I went with podpoint, the same delay as you as ford passed the buck to the dealer who had to sort out the order confirmation because ford were useless again.
I presume that the pre-heating etc is a function of the car and not the ford charger so you can get any charger you want and set times through the ford pass app

I have sent her three emails and not heard from her once. For the Global EV Communications Manager she is very good at not communicating. However I do know that the subject of my previous emails has been the source of discussion at FordUK. No acknowledgement from anyone though so I am not holding out much hope of a reply to my latest one either.
Ok, I've sent a fairly blunt email to Emma also. Generally on communication failures by Ford throughout the whole process but raising particular reference and urgency on getting resolution to the change to plug in grant eligibility.
Don't expect anything back on though.

Yes I believe that is correct if the car exists!

On a more positive note, the Glasgow dealer who is putting on the Ford event next month emailed me back to say they are getting 2 Mach-Es in for test drives for the event. ?
So, I may actually get to see the car in the flesh (and drive it!) before getting it.

Iā€™m not counting my chickens though!? Still too many variables...
What dealer is it? im still with one in Edinburgh and Iā€™ve not been contacted yet about an event. May just get myself along to the Glasgow one. Closer for me too.

I'm in Perth and they are getting 3 Mach-es on 1 -3 April for viewing and I hope test driving. I am booked in on the 2nd. He also said they had 11 cars on order and they would all be on the first ship but no delivery date be known unutil they docked. So I dunno if any of it is true.

On a slightly different note, and on the staying positive presumption that we will successfully receive our cars, I am sure you will have seen the Mach-E Vlog YouTube channel. I kinda like these guys. They are not petrol /battery heads, they are kinda learn as they go EV newbies which is I imagine like a lot of us here. Anyway their latest video shows issue with pretty bad fingerprint marking on the central console screen and them trying out a screen protector to mitigate. Presumably there will be UK sellers of similar.

Itā€™s Arnold Clark, South Street in Glasgow. Thatā€™s who sent me the email. Iā€™m going to try and get an appointment booked tomorrow.
The events only seem to be at certain dealers. My dealer is in Motherwell and is not part of the tour either.

I think shipping from the US is about $12... I ordered one and put it through my business as it will (hopefully) be my company car. Not cheap but I always use screen covers.

I have tried every browser I can on my phone, tablet and laptop and still can't use the www.macheforum.com/site/pages/tracker that I have always used.
However, I have found this link on another thread on this forum which does seem to work.

I think there are a LOT of cached versions of this form around the web. I had to clear my cache in the browser to get the Tracker Number field show. After that it was fine. What I don't know is how you get past the tracker ID if you have never used the tracker before. That seems to lock out new users.

Sorry if this is a repost but quite a detailed 'how does it drive' review.

Your email to Emma is making its way through the layers of Ford. Question have you mentioned on forum others should do the same as weā€™ve been copied in another email to her? Just doing email to my boss as being questioned on what contact Iā€™ve had with you if any

Email address on post 4577. Go for it. It can't do any harm.

This may help the cause!
