@WestonEaston2 @150CMF150 @mrlevine@freep Lol sales up 4% for Jeep year over year over 2020. Wrangler, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee setting records for best quarters ever throughout 2021. All while chip shortages loom. Ford was down 7% year over year but don’t let facts get in the way of whatever you’re attempting to prove.
@mrlevine@barronsonline What was the best part? You handed out allocations to big dealers and watched your customers either not get their vehicle built or get ripped off with a stolen order or ADM?
@jimfarley98 You need to explain to your consumers how early July/August 2020 reservations might not even see a 2023 Bronco because you decided dealers were more important. Yet somehow January-August 2021 orders can get build dates.
@jimfarley98 Congrats but that won’t help the consumers you don’t give a shit about, Jim. The same ones who reserved Broncos in the early days of reservation opening. Only to be sacrificed by your allocation formula for choosing honest dealers. Scam artists.
@dbsb3233@mrlevine@JonLucchesi@jimfarley98 Duh, that’s what we’re all complaining about. It was a reservation system, now it’s an allocation system. Those of us that chose dealers based on price are now F’ed. Just move along because you don’t know what you’re even talking about.
@Uintafly@mrlevine@JonLucchesi@jimfarley98 Apparently it’s all our fault we can’t read the terms on their site that they changed months after the reservation system opened. 🙄
@mrlevine@JonLucchesi@jimfarley98 Why not reward dealers that were proactive and earned business through honest, fair upfront pricing and great customer service? Seems very short sided as you are losing many customers for life.
@dbsb3233@mrlevine@JonLucchesi@jimfarley98 It’s an example numb nuts. Why should I have to switch to a dealer I don’t know I can trust when I have one I do? Oh that’s right, because Ford decided 3 years of sales volumes should dictate how many Broncos each dealer gets. But this was AFTER they had a reservation system.
@mrlevine@freep Honest question Mike since you keep backpedaling to what Ford changed this too. What was the point of a reservation system if it’s essentially just a waiting line at each individual dealership?
I’ll give you a hint: because it wasn’t supposed to be this way.
@mrlevine I’d love to do that in my Bronco but I guess my new 2021 @Jeep Gladiator will have to do. I bought that a week ago after being sick of you choosing dealers over customers. I burned one res should I cancel the 2nd one too? Maybe you can tell my wife why she can’t get a Bronco?
@mrlevine@HPNQ420@Okevin7@mtruby@Ford They’re not over promising, they’re honest. 100-200 for the 1000+ orders they have left for 2022. We thought Ford had our back when dealers chose to not prioritize order holders by giving honest pricing up front. Broncos should go where the orders are, not where big dealers are.
@mrlevine@HPNQ420@Okevin7@mtruby@Ford Why not Mike? You tell me why they can’t all go to a single dealer? Because that would make your others dealers unhappy? Prioritizing dealers happiness over your customers is asinine. You let us choose, you said timestamp. Now you’re rewarding big dealers over honest dealers.
@mrlevine@chadneal@HPNQ420@Okevin7@mtruby@Ford This doesn’t mean anything Mike. Under the current system most of us won’t even get our cars by the end of 2023. Why should I change dealers? To reward Ford? Or so I can be the 10K+ ADM victim? You’re tarnishing your brand.
@mrlevine@HPNQ420@Okevin7@mtruby@Ford Seeing a theme yet? The idea I could have to wait 3-4 years for my order because the dealer I chose is a disgrace. If Ford can’t build my august 20’ reservation in 2022 because of this I will cancel and I will never look at another Ford and I’m not the only one.
@mrlevine I should answer your question, I’m August 17th, 2020. We have mountains of orders from the first 1-2 days in July. No build dates, no information. Yet we’re watching people with late August 2021 orders getting 2021’s? Not just a few, a bunch. Customers talk, we see it.
