11/7/22 Build Week Thread for 2023 MME's

[mache2022_2023]

Ford can go screw themselves. If these supposed masters of production and logistics get hung up on shipping a car from Missouri to San Jose, I don't trust them with the quality of the product that they can build. Their dealers are a bunch of value-less idiots who don't seem to care. I have had my order in the pipe for 8 months. I no longer want it. They can keep the piece of crap.

So true, the vehicle is at the same location since Nov 24th, there is no freaking update on the status, dealer sales agents are a joke..and below is the update from Ford Chat !
Thanks for holding. After checking my resources, I show the status of your 2023 Mustang Mach-e - VIN is In Transit and currently located in Ramp 6R, Richards-gebaur, MO with an ETA of Dec-17-2022. I do want to also add that this status has been updated in our system as of Nov-24-2022, 11:41 CT, therefore I recommend consulting your sales agent for any recent changes, if any.

I was digging around tonight and in another build thread, it does appear that RA07 was Avon lake. My window sticker does show RA07 on it. Based on clement.48's post, looks like it hit Avon then was at the dealership about a week later or so. I am still stuck in Bellevue which is only an hour away from Avon but it has been there since the 7th... So close and yet so far at this point.

Just checked tracking. Now shows "Notification ground only Avon lake Dec 10 at 10:45am" so that would seem it's waiting for unload and truck carry I would assume.

One step closer!

Out of curiosity, what tracking tool are you using to get those messages?

Ford chat gave me my Norfolk Southern tracking number. I have been using their automated system to call in and get status updates.

I have a contact saved with all the pauses and options saved so it is one click dial:

+18006355768,,,,,2,2,,,(enter the numeric value of your alphabet track number. Mine was 8849)#,,(enter your numerical track number here. Mine was 987343)#,,1

So my contact number looks like: +18006355768,,,,,2,2,,,8849#,,987343#,,1

My car delivery range date was pushed right before it arrived. It had been 12/3-9 since the day it was shipped but on 12/5 it went to 12/12-18. It arrived at the dealership the evening of 12/7. Perhaps pushes in delivery range are just automatic?? Hopefully some/most/all of you get your cars before the new range.

Strange, just spoke with Ford Chat, the last status update was 11/28:

Mustang is In Transit, Received,Ramp 6R, Richards-gebaur, MO. Your estimated time of arrival is Jan-17-2023

Yours left ABQ about this time yesterday, so it's predicting about 11 days from that point to delivery. Does that sound about right?

Additionally, it seems as if the WC cars I know of off the top of my head, @Mini166 , @snowdoggie , @astrorob , got revised ETAs when your trains were more or less at ABQ or west of there. My train supposedly started traveling from KC yesterday, so it'll be interesting to see if I get my revision in the next 4-5 days. I'm fully anticipating an ETA right at the end of the month into next year.

hard to know exactly how it lined up, but the train was probably in Needles when the estimate was revised. i never got an email so i don't know when the website changed.

i hope this means the damage was not that bad if they decided to ship the MME out of KS.

I found two examples in other build weeks of damage. Often involves new parts or panels needing to be sourced which, given the ongoing supply issues, seems to be a sticking point. I have two potential issues that I'm contemplating even if the car arrives at the dealership by the end of the year. One, would I purchase a car knowing that it needs repairs that have not been accomplished yet, and two, do I want to spend $70k+ on a car that has a replaced panel and potential color match issues? Either one seems like a non-sensible thing to do.

Over the last couple of days, I have recalibrated my thinking and I have mostly resigned myself to thinking that this car will not happen for me. I don't get emotionally invested in car purchases and I'm not going to start now. If this doesn't make sense with the tax issue, damage, etc., then it's just not meant to be.

No email but web page now says 19th-23rd for Morgan Hill delivery. This is a slip from 9th-12th.

just hoping I can sign papers and take delivery before the end of 12/31/22!!!

Hoping for something soon since it was in Fresno yesterday!

If you are converted 22 order and you have the private offer I would suggest buying the car and flipping it if it does not meet your expectations.

No, it's an original MY23 order. Personally, I would be uneasy "flipping" it as that runs afoul of the federal tax credit law, and I generally do not try to call audit attention to myself. ?

Got an email today from my dealer saying my Space White Premium Extended Battery Nite Pony will be arriving December 14. (Original eta was Dec 12-18).
