Beautiful car. I hope my Infinite Blue Metallic is that same color!

Absolutely beautiful. I hope the Infinite Blue Metallic one I ordered is this same color!
Built same day 2/11
Shipped two days later 2/13
But has not arrived.
Maybe I will go to the dealer today to drop off my extra fob for configuring with the car when they get it.

Definitely head to the dealer, put the ball in their court. Let them know since you're "still waiting" you'd appreciate their help in getting the extra FOB active once it arrives.

Right after I typed that, I thought what if I have them get the second key fob ready and then on the test drive, I absolutely hate the car and don't buy it? I don't think there is much risk of that.

Don't worry.. you won't hate it. I released all those worries once I saw and drove mine, lol.

Haha I agree. Once you see it, and get in. It's over, they've sunk the hook and are reeling you in.

My car shipped on 2/9 and was supposed to be delivered on 3/29. Dealer checked beginning of this week and it was in NY heading for MA. As of this morning it is now delayed by 44 days with delivery of 5/9. Dealer had no clue and said he would try and find out. This maybe the end for me. Too long of a wait, no explanation, and clearly they must be having issues. Terrible communications. Finding out by checking Ford is not how I want to hear about a 44 day delay. Checking around for other Mach E's already at dealers. Seem to find First Additions around but they have a 3K price over my premium ER. Not willing to give them 3K extra for their delays and I don't believe the FE is worth 3K more.

Assuming your dealer was telling the truth and your car actually was in NY headed for MA earlier this week, all I can offer is that hopefully the delay is incorrect. There have been others that had similar issues and it showed up on time. Best of luck either way and agreed that it sucks to be in this position.

That delay is probably grossly incorrect. I bet you it will show up next week with no warning.

Got email from dealer who is good at comms with me. Car arriving in Mira Loma from train (near Riverside). Then on a truck to come down to SD.

Update: My VIN no longer shows on the PALSAPP, it says that "may have been released to local carrier". Wonder if that means it is now on a truck?

Unbelievable!

Maybe the trick is giving up, because I had. My original ETA was 3/16. Found out just two days ago (Wednesday) that I was delayed for Quality Control. That night Ford Tracker updated to a delivery ETA of 4/13. Just got this pic texted to me by my dealer. I can pick it up tomorrow morning.

I almost didn't believe them when they sent me the message, and asked them to confirm the VIN.

 

[GoosePond08]

So has anyone filled out their 'Survey' from the dealer yet? How harsh have you been, when my assumption is most dealers have done close to nothing except being a shipping/receiving location for everyone to get their vehicle.

Or maybe that's just my impression of how my dealer has gone lol. Everything else has needed to be spoon fed to them every step of the way.

Curious if everyone is giving the 'Great job!!!' feedback to keep that relationship clean. lol

The trick is for MrsNoMoShocks to like it. She has criteria beyond my comprehension. But I have taught her to accelerate fast enough to get in front when the light turns green and 2 lanes will merge into one.

YES!!!! Happy for you! It's always unexpected when they show up, it seems, lol.

How did you find this out?

Mine shipped on 2/9 also, and may very well have been on the same train east (railcar SOO-516376). I tracked it all across NY until it arrived in Ayer, MA where it was unloaded earlier this week and trucked to my dealer in VT yesterday. That railcar is now heading back the other way across NY again.

Since it was over a week late, I kept pestering the dealer to see what was going on. They told me that they put a "tracer" on it, and after finding the car that way, they said that it was being delayed for, "Quality Control."
