My ordered car arrived Wednesday, but due to pano-windshield problem, they would not sell it to me after asking for written plan of action to correct issue. Will let me know Tuesday what their plan is.

Now I see my silver premium is on their website for sale. Can someone on this forum reach out to the dealer to see if it is really for sale?

Let me know what you find out. Hopefully it's just virtual and not really for sale. That would really be upsetting.

I just requested it via email, I'll let you know what happens. If it's any solace I believe others have seen their cars on dealer websites.

My beauty arrived Thursday! I haven't had time to post because that cute puppy in the picture had to have surgery this week for a torn ACL, so I am a little bleary. She is doing better now, but as you can imagine I have had a lot on my mind.
My sales guy got a promotion to sales manager, so now I am working with him and Seth Banco at Serramonte Ford. The process was fairly seamless. I got all the discounts I expected, thanks to this forum, I could check them off as I looked at the paperwork. I got an email in the morning and had started the Ford Options process so they just had to do a couple things at the store to complete that.
Seth went through setting up phone as key and I am glad he did because that was glitchy. He helped set up the PINs and did a thorough job of educating me about all the wonderful features of this awesome vehicle. The advantage is that he has already sold 8 MachEs and he had another appointment 1/2 hour after I left. It might have been another member of this forum? Seth also did the paperwork so that I don't have to file for California Clean Vehicle rebate maybe that's normal. They are also going to do the paperwork for the HOV stickers and that might be normal too.
I have to say I love this car! Just the few trips I have taken have been so lovely and all the features just make me squeal with delight! Love love love the way the Rapid Red looks in the sun!
It goes really fast too! Whee! I am so happy I bought the MachE even with the waiting and all.
Oh and for those of you wondering about my lease? They just forgave the last 3 months. There was enough value in the Escape that they were able to do that for me.
I hope you are all getting your cars in short order now too?

@DaveQ They were quick to respond. The initial email might have been a stock email telling me it was in high demand and wouldn't last the weekend... But when I emailed back saying that I had one on order but wanted to buy one off the lot as I was tired of waiting and asking if that specific car was available they said this...

I just confirmed with my manager that Mach-E is being sold. We are expecting additional inventory soon and I will reach out the moment one arrives. Please let me know if anything changes on your end.

This is a momentous day for me as the OP for The Build Week 1/24/2021 Club!
I called the dealer to ask about test driving their White Mach E4x courtesy car that just came in about three days ago and he said I have even better news for you. I said "Mine has arrived?" because I had a feeling it would in my original delivery window of 3/25 to 3/31. He said it was just being unloaded off the truck and I won't be able to pick it up until the regular weekday crew comes in on Monday and tightens those bolts.

I have been trying the Online purchase and first time I entered my X Plan code, the price went down to $54,750 or so. But then when I selected Options financing, it jumped back up to around $55,350 and says my available rebate is only $100 instead of the $1000 for I was expecting for Washington Options? Going to try again and I didn't see any option for Help Chat. Looking forward to the ten minute drive to the dealer for 1PM appointment to see Infinite Blue Metallic with a bunch of white film covering part of it for the first time in real life and then test driving their Pearl White Mach E 4x.

OK, figured it out why I am seeing two different prices on the online purchase. Dealer Price is $56,200 and when I enter my X Plan Code, their is huge banner saying $54,773. But the fine print above says "Estimated cash due at dealer" because it takes into account my $500 deposit. Then the program goes back to showing the other price to the left of $55,373 without my $500 deposit. That is what threw me off.

Thanks for checking. I hope they mean sold to me when fixed or replaced.

What is the windshield problem? Is it the noise issue?

 

[NoMoShocks]

Well it doesn't get any realer than this second Mustang Mach E 4x I ever saw outside of cyber space was my precious New Blue. Been struggling for a name, but New Blue was a baby blanket I kept with me all the time when I was 2 and a half. It was supposed to be for my baby brother but I appropriated it and he has been getting back at me ever since. I pealed back one corner of a white protective film to see the real color without rail car grime and it is really nice.

The First Mustang Mach E 4x I ever saw in my whole life was this White one about 1 minute earlier and this is the one I took out on the highway and through some twisty curves. I really thought the adaptive cruse with lane keeping was awesome on the highway. Let me drive the car like I normally would but gave an oh so subtle nudge if I started to drift toward the lines so I just felt like I was driving, but better than usual. The steering assist worked about half the time on the twisty road too, just letting me know on some sharper turns that it was depending on me, but very seamless. I don't think I have any choice but to take delivery of New Blue on Monday. When I got back from the test drive, I asked the dealer if I could have a couple buckets and wash my own car. I am thinking I will be reading the online manual for the rest of this weekend.

Some people have had wind noise from the front of the roof glass, but not all. Some have also heard buzzing screen. My test drive car today did not have either of those issues.

@NotSoJon Panoramic roof and windshield are misaligned and moderate to excessive wind noise

Unfortunately, I don't think the dealer is going to put together a written plan of action on that. So you might have to deal with it or be prepared for them to sell it to somebody else. I'm concerned about this and the screen whining. If I get both, I'm going to be pretty disappointed.... but then again, still waiting for the car three weeks after my delivery window is pretty disappointing anyways. Very happy for everyone else though!

But yeah, that's obviously misaligned. Is it translating into noise during the test drive? That's just odd looking....

I am actively looking for abandon orders throughout the state.
