I see some are still whining about hail...

Was it actually *FORD* who was quoted saying that, or was it the reviewer / journalists / social media personalities speculating it would be early Summer?It wasnāt āpromisedā but all the early reviews of the car had Ford saying early summer so that is fair to expect that car by then
Who said anything about shipping them right away. I noted that they are sitting on $150+mm of inventory that is presumably now being held for a marketing plan (media drives) not QC, otherwise they wouldn't have left the plant.There really is no pleasing people. Say they shipped them right away before the quality was where it should be, then youād be complaining that they shouldāve fixed everything before shipping them out. But now they hold them to make sure the quality is good and people are mad they arenāt shipping.

Big difference between the two...
I found it. He does say that at the very end of this interview....Jim Owens Mustang Brand Manager
I know he's the de-facto face of the Mustang at Ford, but I suspect he was speaking out of turn when giving that time frame and probably regrets doing so in hindsight.He said it at the Carlisle Ford National in an interview I watched on YouTube in June.
The most recent reviews have him saying just summer now lolI know he's the de-facto face of the Mustang at Ford, but I suspect he was speaking out of turn when giving that time frame and probably regrets doing so in hindsight.
He did a good job of dodging the question about price though, lol.
Yeah and everyone of those dents has been pushed out from the inside removing the E-coat and leaving little scratches that can corrode. No thanks.You would never know they were hail damaged. I just had a car repaired from damage, you can't even tell. No holes drilled, either. My current Mustang apparently had shipping damage that was fixed. Found out years later when body shop took it apart to fix something. They said they fix cars all the time from shipping damage.
Picture attached from marble sized hail. Can't see anything on car now.
Only two months?Getting real annoyed.
We were told by YouTubers/ford chat that our cars should be arriving or at least on their way to the dealerships later this week or early next week but I see no real movement.
my car was produced 6/8 and been sitting at the lot for almost 2 MONTHS! Donāt want to be a Karen, but damn. No updates no nothing.
Who said that they would be released at those times?Getting real annoyed.

Can I just say? That's kind of a cool paint job, bubbles all over the car. Not that anyone wants that from hail.
