I think that based on the fact of how Ford has screwed up the reservation/production process of the new Bronco, there will be a lot of angry reservation owners that were told they would have their 2022 Lightning in 2022.
Wow ok, so you get on my case about my case specific example but then do the same for your own argument. You are once again, without any evidence claiming that Ford won't deliver the vehicle when they said they would. I did get a side view of how the Bronco process went and I'd say that with the amount of optioning they did upfront - it made the process really confusing. As I stated in my last post, I think they are learning from that. The Lightning it pretty straight forward. Again because the Bronco is a new vehicle and the F150 is not, leaves me to state they they will deliver it this year. Of course I guess we can skip right by how the argument against delivering a vehicle and the process of ordering one getting messed up are 2 completely different things...l but yea, do you.
I avoid FIRST YEAR production of vehicles/powertrains, again especially based on all the problems Ford has had with the FIRST YEAR release of the Bronco, Explorer, Aviator... etc. If you've had the FIRST GENERATION of a vehicle and haven't had any issues, great for you, but you are only one person mentioning a population of two cars, which is irrelevant statistically.
You are only one person as well. And most people that have no problem generally don't say anything, those that do generally will speak up more. That's why consumer reports can be a toss up. The only people I'd actually listen to about first year problems are mechanics at dealerships cause they actually know. Are you a mechanic at a dealership?
And so, cause I think you missed this, I mentioned having 2 first generation vehicles because I'm responding to you saying you avoid first year generation. I'm saying I don't because I haven't had issues....so I'm not going to avoid the first generation of a vehicle that, again, isn't new.
You can do your own research on the unique parts of a vehicle that has never been produced before...
So that means - you can't list anything.
The Mach E got out the door during a pandemic, true but vehicles are designed years prior to a release and supply chain issues are current.
So then first generation vehicles can be good....I'm not sure what you are saying here.
Again, my comments are only speculation based on Ford issues recently releasing a new product, there will always be exceptions but you do you.
Trust me, I know they are, especially since the main issues with the recent and only new product you have mentioned, Bronco, was supply chain based on a pandemic.
BTW, the powertrains from a lot of these vehicles aren't new, they are reused. Ford, Ram and Chevy and others all do that. The coyote isn't just in the mustang, the ecoboost isn't just in...jeez which one did that even start in at this point. The Hybrid isn't just in the F150.
I'll just end by saying that you've already stated that you don't have a reservation on the Lightning. So I question the mentality of a person that joins an online forum to post about something they aren't getting. You don't have to sign up to see posts. So I guess you do you? All I asked is why you think it won't get delivered this year, which I still think you are flat wrong about and you've said nothing to convince me otherwise.
