1/31 Build Week gang

[Old Fashioned]

I
Am in Ft. Lauderdale. The car was held up in JAX for 4 weeks then sent to the Miami holding yard.

UR - you will need your VIN to get a load number. Once you have that, you can use the register key to gain tracking access. It may take more than one attempt to get an account

Did you get to Jax by ship or by rail? I'm in the 1/10 build group and confirmed my pony (and several others) are getting unloaded today off of a ship in Jax. My dealer is 50 miles from the port. Please tell me I'm not looking at 4 weeks.

I'm sure there are many fellow shipmates ready for a mutiny if we're waiting another 4 weeks

Well, it arrived today!

I went to get the paperwork done, and I of course they didn't know about Ford Options. They had the $750 in the system, however they refused price protection. They claimed they didn't have time to call the VOPC number, and would call in the morning. Yes I provided memos and documents, but they didn't want to hear it. Oh, they also didn't put the correct Doc Fees (I used X Plan & I know the cap). Wasn't too concerned about that as I needed to do the $2K first. I'll be back in the morning. I'm going with my credit unions rate of 1.38%. Their Ford Option rate was not sufficient. All good!

There are 15 other cars for my dealer that say pending pickup so hopefully they head out tomorrow! Funny thing is ALL 15 other vehicles are F-150's! When I click the drop down by track some say Order Type Individual and some say Order type Load Child. Anyone know what that means? Getting closer!

I believe Load Child is an individual car that has its own load number. There is a master load number that these load children are under eg 6-8 per truck.

Mine came by rail via KC. It still sat in JAX until they had enough vehicles going to MIA to fill a car and enough drivers in MIA to get to the dealers. The JAX yard has higher capacity than MIA.

The eagle has landed! Dealer photos - of course my photos will be much better after I pick it up!

Alright! Yours looks very familiar. Same as mine except your glass roof. You’re going to love the color. And the roller coaster like acceleration….and tell me you don’t smile when you drive by your first gas station. No more paying ‘the man’. ????

How many folks are left from this build week who are still waiting?

I'm still waiting. ETA of 4/27 to 5/3. Dealer called yesterday with date of 4/29. I'm aware of one other from week 1/10 that's waiting also with identical color, trim etc. We think we're probably on the same train.

Let the games begin! Dealer now says price protection, options rebate, and and X-plan do not stack. Further, added a $999 dealer fee and $399 wheel locks that they say are not excluded in X- plan. Guess it was too much to hope that this would be honest and easy!

Round 2. Walked out, said I would meet with GM tomorrow when he is in.

A funny thing happened - we have no hills in Florida so I never used the parking brake. The appraiser activated the brake and I DID NOT know how to deactivate it! This gave salesman enough time to chase me down - miraculously, GM showed up!

All items now stack, all BS charges removed. On to finance.

So glad to hear that it turned out well. Did you buy the oil change package that F&I tries to sell you at the end. ?. Mine tried….but I think he was genuinely ignorant about electric cars. I was his first.

Mine was supposed to be here by today and shifted to next month. :/
