Look at the Forum postings from the time of the release on 17 November. Lots of links.
Fortunately, I think most of it is misinformation rather than disinformation.
Fixed it, thanks. I'm going to blame the absurdly early hour and lack of caffeine.
Bill - yes, the value to cube ratio of an Apple product to any vehicle has got to be in the hundreds, if not thousands. Air freighting an I Phone doesn't add much cost. Air freighting a vehicle might change the price a little bit!
I predict it will be here when it gets here; this has been based, in part, on the information put forward from this site
. Pretty sure I will see owner reviews prior. I was told by my dealer built in November, 4 to 8 weeks to ship? Wife says my birthday in March? Have not been this excited about new tech since flat screens in 07 (a/v receivers) and the PC mid 80's (autocad, adobe PS, flac ... ). Looking forward to the experience. Should be a whole lot more info coming out soon prior to the first received. When will the first costumer take receipt day/time? Best guess; local if you have it.
Sorry - I thought you were in Quebec. My bad!
It doesn't help when you go to a topic and it's loaded down with posts that have nothing to do with said topic either.
Was it ever confirmed all FE's would be made before Premiums? There isn't much difference between the two, and if they have supply chain issues on the FE parts I can see them being mixed together.
It is my understanding (given some of the insider's posts) that the FE builds will have other trim's "sprinkled in the mix" because it takes different amount of time/effort to make the different trims and thus the line moves more efficiently when there is a mix and not all a single trim.
Okay I give up, I couldn't find the needle in the haystack. Too many search results, came up and there isn't an easy way (that I could find) to isolate last November. I'll just take everyone's word for it that orders aren't sequential and trust that one day, when I least expect it my dealer will email me some news of production.
Correct. Which to me means some FE may get built in December.
and some Premiums, CA Rt1's and Selects are built in November (giving some of us non-FE's hope they may see our cars early if we win the "production lotto").
There's some debate on that. I think many assumed that based on various info without it being unequivocally stated. But I'm more going by trutolife27's statements, that (a) some models will be mixed going down the line just because of timing issues that make the line run more efficiently that way, and (b) they hope to have all FEs built in 3 weeks.
That is a general rule of assembly line management. For Mach E it may not work.

BTW, one way they could do that is simply mix more of the FCTP's and FEs together. Basically save some of the FCTPs to mix them in with the FEs, since the FCTPs will be of various trims. Might even be able to move the Oct 26 date up a little that way too.
