10/03/22 Build Week Gang

[minders]

4 Mach Es from 9/12 build week just showed up on my dealer's website as being in "stock". If they actually have it at the lot, it seems like the estimated delivery date is pretty close to being accurate.

Are you talking about Mall of Georgia Ford? The only one they have on the lot is a used 2021. The 2022s they're showing on the site all say "in transit, not in stock" very small on the picture. They're all orders that they're using to try to trick people into calling them.

Also, @Msnwcpa you're welcome! Waiting is the worst, but it's better to be realistic. The date will change a little here and there. I'm lucky enough to have a good sales guy that keeps in touch with tracking updates.

It normally says in transit here instead of in stock from what I've seen before when I used to see other vehicles listed in the past. Maybe you are right but just wanted to mention that nothing was there yesterday and 4 new listings showed up today.

I see what you mean. They're totally pulling that trick. A dealership in TX tricked me into calling before I learned it wasn't really there. Sales guy said they do that to get people to call and said to look at the picture, that if it said what's circled in my image, that it's a customer order on the way. I went off on him for false advertising, but now I know better. ?

My fordpass shows a picture now if that means anything.

The worst is Ford emailed me to activate as the next step, I tried in Vain, realized that it is impossible with a $500/- deposit

Electrician is coming out tomorrow to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet and an Autel MaxiCharger.

Need to reach out to the dealer to get the Finance and Options rates. Still don't know what direction I'm going in. I have a Blazer EV reservation, so I'll need to evaluate that versus the Mach E when it comes to dealers.

Ended up getting sent the wrong Autel model, so now I have to deal with a convoluted return/reorder process and electrician has to come back out.

I think I can add some insight. I am in the 9/26 week and shipping to Portland. My ETA is 11/1 - 11/7 so I bet we will be on the same train. Makes sense because BNSF goes through Seattle first. Mine was transferred from Richards-gebaur on Jack Cooper to BNSF railyard in Argentine, KS on 10/15 and that is where it sits. I don't know when that train will leave. Like I said you will probably be transferred soon and get on the same train headed west.

Thanks for the info and let me know if you find out when that train leaves

I need to double check. Which site was it again? I only have the asbuilt site still in my notes along with ordertrack. My apologies.

Ford options is same and regular financing purchase except with a balloon payment at the end. So no penalty for prepay or early payoff. Some people get options to get $ discount (1-2.5K depending on state and time) and just payoff the loan or refinance with someone else.

My salesman told me that Ford eliminated the option to pay the balloon payment at the end of the term since Ford did away with that on EV's. He said they take the vehicle then so didn't recommend it versus traditional financing. I vaguely remember an article on here discussing that, but I wasn't sure.

@MeIIo What part of GA are you in? I'm in the 9/19 build week and can give you a little insight on the timing I've experienced being half an hour south of the Atlanta airport. You'll probably end up like me - see below. No easy way to track it once it's on either of the 2 transport trucks, unfortunately. There are several posts out, including one I did in my build group, that has tracking info for the trains once it gets to that point.

9/22 Into production
9/24 Built
9/28 Shipped via rail - Mexico
10/3 Arrived Laredo, TX
10/10 Arrived Internati, MO (main rail yard)
10/11 Arrived Richards-Gebaur, MO
10/13 Shipped Convoy truck (to the next rail yard)
10/16 Shipped rail car on Norfolk Southern (currently passing through IL)
(From NS to another Convoy truck to dealership happens next)
10/20 - 10/26 delivery window

Also, no use in hitting activate in the app, it won't do anything.
