Thread for people who haven't gotten their Mach-E's yet to be grumpy in

[jddrews]

Hmm. Mine still doesn't. I've been about a day behind you, so hopefully mine ships tomorrow.

Edit: Just after midnight and there it is. Built is now a solid check, status is Shipped and an estimate of 33 days. Estimated delivery date of 11/23 wasn't changed though.

I received the official email from Ford overnight.

Sept 21 ship date and no updates in palsapp. Cars with a Sept 20 ship date have shown arrival in KC for 5 days already.

I was in a minor accident in my existing car (just a fender bender at very low speeds, everyone is ok, both cars are drivable) so I’m even more impatient to get my MME. I’ve been contacting dealers all over the country and their business practices are annoying me to the point I’ve given up.

Yeah, I went down that path, sans accident (glad everyone is ok), and I gave up too. They're either advertising vehicles that aren't even in the country yet, but just have a VIN, vehicles that are already designated for a customer or attaching at least 10k onto the price of the car. I got tired of calling around after about 4 days and just decided to continue waiting.

My MME was too slow to catch this train

Maybe the train was running a 2.0T

Congratulations. I am about to give up. Can you give me your order milestones. Apologies if you have posted those previously.
I reserved 6 of 2020
Ordered 4/28/21
Production 8/17 and then to chip hell
ETA 10/31
I have not heard anything in weeks. I'm concerned something beyond a chip hold is happening. Dealer has no info beyond what I can get myself.

Mine also sent on September 21 and nothing !!

No problem. Here you go...

Ordered 4/23/21 (I received a confirmation email from the dealer on May 5th)
Crickets
Production scheduled for the week of 9/27/21 (received this notice on 7/29)
Production date 9/29/21
Build date 10/1/21
Shipping date 10/4/21
Est. Delivery date 11/20-11/26/21

A few things happened along the way. Maybe in June I got notice that the color was changed from CG to DMG. I received the dreaded chip email. My original build week was 9/21 but got pushed back a week to the 27th. I've seen enough anecdotal evidence to suggest the actual delivery date will come in about a week earlier than the estimated delivery window. We'll see about that one, though.

Similar boat...Reserved back in February of 2020, ordered 4/28 of this year. Production was scheduled for week of 8/9 and now in chip hold status. I have no idea where it is or when it will be finished. Dealer just told me it was sent offsite for chip hold. ETA is 10/8, but that seems impossible since it still doesn't show Built or Shipped, unless it is Stateside waiting for the chips.

Mine originally had an ETA of 10/9 and about 2 weeks ago that date was pushed out to 10/31.
I am curious to see if many of those similarly delayed are in the Upper Midwest. Truck transportation issues causing shipment delays through Chicago?? I'm looking for any reasonable issue beyond chips. Other MME are shipping produced after ours.

When I try to understand Ford motives, I play a little game. I assume the worst.

First they didn't have chips and produced the cars without them. Then they got the chips and used them in both waiting and the cars on the production line. And the number of cars that became ready for shipment at that time exceeded the transportation capacity, so here comes another bottleneck. What cars go thru it first? Who knows. But definitely it's not base on the order date.

Having a hard time rationalizing that new thread of the guy picking up his GT today. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the person. But, it appears he waltzed into a dealer, placed an order and has a car before people like us who reserved over a year ago. Its frustrating realizing that reserving and ordering at given times are simply arbitrary. This is not how one builds loyalty to a brand.

Heh, I just made a mini-rant on his pick-up thread. I am seriously happy for him. I am seriously grumpy with @Ford Motor Company for de-prioritizing us with reservations.

Get off my lawn you pesky kids!
