Full Ford press release:https://media.ford.com/content/ford...ect-of-parts-shortages-on-q3-performance.html


And WSJ's report on it:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/ford-w...inished-vehicles-11663620521?mod=hp_lead_pos3

Ford Motor Co. said Monday that shortages of certain parts will result in a higher-than-planned number of unfinished vehicles in its inventory.
“Vehicles on wheels” have been built but are still in need of some parts, the company said. Ford said it expected to have about 40,000 to 45,000 such vehicles in inventory at end of the third quarter. Those vehicles “disproportionately include high-demand, high-margin models of popular trucks and SUVs,” Ford said.
Completing these vehicles will shift some revenue and earnings before interest and taxes to the fourth quarter, Ford said. It added that “based on recent negotiations, inflation-related supplier costs during the third quarter will run about $1 billion higher than originally expected.”
Ford said it was affirming its expectation for full-year 2022 adjusted earnings before interest and tax of between $11.5 billion to $12.5 billion. The company also said it was expecting third-quarter adjusted EBIT of between $1.4 billion and $1.7 billion. In the second quarter, the company reported adjusted EBIT of $3.7 billion.
Ford is slated to release third-quarter 2022 financial results on Oct. 26.

Those of us who went through the "Class of My22" and survived will thank our lucky stars when we start browsing the various My23 build week threads. Sincere good luck to all! 🙏

I guess this affects all models to some degree. Theres about 1000 (and growing) escapes and Corsairs sitting at the fairgrounds about 2 miles from my house. And I often see SD's filling vacant lots as well

The scary part is that it will definitely get worse before it gets better. They seem to keep kicking the can on ETAs when they know full well that each updated timetable is unattainable. Simply put, the way they've handled this "unprecedented" event is abysmal and will have long-term repercussions over the coming years. Nearly everyone I've spoken with about this debacle plans to go with a different logo on their next vehicle and a similar sentiment is widespread throughout this entire forum. It's never a good idea to bite the hand that feeds you.

The only problem with that is that all the other companies are in the same boat. These problems will take a long time to resolve themselves.

Agreed, for sure. It’s reasonable to believe that once this group of purchasers is ready for their next truck, enough time will have passed since the poor experience and a portion of us will give the brand another chance to get it right. The question that Wall Street is trying to decipher is exactly what percentage is that portion. Considering Ford’s ticker plummeted 11% yesterday on the recent financial implications of the ongoing supply chain constraints, it appears this piece will start to become factored in with future quarters. As always, time will tell - cheers, fellow Ford enthusiast.

For whatever reason, no matter how deep we get into this parts shortage, I am still amazed at the number of brand new cars populating vacant lots around the U.S. The labor and logistic needed to finish all of those vehicles outside the factory line has to be astronomical.

I’m sure that didn’t help but the drop was more focused on the $1B of added input costs from inflation. The street hated that news.

Agreed. That said, an efficient market would have already considered the ongoing supply chain constraints and is now likely gauging impact to future quarters. Institutional investors & market movers have had this knowledge for days, if not weeks, and shifted their positions accordingly. Altogether, nobody knows and we’re just living in a simulation.

Am I right the 3rd quarter ends at the end of September? This means my truck will be ready by Friday of next week!! OMG, I am so happy right now. Wait, they have to ship 40-45,000 finished trucks. That will take what, based on Ford's past shipping numbers, 8-10 months? Oh well, I was hopeful for a minute.

There is also a group of purchasers who recieved trucks and Ford won't or took over a year to address issues and the fixes didn't fix it for some.

Go look at the Transmission Shudder thread that has 66,000 views!!

I'm guess a large portion of these people will think twice before buying a Ford again..
