7/11/22 Build Week Gang

[LeWe]

Has anyone seen their car being shipped this week? My built date was 7/16 and it is still awaiting shipment. Seems like cars built earlier last week were shipped quickly.

I am in the same boat. Still awaiting shipment.

Northern California seems to have delays in being shipped. Check out my post history to see other people in the same boat.

Mine shipped. Seems kind of long for a convoy to SoCal, but I'm not in a hurry so whatever.

I bought all weather floor and trunk mats, curious if anyone here has other recommendations to have in place before pickup.

Is it real?
My Premium ER RWD that I ordered in Jan.’22 was built the week of 7/11. It shows as shipping with a delivery date of 8/9 thru 8/15. Considering what I have read about delivery, does anyone think this is legit?

When I first noticed my car was awaiting for shipment there were 46 other cars in the same status. Today when I check it is still awaiting shipment and there are 466 cars in the same status. Built 7/18/22 exp delivery 8/31 to 9/6 (hoping it's 2022). Just now says 471. I'm being shipped via Rail. Better still it now says in transit. I guess that means it is in a train car??

Hello fellow SoCal Mach-E buyer. I was a little surprised at the convoy shipping time too…seems like it should be more like 7-10 days.

Not sure what dealer you’re picking it up from, but from what I’ve heard the main risk of dealer shenanigans is that they might try to slap on extra packages without your consent.

I’m planning to do the online checkout assuming it has all of the details for Ford Options, interest rates from December, the $2000 Ford Credit financing incentive, etc. Then I can hopefully go down, sign a couple of things, and book it.

I'm picking up from Citrus Ford in Ontario. Hoping not to get any extra fluff I didn't ask for. So far all I have was a verbal agreement with two different people, one of which no longer works there. I'm getting the X plan pricing and a few folks (as well as the spreadsheet on the ADM thread) seem to indicate they won't try to pull a fast one on me. I know all about dealer shenanigans, my dad just paid MB $900 for side door scratch protection (or something like that), which is basically strips of vinyl on the side of all the doors. The last guy I talked to said that we'd settle all the details before the car gets here so that gives me a bit of optimism that they won't add aftermarket crap.

What's this online checkout you speak of?

Mine has made it to Kansas City yesterday with an ETA to the Colorado Springs dealer by 21 August.

This thread has a lot of info, it’s a year old but I assume Ford hasn’t completely revamped the process. The only thing I don’t see are the past incentives available, only current (interest rate at time of order is supposed to be included in the price protection).

That's awesome! I assume that you can't go though the online buying process until the Mach-E arrives at your dealership?

Is there any way to track convoy status? I saw a link in the Build & Tracking sticky but I'm not sure how to use the app.

I"m on a train in Laredo tx headed to VA. Actually I'm at Laredo waiting. The train is not moving. ETA Sept 6th plus dealer prep. Per my sales rep. and he always says he is just relating what information he has not what actually happens. I feel for him, reporting on dates he has NO control over.

I'm betting Sept 10th +-

Correct, the online checkout should show up in your online Ford account (where it says what stage your car is at) when it arrives at the dealer.

I don’t think so. That is the correct site, but Jack Cooper removed the VIN search bar for people who don’t work for a dealer (QED, they don’t have login info). Perhaps their servers got too hot.

The first time JC removed the customer VIN search bar, they were lazy and just made the VIN box visibly hidden and unclickable (but otherwise still fully functional). One could then hit F12, go into the HTML code and delete the line that made it hidden and look up the VIN.

But it looks like they got wise to it and actually implemented code that disables the search button part of the VIN box completely unless you log in with dealer credentials.

If you bug your dealer or the Ford chat they should be able to tell you. Although when I did that, they just said “it’ll get there around 8/11 - 8/15”…

my latest update. not sure how to use the Rail car information. I show your Mach-e is in transit with an ETA of 08/21/2022. I show Railcar # NKCR009218 (Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co ) I show the location to be Ramp 6M, Argentine, KS. I would only have general status details; . My best recommendation would be to stay in touch with your dealer for more information and updates on the status of your order.

Mine is the same, except Ramp 6R. I don't understand why it has to go to KS when i live in Louisiana. Why didn't they just change to convoy in Texas?
