Now I am getting nervous.

Time for a carbonated truck with roll down windows manual transmission dampers for heat direction locking diff via a knob on the hubs etc

Damn, so far there are some people that have Broncos built but sitting in a fields waiting on a chip for 4 1/2 months now. I wonder how long the Lightnings can sit without the batteries being charged/maintained before the overall capacity takes a permanent hit?

I'm starting to second guess if it is the right time to get a new vehicle. I don't need it, just want it. And it could be fraught with issues.

This is nothing new, I was in Dearborn a couple months ago, Bronco's where being trailered in and completed, thousands of F150's including Raptors were in "no access" office building parking lots. There is security guards in vehicles everywhere surrounding these new trucks and they also were being moved one by one to be completed and shipped. This component shortage situation is with all auto manufactures.

With the recent decline in the stock market, high gas prices, housing prices, and slowing economy, I think that will have an impact on new car sales. I'm wondering if that will allow Ford to finally catch up with demand.

I wouldn’t think so. More people will just flip them, if that dries up then maybe it will slow down
