Waiting room

[Mister E]

so today my Estimated Delivery Date also changed from 7/12 to 10/31.
This is just nuts and Ford doesn't seem to have a handle on this situation.

Got the same today

Mine got the 10/31 update this morning

 

[Terri Romano]

Well I joined the club, according to Ford Marketing my BS was built on 6/11 EST eta was 7/17 now went to 10/31

with so many slated for october 31 that seems awfully random...I certainly hope for all of you that is just the furthest reach projection with chip availability as a hinge pin.

Just sitting here in purgatory waiting and waiting and waiting since February.....

I am hoping the same. I figured they were expecting some chips delivered to make the mid July dates and that shipment is delayed from the supplier.

or at least that's the lie I tell myself

ours has looked like this the entire time. it has been in production for two weeks but no dates at all.

Well here it is. The last line must be some sadist joke from FORD.

"Great news! Your 2021 Bronco™ Sport SUV Badlands has been built – which means it won’t be long before you’re able to go off-road and off to places you’ve never been before.

Our current estimate for delivery to {Dealer Name Deleted} is between October 25, 2021 and October 31, 2021.

Undoubtedly, this is an exciting moment for you."

Oh, well I thought it would end this way.

What did the tracker say for your ETA?

This is exactly where mine hangs when I go to the tracking, albeit a few weeks later on the ordering date. I have a VIN - but nada else besides an ever elusive build date.

The glass is always mostly empty side of me guesses that the chips have been redirected to Bronco. Also as Ford has promised a fall release of the Maverick, Maverick will get chips before we do and it wont be until after the first surge of Mavericks that ours get chips.

It would be interesting to order a Maverick and see which gets delivered first.

I really, really hope I'm wrong and when the plant reopens we all get chips and they all get put on trains.

It used to N/A for the delivery date before I got the email, now it is 10/31.
Even though the email says that it has been built, the tracker says "In Production"

A lot of high option Badlands have Build Weeks in July, Aug, Sept. So are those ppl gonna get date pushes or get built and put in a yard? Will interesting to see how it plays out. I think a lot of rough waters ahead. A lot of waiting a lot of uncertainty. And articles on the web, do not know how accurate, say Ford is impacted the most more then any other manufacturer.

this thread mentioned that production on the 2022's is supposed to start on 11/1/21. Now I'm not sure if that's legit but it's curious just the same:

So apparently Ford lets the unfinished F150s sit in the lots and then builds/ships new completed trucks after incomplete units are sitting on lots. So later builds get parts priority over unfinished sitting on lots units. F150 customers are saying they got the 10/31/21 delivery dates too. So Ford might do the same with the BS. Units waiting for chips sit while they build/ship new completed units:
