I appear to have the laminated glass on the front side windows. That was a nice surprise.

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?

Mine was stuck in Missouri too and prior to arriving I needed the blue cruise update/delivery hold done. When it got here Tuesday, the blue cruise update was already done. And when I added the car to my Ford Pass app it said something about data already being in the app, which I found rather strange.

I’m thinking the hold might have enabled them to update.

She’s finally home! No drama at the dealer—actually a better outcome than I was originally told. They first said price protection would be given as a refund to me after Ford reimbursed them. But the paperwork had the original 2022 sticker price and the $750 model year conversion credit. Nice!

For those of you still waiting, the rest of us will wait with you until every car is delivered. And hopefully you will get it sooner than expected—mine was here 11 days before the latest delivery window so there is some hope!

Still waiting for mine.
2022 Mach-E Select Base RWD (no packages). Ordered on Sept 2nd 2021. Build week of 1/10/22. Built 3/14/22. Shipped 4/19/22. The most recent email with delivery "estimate" I got from Ford has my delivery between June 17th to June 23rd but I'm hoping I get it before then. Dealership last updated me last week that it was on rail traveling through New Mexico on its way to Phoenix.

My order is somewhere between Barstow and Richmond, CA. (as of Friday 5/27 per Emersonsdad). I'm in Sacramento area. Delays at Barstow rail yard. Fingers crossed that MAYBE final delivery next week. We're going on vacation this Thursday, so I may have to wait another week until I get back. Sooo close yet so far.

Just make sure that if it comes in when you are gone that they don't sell the car out from under you. Some dealerships have a 7 day hold and if you don't get it, they will sell it.

Skoolbus, thank you for getting this list together. We are sure they will be joining our ranks soon, but in the meantime we are sending out good vibes. If it seems some of us disappear for a little, I think it’s somewhat because of the 400 page manual. When we bring our last pony home, I can see this forum converting to … how did you guys do … right now, I am looking for the elusive pony sidelight projection.

Off topic: watch the skies tonight around 10pm PDT, 1 am ET for a possible meteor storm. Go out about 20 min earlier to get your eyes adjusted to the dark night. This could be spectacular (but this one is very unpredictable and might be nothing).

Just a thought, but when the last person gets his or her car I think it would be appropriate if Craigeddy111 closed out the thread with a eulogy of sorts. He’s kind of been our spiritual leader after all!

Yes, have a good discussion with your dealer before you go on vacation. I was out of town the day the dealer called home to say my car had arrived, and they said to my wife that I needed to pick the car up within 72 hours or the manager would sell it to someone else! Of course I picked the car up the following afternoon, but that seemed a rude way to say "Hi, your long awaited car is finally here!"

I am late to this forum but I am also in the 1/10 build week and still waiting. Ford listed my car as “delivered” on May 5 but my dealer tells me the car was delivered off the rail in Kansas City and apparently has been there awaiting truck transport since then. Since I am three hours away in Omaha it is a bit hard to be patient but I am trying.

11 months later, she’s home. Dare I say, it was worth the wait.

Looks great! Star White was my first choice but when Grabber Blue became available for the 22 switch over I couldnt resist.
Enjoy the ride!
