Sorry man, I was following your lead. Did not mean to rebut your posts, as you're absolutely correct. A POS Santa Cruz? Good luck in a few years when the springs are shot and it's worthless. I'm with you for the long haul - an extra month, so what? Again, sorry, I should have replied to the...

Well, there is a whole lotta whining on this forum. Whine whine bitch bitch. It's a brand new vehicle intended and ready for release this fall (which by the way goes until 12/21) for the first ones (not all of them). EPA jumped in there and delayed it a bit. So what? S**t happens. Ford has...

and then why are you bothering to stay on this forum?

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... https://jalopnik.com/the-car-shortage-is-about-to-get-a-whole-lot-worse-1847892481

Huh... on the silver Mav, those letters look to be black, not SS. Is it just the lighting, or mis-labeled?

The hitch is a really good buy upfront. That's all I got. 110 outlet if you think you're going to actually use it. The 360 package isn't the most advanced and lacks some features, but if you drive in a lot of traffic or a lot of miles it might save your skin and be well worth it. The blind...

It's just marketing. Would you feel better if the truck were $500 more and the shipping $500 less? Doesn't matter.

Over a certain battery size.

Why don't we get a caravan (pun intended) going and all go down and grab them!

And in the long run Ford can't afford either in promo or fines to be unaccurate. So what if that takes an extra month?

Least expensive in the short term may be the most expensive in the long term. Soft covers crap out and may not fit when velcro or snaps or whatever wear out - then it's no good for weather. Got snow? cheap and soft won't cut it. Valuables? better be a locking hard cover as a soft cover is...

Unless of course they don't have any chips in the future. Mine's built per earlier thread today as to how to check, but delivery date just got removed...

Their last sales figure was 1/4 million vehicles I think. That's certainly not nothing and well "on the road"; Telsa is the highest valued car company in history, done in 15 years or so? Take into account that Musk bet the farm on everything. If the Y hadn't done well, he was broke. He's the...

This helpful and quite objective hint is courtesy of Trey STARCOMMTRE Y1 (thanks!), and worth its own thread. If you have a confirmed VIN for your Hybrid and you're stuck in the "In Production" loop with no Built / Shipped notifications (pending EPA emissions with the eCVT tranny), but with an...

That's about as dumb a response as you could make. Musk has completely reinvented how to make a car, much less EV, from the ground up. He's revolutionized the actual casting and production methods. He controls his supply chain all the way through. He is the process of revolutionizing the world...

Yep we're golden other than waiting... and this is the most authoritative link I've seen.

I don't think so - everyone here is talking hybrid constraints, whereas ecos are being delivered. But, yes, in theory there's a 60% "constraint" on ecos if they have the parts for 40% hybrid.

Well that's totally cool - you got deeper into the site than I could, and for mine it shows a ton of PCM and BCE modules. Thanks for those links guys - I'm now beyond speculation into ... waiting for the EPA.

I don't think that's the implication. It's 40% of all Mavs. Individual shortages of certain components is a different constraint. But Tim would know and could clarify if you want to jump in on his Q&As.

Billions ain't nuthin', dude yourself, at the rate Ford pumps out 150s alone, having thousands of them sitting around. And they could be supplying to all the other car makers... Whatever you think about Musk, he isn't afraid to bet the farm on controlling his supply chain from start to finish...
