04/04/22 Build Week Chat

[rmins]

Is there anybody else besides @rmins waiting for movement out of the factory? Otherwise seems like our week got very lucky so far and are all built and shipped?

Still nothing showing on my end. Just shows, "in production". No modules. This order was a dealer stock order that I called and reserved over the phone with the dealership. I wonder if they are purposely delaying dealer stock orders and prioritizing custom orders.

it's weird that is has no modules at all- does look more like a delay and less like a chip hold. Did the window sticker come back?

FWIW mine was also a dealer stock order which I managed to reserve, and it shows as “in transit.” Weird times, indeed.

So I’m here at work, taking some time to learn about my vehicle and all its current features and without a doubt Park assist is listed as current/available, so I think our batch really did get lucky! The 4/11 batch for the most part seem to have the prep kits.

I have a window sticker, no update since 3/31/22 (I tried viewing on different devices/browser). The window sticker does have "VEHICLE NOT FOR SALE DO NOT SHIP" in big red letters on it.

The theory I saw on another thread about these stickers was that Ford was holding back on invoicing these dealer-ordered vehicles until after the price increase-- which would be worrying if true. I don't think @DrJay32 's sticker was like that-- it was just a typical blue (dealer-ordered) sticker, and did have pricing listed.

That said, it sounds like the latest price increase might be suspended: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...ctive-april-13-2022.16353/page-15#post-397547 If that's true, then you'll probably be ok, especially if you have a signed contract with the price you agreed to pay, but obviously that doesn't help the fact your vehicle still hasn't been produced yet.

If Ford is making production changes to try to prioritize special orders, your car's place in line might be collateral damage as it's still considered "dealer-ordered". But hopefully you'll actually go down the line soon.

Lemmy wants to drive up Pike's Peak with his friends in the Mach-E, but he technically doesn't have a license...

The Mach-E is taunting me....
I'm in my current car and it's on my rear!

This may be what they call "foreshadowing"! ?

Have a reservation on a dealer order, with a build date of 4/5. Looks like it shipped out of Mexico to KC. Then from KC to New Castle, DE? OrderTrack shows Pending Status with ASN origin of New Castle DE.

Is ordertrack system down for anyone?

No problems here. But no updates either. From other threads, there seem to be folks who shipped about a week before me (~April 1) who are now seeing their cars arriving in KC. Seems like the trip from the plant to KC may be taking a bit longer than average.
