burn hot. Ever.

An immediate investigation ensued. It seems a disgruntled Ford sedan aficionado hacked the computers at the Cuautitlan Stamping and Assembly Plant and inserted the song. The full, long version of the song. His goal was to call attention to the loss of the much-heralded Ford Fiesta. The cars all passed quality checks with literally flying colors. The workers failed to see an issue and responded by hiding tiny paper Mexico flags in various nooks and crannies in the car.

So Ford now has to put the proper "beep" in for the horn and issue update 1a "Horse Whinny." Otherwise, Mr. Palmer may go from mildly miffed to somewhat miffed. You don't want to see him when that happens. The flags? Ford is leaving them in their hiding spots as a consolation gift for the new owners.

Rumor has it, though, that agents of the owner of the "Mr. Ed Show" have been seen near the factory carrying suspicious-looking computer flash drives filled with FLAC tracks. Apparently, these operative are all named WILBUR.

There's a big problem with missing inventory. No one can find the Infinite Blue cars. Most of them turn out to be Carbonized Gray. Many Space Whites appear to be missing as well. All cars are being shipped to the Speedway to await a sunny day for color testing.

So... Space and Star Whites are being routed to...space, Rapid Reds are being shipped to Total Wine, Carbonized Gray are undergoing carbon encasement testing by Mandelorians, Grabber Blues are hijacked somewhere and Infinite Blues are to infinity and beyond. It’s a wonder anyone’s getting a car delivered.

The Infinite Blue is in short supply due to it being created by breeding the Grabber Blue & Carbonized Gray. The gestation period is 6 weeks and one of the parent eats the other one.

But what became of the camaro? Inquiring minds want to know ?

Bill Ford wander into the parking area gingerly holding an oversized travel mug. Steam from his scalding, third-degree burn hot jumbo-sized cup of Earl Grey tea was writhing about his neck and head in the cold Michigan air. He was juggling the oversized mug along with a warm blueberry scone from Common Grace Coffee Company when he spotted Darren in the idled and lonely Mach-e. He gave Darren a halfhearted salute with his scalding hot Earl Grey jump cup. Darren was aghast, his tea was now merely hot.

Bill hopped in his Wild Cherry tintcoat Camaro Z1 and chirped the tires and sped home. He loves that car.

Ford has only been able to order finite amounts of blue. It just isn't enough
