I'm liking that blue! 😍

I finally got the "email" today about the delays.

No. As a matter of fact, there was plenty of skepticism expressed about it.

Did you pay MSRP or ADM on it?

Aside from Alan Mulally, none of the other CEOS during his 25+ year tenure as Chairman have been good. Notice, WCF is the common denominator there. BTW, there was also this recently... https://fordauthority.com/2023/02/bill-ford-says-company-made-mistakes-touts-farleys-fixes/ “We probably...

Certainly an interesting coincidence, but still not the same David O'Callaghan...

I mean, Ford has recently issued several recalls for their recalls, so...

For most of these social nedis influencers, you have to remember it's all about driving traffic to boost their ad revenue, since it's typically how they make their living. So in effect, they will tend to focus on producing quantity over quality.

Thing is, they should have taken care of these issues before opening the order books, or bettter yet, before revealing the vehicle.

Make no mistake, Ford is losing plenty of money by shutting down the plant, easily millions of dollars per day. While they may not be paying the assembly line workers, they still have to pay bills to keep the utlities on, pay for any equipment/tooling they're leasing, pay taxes on the property...

I've seen RacerX's videos before. And yes, he's not the most credible person. All of his information is hearsay from dubious insiders he claims to know but never disclose. That said, it makes for good click bait to drive traffic to their sites / videos (thus more ad revenue).

While there are legitimate supply chain constraints, Ford's refusal to work collaboratively with its suppliers and their poor quality control is making the problem much worse for them than other OEMs. No other major OEMs, to my knowledge, have been shutting down their production entirely, nor...

Is there a link to an article / video confirming that?

IMO, as a daily driver, a DH is not worth it for several reasons. 1. From a option/specification standpoint, the only real difference between the DH vs. GT besides the prestige factor is that you're getting slightly more horsepower (an addiitonal 15hp) and carbon fiber wheels. 2. DH has...

^^^I think this post is on the right track. But that's not a Supply Chain problem, rather a self-induced Ford problem.

Yeah, for custom orders, I've said before that folks will do good with a fall delivery. And yes, expect recalls.

Ford appreciates your positivity though! 👍

Most likely, they had to file for unemployment (if they so choose), as it's considered a furlough. At least that's what happens during regularly scheduled shut downs every Summer for retooling. Even for salaried workers, at GM for example, they have to use their vacation time for the Summer...

Ford's under the impression that because of its brute scale (historically), it can bully vendors into holding its inventory and expediting its orders on demand.

Ford has a very impressive product lineup, and they do benefit heavily from what I would call "Buy American" privilege, as many people (myself included) purchase their cars for the simple fact that they're a US-based automaker and have a massive uniom workforce in spite of their known...
