My prediction says it will go on for another month. IDK wtf is going on currently beyond fed up with this shit.
Well my 14 month wait is not that bad now that I look back, even with it derailing in the midwest during transport.
No offence against the car, I know its worth it in the end. But the patience level keep rising and overthinking "what if even after two months they don't have the car and eventually tell me it exploded so all this for nothing" such thoughts are killing me now and Ford is testing at my best.
This sucks. I miss the days of being able to go to a dealership, test drive a car, and be able to take home a car that is more or less what you want (albeit maybe shopping more than one dealer if you are more particular about a feature). This waiting 9-15+ months for a car sucks for everyone, with many people giving up waiting because they need a car, dealers with abandoned order cars that might not match with what they wanted to sell, and Ford's reputation suffering. Hopefully the transport truck for your car brings it in to the dealership soon and in pristine shape.
that's incredible did they lose your car? My first one got here around 30 days after built. You have far more patience than I have, I think I'd have given up long ago.
Well long story will brief as much as I can. I ordered my car on April 21st 2022. My order was accepted on 9 September 2022. My car was built on March 21 and Shipped on March 22. It travelled from Mexico to Texas to its final destination Ramp 6R in Kansas. From April 8th its collecting precious much needed dust at the Ramp. My first delivery window was April 22-April 28, my second ETA was May 17-May 30, my third ETA was May 26- June 1, my fourth ETA was May 27 - June 2, my fifth ETA was May 31 - June 6,my sixth ETA was June 6 - June 9,my seventh ETA was June 9 - June 16, ninth ETA was June 14- June 19, 10th ETA was June 27th to 3 July. Had and continue to have more ETAs by my 10th one I stopped counting. Ever since my car is built I contacted Ford Chat on every new ETA just to hear it will be there between X and Y date. After my 3rd ETA I was done so I contacted Elena Ford (Ford Chief Customer Experience Officer). I wrote her 1 email a week, She didn't responded and it had 3 emails meaning 3 weeks. I went on Reddit MME to complain and share my story wallah 30 minute in that post I get a call from Executives office Canada. I thought the assistant from the phone would help me but she gave me no reason for delays because she didn't had any information and promise to give me an update in a week. Didn't got her call for weeks so I contacted JIM AZZOUZ,JIM FARLEY and DAVE BOZEMAN. All of them have the same assistant working and she did give me a call but it wasn't any different then previous call. Except the part she did updated me within a week this time. She called me on 26th June that my car is finally on a railcar to Canada, it was all this late due rail shortages. They fast tracked my car. My car left Kansas on 27th June was here on 5th July. My dealer said could be here any day. That any day still isn't here. OH btw some worth mentioning details. I did contacted my dealer and questioned him first but his response was they have the same tracker as me but they see some updates that I don't and nothing else. My area manager also called Ford before I did no update from them .I did all my paper work for car in June because we believed it would arrive, we also got charger installed in May, I have a box full of car accessories since May. I even got insurance few weeks ago because my insurance agent was going on Holiday till September. I have been on total of 5 long trips since I ordered my car. And I just checked the tracker the last updated date just updated to 2 August. So it could actually show up to the dealer finally but now I am on holiday and won't be back till September so my dealer will be holding the car for me.
Given that it's taken so long to get to you, don't be surprised if there's a lot of software updates that are available, that you've missed out on so far. You might ask the dealership if they'd update them given the hassle you've been through waiting for this car to arrive. Also, don't be surprised if you end up with 12V battery problems and it needs to get replaced sometime in the near future.
Bro I had lots of time researching on OTA updates and 12v maintenance. I already mentioned both things to my dealer I told him to check the 12v batteries since its been at those ramps for so long and update it prior to delivery. He said he will make sure of that, also I am on vacation won't be back until September so he will have lots of time to fix these issues and there are only 2 updates my car might have missed since it was built in March not too many updates since then.
it's tough to keep with all the price changes and such. My first mache was straightforward may 21, msrp with xplan.
Congrats on your 15 month ordered MME!
