[Old Fashioned]

Checking in with everyone. My pony has been great to drive and I’m starting to figure out all of the features. Had a meet and greet with a buddy who just got his Rivian. I was totally impressed with the Rivian. Here are a couple of pictures of our new toys. I’ve got to say the bourbon was good also.?

I got mine today! Salesperson texted me this morning that it was here and 5 hours later it was mine. Price Protection and rebates from time of order were all honored no questions asked. Great experience at Olathe Ford. I counted at least 5 other MMEs there that were all claimed - they must be getting a lot of volume in.

For what it's worth, I noticed that the palsapp hacks stopped working a few days ago, which made it impossible to keep up with Picked vs Paired etc status.

Still lots to get used to. My wife has already figured out how to set up her phone and profile. I plan on doing that tonight in my garage.

Happy stable!

Hang in there. So many of us have experienced that feeling. We are pulling for that group of you so very long overdue - but it will happen, and hopefully soon. And when it does, enjoy those open roads around you.

I’m waiting as well… been stuck in Barstow several weeks now…

Your day will come, just as mine did. I had a very good experience with Elmer at Ford AutoNation Tustin. They honored price protection, $750 email, options, …
The 9 plus month baby is home

Awesome! I ended up buying an abandoned grabber blue GT order at AN Tustin yesterday (over MSRP but way less than some of the mark up numbers I've been given in LA) and can vouch that they were really easy to work with (Sam for sales and Rana for finance). Glad to see they didn't drill your bumper as well. I can't be the only one that thinks the grabber blue looks even better in person. The dealer wasn't close enough on our trade-in so my wife drove the ol' CRV home and said the blue car was visible WAAAAY in the distance during LA rush hour.

I’m still waiting as well. Mine Has been sitting at a rail yard 2 hours away from my dealer for 8 days now.

Well, back from vacation and still no car. VVR says it's still at ramp 6r Richards-Gerbaur, Mo. Been there since May 2nd. ETA still shows May 15th- May 21st. I can't understand how a car that came off chip hold on March 1st still is not here yet. It took a month and a half to build it and now almost 3 months after being built, it's still not here.

CHIP and SHIP holds infuriating but when it gets here you'll love it

While I was unofficially the last out of the chip hold lot, I'm glad I didn't hold that honor for delivery. Had ours 1 week and 3 days so far, and put over 1,000 miles on it.

You're not - I'm still in the dark here, though my fifth or six delivery windows starts on Monday.

So you’re the other blue one that made the truck ride from Mira Loma with mine. I was there when they both were delivered. Congratulations!

Delivery date slipped again to 6/14-6/20. Almost comical…almost.

Given that I'm in the 6/18 - 6/24 window, I think our Mach-E's are quantumly entangled on the same train with @ItsFootballTim

Is it in Missouri? I know yours went from picked to “on hold”.
Two curious things about mine:
1. During early-Missouri limbo, JeannneB verified I needed the BlueCruise recall done. Mine was in limbo for a while in Missouri, and upon arrival, I didn’t have the recall needed and it has arrived with Blue Cruise enabled, though I haven’t verified that yet.
2. It has also arrived with the SYMBOL for kick open tail gate on the back, though we know that option was supposed to be removed. It won’t activate no matter how much I put my left foot in, and then my left foot out, and then I shake it all about (and that’s how you do the Ford shuffle). Leaving the symbol suggests they might provide it in the future?

Got to love that “spooky action at a distance”.
