"What bothers me is seeing people on social media saying, ‘I just put my order in and I already got a VIN number.'"
I find those posts sus. That's not to say people who ordered later got their trucks earlier, I'm sure that happened. I just find the social media posts fishy
Walmart next to my house is the same price per gallon as Costco.
The only reason to have a Costco card is toilet paper and the fresh rotisserie CHICKEN
I ordered 7/27/21. I received the built email today.
The tracker bounces back and forth between in production and built. The trackers seems to only work about half the time. I think and I'm trusting that the emails are far more accurate than the tracking website. Delivery date is between 3/6 and...
The tracker showed "in production" with no date. Then on Thursday the date 2/10 appeared next to the in production dot. This morning its just back to the dot with no date.
Off-topic, but today is supposed to be my build week (pushed back from January twice, original order 7/27/21), and last night and this morning the tracker from the Ford website no longer shows anything, it won't even load. Anyone else experience this?
Producer makes a product, customer orders online, item is delivered.
I order a laptop. The laptop is delivered to me or to a holding area. It doesn't go to a Third Party Laptop dealer who then preps and dealer markups my laptop and sells it to me.
There is a market here. This is the transition...
Then someone has an opportunity to fill a niche going through the online process for them. Think of a paid assistant for the process, rather than a giant dealer
Sending an email costs Ford nothing, and at least makes the customers frustration feel acknowledged (even if it's corporate bs.) There's a supply chain shortage on emails? Not according to my Spam folder
All allocation arguments aside, Ford not communicating with customers who ordered in June is a trash can move.
At least send an "We're sorry you're frustrated and we're trying" email.
