agreed on the miserable process.
Ordered 11/1. Been sitting on “chip hold” since 3/17.
I get the commodity hold, I’m well informed on what’s going on, but ford **** the bed with this one.
They have tens of thousands of vehicles built and waiting. This kind of aging inventory is not good. I get a delay and not stopping the main line, but building up this much stock is not helping them.
Also, after 3-4 months, they should have a better triage system of relaying information to consumers. Even if that information is “we are waiting on these parts for this vehicle, there is no eta”. That info is all available, just making it accessible and transparent to dealers and consumers.
I’m still waiting on mine. But told my wife already, we might just flip it for a profit. In my area every dealer is tacking on 5-10k on top of new MSRP, even if I flip it for 10k more than I negotiated it would be a savings for the buyer compared to buying new from dealer.
