01/10/22 Build Week Chat/Gang

[SpaceEVDriver]

Very kind offer.
OC is about 50 miles south and in LA traffic that translates into hours. But if you find yourself more coastal and more southern than LA proper, and if I am still without the grabber blue sighting (though at that point decidedly blue in nature), we might just take you up on that. Thank you.

I have family in the Valley, though not LA proper. We almost always look for an excuse to go down to Long or Hunting Beach, and I still haven't managed to put my CA Route 1's wheels on the PCH, which is obviously something that needs doing.

Anyway, I'm hoping you'll have your car before I make it back out.

Mine has been "built" for forever now...but never gonna ship. ? Just sitting and rotting somewhere. Not feeling very optimistic.

So I feel like I am on an episode of the Office or hidden camara. I finally called @Ford Motor Company back about the email I sent (they left a voice mail). It was the "Executive Office of Ford", don't know what they hell they do but sounds fancy.

I got nothing. They told me my car is scheduled to be delivered 4/5 through 4/11. I immediately said do you realize that is this week? Response...Um, let me check again. Yes that is what I am showing and I have limited data, only the vehicle visibility office can tell you more. My response, can I talk to someone in that office? She said no one will be able to give you more information, I already asked.

I went further to say this is why I am so frustrated, no one can give me any information. How can an enormous and sophisticated company like Ford not have any information that they can share with customers besides an absurd delivery date? This is not 1990 and dial up internet. You say talk to the dealers, well they only have access to what Ford tells them.

Ford, I will pay an additional fee if you will put an Apple Tag in my car. At least that will be an improvement. There have been at least 3 cars built after mine that have been delivered to my dealership, and mine sits somewhere in an undisclosed location. Top secret Mach E.

We ended with check back Monday to see if she had new information. Burden is on me, thanks Ford!

So it looks like my information has changed a little from yesterday. Previously the bar at the top showed "Unknown Status" and it now shows "In Transit". The other change is at the bottom. It went from blank to "Picked".

Edit - Some additional information: Ordered 8/29. In production 1/19. Car was Built 3/17 and I received the shipped email 3/22 that stated a delivery date of 4/16 to 4/22.

From what system does that screen come? If it's your Ford account, it would explain why it isn't familiar to me, since I ordered directly from my dealer (the online ordering was wonky when I tried it) and my order has never shown up in my Ford account, although I can track the order via the Ford order tracking site, was able to add it to my Vehicles in my account via its VIN once I received it. {Jonathan}

Been watching other threads and someone mentioned order ordertrack.app. I started using it because I got tired of doing the workaround with the palsapp.com

It also looks like it scrapes the webpage data so it shows a little more information so you dont have to go hunting. Example with my info below.

Mine also updated to Picked yesterday, so glad to see some movement!

I work at a Ford dealer and also have seen 3 Mach E's delivered that were built after mine. In fact I walked in today and saw another one being prepped for delivery.

I used ordertrack.app and status says You're Hosed, Buddy. Does that mean it is, or is not, on the train?

Mine shows awaiting shipment. Vehicle status is ASN. What does ASN mean?

Right there with ya! Mine was built on March 1st after the infinite chip hold and now crickets.

In the meantime, my husband has now seen 6 MME's (among them 2 grabber blues) and I have only seen a black one last year. They are few and far between in my neck of the woods - or are hiding - and I just want to see one, preferably in grabber blue.

Did you make that trip to Encinitas yet? If not, make it a point to drive by Encinitas Ford. Their website shows they have 1 Grabber Blue in stock, but in recent fly-bys we've seen 2 or 3. The one listed is a GT, with a little over $10K ADM.

It means they just washed the dust off of your car from sitting out on a lot somewhere. I assume the dust is from all the other cars being shipped.

 

[Craigeddy111]

“A bunch”???? Rub it in.

Sorry didn't mean it like that at all.

I'll rephrase that to, "We've seen more and more show up around here (DFW area), so hopefully you see more as well soon!"

Which is true. I do hope you get to see a blue pony like yours.....also I hope you get to see YOUR actual blue pony soon too.

My Grabber Blue GT was built on 3/19 and is supposed to be delivered on 4/11. Haha. The Ford Site doesn't say anything about being shipped. I tried the Order Track site and it said, awaiting shipment, but the Origin is Kansas City. Does that mean it is in Kansas City? Which would be a huge improvement from Mexico. I talked to ford customer service yesterday and they were very nice but just told me the secondary data shows that my car has been moved. Not sure what that means, but the woman said it still shows an arrival date (Chicago area) of 4/11.
