Ford provided me rail car number TTGX159216, is there a way to track? The estimate to dealership was 11/18-11/24 and now they are saying it is 12/28-1/3. It's like waiting forever. Order date 2/25.

Out of curiosity, why the backing in?

I love that Ford puts the charger in the front of the car, which to me is the only logical choice. The chargers in the rear are nonsensical, especially for SUVs. And the Mach-E is an SUV, so presumably you want the cargo door to open outward anyway, towards an open door. Unless your garage is very deep so you can open the cargo door inward while the car is fully in the garage, I guess?
So, maybe it is paranoia, but if needing to be towed onto a truck, you need to pull from the front. Sad to think of when purchasing a new car.

I also installed the charger between the double stall and single stall exterior doors in case a visitor needs to charge from the driveway. You can also consider just moving your car out for them to pull in to charge.

I may end up needing to pull in front first, but may need to setup something for taking the charger cable over the top of the car. I do have a shorter third stall that i will explore further, but will need to take out all the other garage stuff out of it this weekend to try it out.

Picked ours up today in the Houston area! Had a great buying expeience at our local dealer. The Mach E is super fun to drive! Really quiet! It is replacing my wife's old Cobalt and she was hesitant about it at first, but upon test driving and riding in it, loves it. Very comfortable.

Brother and Dad are already demaninding "test drives" for when we see them for Thanksgiving. We will be taking it on it's first road trip Friday out to the Texas hill country to visit family.

Since the delivery estimate dates have already come and gone, the delivery estimate has been changed. The fun part is that based on the estimate and what my dealer told me on Monday, I traded in my old car yesterday, then the dates changed a few hours later. Today, I'm going to pick up a rental.

Picked mine up on Tuesday from the dealer and LOVE IT SOOOOO MUCH!! It is a blast to drive. I'm still figuring out the technology, and enjoying it a lot. Well worth the 10 months wait!!

Picked mine up yesterday in Northern Virginia area. Love the car!

I signed up the Mustang club of America shortly after the order and used their x-plan to get discounts as well as capped doc fee. Very smooth process in the dealership.

Just my 2nd day of the ownership, I experienced the first technical issue with the car. It has a blackscreen after starting. Googling found a solution by pressing the volume down and right arrow for 10 seconds to reboot the screen. Ford has to improve the robustness of its software.

Got a text from dealer Friday evening that my car arrived. Then got a text saying it would be Saturday or Monday before I could pick it up due to the inspection and charging and the fact that two truckloads of cars were delivered. Saturday I got a text saying that the guy who does inspections didn't show up for work. ? I've got an idea - give me a checklist (like an apartment rental list), and I'll inspect the damn thing myself.

Just got an update from Ford Chat, my car is now at the rail ramp in Orillia, WA, 143 miles away. So close, yet so far away. Only took the train nearly 6 weeks to get there, wow. Load the truck, LET'S GO! This process is crazy. I can't wait to get my customer satisfaction survey and really let Ford have it. Customer experience rating, 1 out of 5. I'd give it a 0 if I can. With all the technology out there, order tracking could be much, much better with little effort. But all will be good when we drive it off the lot, hopefully the end of the week or this weekend.

Finally, The Mach has come back to Texas!

She's all mine! And I love her. I seriously think I could sit in this car all day. I'm making up places to go just so I can use it. ?

And to my surprise, I paid MSRP.

I like the l the color. I tried to talk the wife into that color but she fell in love with Space White.

We also had a space white delivered. We said we’d never get a white car, that changed with the looks of this one!
