Waiting room

[Billy the Kid]

Folks, there might be some light on the horizon for you waiting on chips. In an article today (Chips Coming?), it appears Ford is getting committed to finishing partially built vehicles first. Take a read!!! About half way through the article.

Let the chips fall where they may!

Thank you for sharing this article.....lets hope Ford actually does prioritize the vehicles that have already been built and are waiting the chips.

Probably because all the F150 ppl who have ordered trucks sitting in lots waiting for parts while Ford build ships new complete units. Will Ford really prioritize built units with missing parts? Them saying they will is a glimmer of hope....

Early last week I got the 10/31 date. Prior to, had the 7/12 date. Looked like I had it again but quickly bounced back to 10/31

3 month push out is pathetic.

I just read this on my Seeking Alpha home page. Lets hope that their sending chips our way!

Ford said it was diverting its scarce semiconductor
supply to finish nearly completed vehicles that are awaiting
chips before being sent to dealers, whose lots are emptying out.

"We're prioritizing completing our customers' vehicles that
were assembled without certain parts due to the industrywide
semiconductor shortage," Ford said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg.
"This is in line with our commitment to get our customers their
vehicles as soon as possible."

I take that to mean we are not the customers, dealerships are Ford's customers - the places with empty lots.

I took it to mean you are a customer with an order and cash in hand. Dealers need you as a completed sale. Everyone is pinched. I just posted a link sharing only 36% of semiconductors are tagged for the auto industry. There are many other consumer applications under the same complications.

My dealer told me that they were told not to expect cars for the lots until at least August. I've decided that if my Bronco doesn't come in by Sept, that I'm going to cancel my order and buy a 2022. I don't want a car that's sat in the sun for 4+ months. I've waited this long, what's a few more months.

I interpret as Ford is prioritizes customer ordered vehicles over dealer inventory. Ford is really pushing the order a vehicle concept.

Same here. If Ford cant get it to me by August I am going to order a '22 and some one else can pay over sticker for my ordered '21 that baked in desert sun for several months.

My delivery is still still 7/6. My dealer salesman in Albany said that it is currently in Buffalo and should arrive in Albany/selkirk yard "soon"

OB/OB (w/o moon) w/ tow, ordered on 3/31.

My delivery somehow was moved up. I got mine on 6/23.

Yeah it seems like the delivery eta is exceptionally long and most arrive weeks before the eta. Congrats and enjoy!

I'm really pleased. I got to use the rain sensing wipers yesterday. I'm still trying to see where the cutoff on the switch is from intermittent (non rain sensing) to rain sensitivity.
