Finally got through to someone at Galpin Ford. They said they have almost 40 Mach-Es. They’re planning to start the updates later today or tomorrow. Sales person said check back in 2 - 3 days. ?

Question for you, when you are talking about MSRP, do you have a price protection of when you passed the order couple months ago or the deal was you to pay the windows sticker when the car will arrive?
My agreement was MSRP. Not price protection. I didn’t think price increases would affect me if I put a deposit. Really dumb assumption on my part.

They shouldn't effect you. Price protection should be guaranteed for making an order.

Same!

I pinged my dealer when I saw that Reddit thread and he said they have the fix now. They just need to be notified when they are allowed to apply the fix to the cars on the lot.
This totally made my day! Now if I can get them to give me a trade value.

Update: apparently I typoed on my rail car #. I just tried again and it said the car is empty and in Newfoundland. So my car should have gotten off the train a while ago, no? Maybe it will arrive tomorrow?

@jr4 have you heard anything about yours? We're both in Indiana so I'm judging where mine might be in the journey based on yours :)

Mine too! Especially because I found out an hour earlier while getting an oil change that the car I am borrowing while waiting for my Mach E is at risk of having have a power steering system mechanical failure any day ?

So this good news came at literally the perfect time.

I am picking up my Mach-e tomorrow. Built 5/23 and the dealer called and said the fix is in! I'll get the details when I pick it up. I'll talk to the mechanic/tech guy. Premium, AWD

Congrats! A half dozen of us here in Florida might be getting our Mach-Es by this long weekend!

What dealer did you order yours from?
Matthew Currie Ford in Nokomis. So far so good. Let's see how things go as I finish the purchase but I've been pleased so far. Mario is my salesguy. He's been good about keeping me informed.

Does anyone know if there is anyway to get a financing incentive. I believe when I ordered they were offering either 1000 or 1500 but I can't find anything now. Not sure if I'll finance, but that might sway me.

My car did not catch the same rail car as yours out of KC. It was still in KC last I knew. I could really use my car for a road trip this weekend but I've never expected that to happen.

I may be in Elkhart this weekend so let me now if yours shows up.

How have you obtained your car's location now that Ford Chat is gone (for me anyway)? I will call my dealer today.

I believe it was $1000 for FL at the time back in Oct/Nov. It's $500 now for Ford Options.

@FLmac may know more because she used Options before.

I bought my current car in Feb. I think the only cash back or whatever they call it is only available with Ford Options. From everything I know most states were offering $1000 from October until at least February with Options. Some states were $2500. Now I think @voxel is right and it’s at $500.

I want to take the Options incentive from time of order in October. Rate is 2.7 and $1000 cash down. Right now my CU (Suncoast for anyone in FL wanting to finance) is still 2.25% for EV loan, so I’ll have to run the numbers.

@jr4 , chat is still available. I was never able to use it on my laptop, but it works well on an iPhone.

Coincidentally, my vehicle got transferred to another rail car on the Norfolk Southern line and is sitting in Elkhart! Not sure why they overshot Chicago 100 miles east, but happy it’s getting close to home.
