Hey, everyone. I was part of this build week and have been checking up on other people's statuses over the past week or two. I'm happy for the people who already have taken delivery, and I hope to join soon.

Another NC person! Welcome!

That's great-- congrats! Enjoy that drive home.

But WAIT, don't go away just yet-- there's still @P65 and now @Shenred to cheer on!

Come back to page 90 to see updates. And just when you thought the race was over, coming from waaaay behind is @Shenred. Sorry DarkNStormy you are not the winner. But sooo happy that you are bringing her home tomorrow. P65 and Shenred are neck and neck and it's anyone's race. Will it be a photo finish?

Not sure I would call it a race, but sure it is not limited only to the ones already listed. Feel free to join and make my waiting less empty.

Definitely hope all of build week 04/04/22 will get their car safe, the others tooo.
Saw some horror story about wrecked car during rail transport here in forum.

Sadly, I bet it happens more than we know. Can't just go pick it out on the lot, so we order. Seems to be the norm now. And it sounds like Ford wants to make it permanent now with Lighting and MME. More people order, the more people will track and follow. The more we will here of what disasters go on.

You're right, not a race. Just poking fun. Just making light of a bad/sad situation.

Does ur motor whine at engine start? Is that normal? Mine settles and goes away after couple of min. I usually don't put into drive/reverse until it goes away. Is it OK to just drive? Or should u let it settle. Since it's been doing this, I've been using my paak to start the car 2-5 min b4 I need to leave.

Yo Bob, need ur photo finish
✅️Bobb82851

Yeah, when I saw there was an ongoing roll call, I figured I should join in!

As of Monday (6/6), it appears to be on the rail, but I couldn't get more information about exact whereabouts. It was originally estimated for delivery between May 17 - 23, then pushed back to May 30 - June 6, and now it's estimated for June 7 - 13.

could be motor or ac. probably just sounds of new car breaking in. should be ok to drive. doesn't make any difference waiting for it to go away anyway
