01/10/22 Build Week Chat/Gang

[Red Baron]

Ford is really whacked with updates, allocations, crazy a*$ delays

My experience so far:
Cyber Orange GTPE
Ordered confirmed 10/28/21
Vin 1/20/22
Build week 2/14/22
Build date 2/22/22 completed per Ford’s email/confirmed with Dealership

Expected Delivery 4/14/22

Assuming I recv it in April 2022
all progression dates are within the 28 weeks from ordered date

My 2 cents

Ordered 8/23, flipped 10/1, delivered 2/26. Essentially 26 weeks, even with the flip.
Premium, standard battery, RWD

I find the tracker doesn't work for me 95% of the time. Doesn't matter if I use Chrome or Edge on Windows, or my Android phone or Android tablet. Really crappy performance for a website.

oddly, the tracker almost always works for me. of course, it hasn’t changed from the
in production of 01/19/22 and estimated delivery 06/13/22, so there’s that. And yes, cleared cookies.

Oh hey btw! How did this go for you?

Not a Tesla fan and the Ionic was ok until i retest drove the MME. LOL I'm waiting and hoping it shows up sooner than the end of May.

Yaaaaas. Same here. Except it's June ?

Ford in Culpepper VA has a 2021 GT. 10k ADM if anyone's looking.

10K is a joke. Even though I disagree with even 1K ADM, I can understand when people say anything under 7500 is countered by the tax rebate. That's their choice to spend that money.

But 10K and up is one of the largest insults to the American market.

Nice of you to give a share btw for those looking. Just ADM is so effing gross.

I test drove a GTPE today in SoCal that had an MSRP of around $74k (which already looked high). They were asking $105k!! Hahahahhaha. Uh, no. Not in any universe, pal. At least I now know how the car drives, which is great. I can’t say enough about the incredible difference those shocks make. Wow. Brutal power off the line, but pronounced torque steer, which was sort of amusing. I drove an EV6 GT Line yesterday. Really great car with some superb tech. I wish the MME had some of its features, but I’m still leaning toward the Ford. The driving experience is more engaging, and even though I liked how quickly you could access functions in the Kia via the steering wheel and center console, the MME just felt nicer on the inside, with a higher quality of materials. Having said that, I like the way the Kia’s touchscreen doesn’t look like it was just slapped onto the dash. The integration of the design is just really well sorted.

I had to squint and re-read that $105K a good three times before I realized you were serious. Bruh.

So you are telling me that the Dealership is marking up the price from 70K or so for the GTPE to $105K? In that case....My GTPE is coming in April....I can flip it and make 30K.....LOL

Dude, I can only hope nobody is actually purchasing these cars at that price.

There will be at least one person with the extra $$$$
The reason why Dealerships are marking it up that much is bc based on the Demographics of buyers.....So Cal ppl have much 4

Curious Jim...What is the name of the Dealership in So Cal?

I don’t want to say, but it rhymes with “Runtington Leech”. He already negotiated himself down to $10k over by the time we left, haha. I was just curious and wanted to try the car. I should be able to get mine price-protected and hopefully X- Plan, but I guess we’ll see when it comes in. If there is any funny business I’m going EV6.

Odd. I ordered my CO GTPE on August 23rd (with Blue Cruise).
It was confirmed on 8/24 and again on 9/27.
Changed to a 2022 model on 10/1.
got a vin on October 31 with a build date of 12/20, then 12/27, then 1/3 then 1/10.
Scheduled deliver of 3/11
The car was built on 1/15, but not completed. Sent off-site on 1/20 on a chip hold.
The car now has a delivery date of 6/9, exactly a 90 day slip.

My guess is your car does not have BlueCruise?

Perhaps it is the same car I looked at in early January, but now even more expen$ive?

Ugh June 9th. Dang.

yes...if it comes in then...I am at 41 weeks...and that is a big IF.
