Dutch people that ordered a Mach-E?

[F1Dude]

It is the order date that I first put in the order at Ford. And the build date is when they expect to build it.

Thanks, my bad. I misread "order date 2020", thought it said 2021. But still bad news for us..

Looks unlikely, mine is already 2 weeks ready, don't think they store them for 3 months...expected delivery date according to dealer is march 4...

Likewise. Mine was made 2 weeks ago as well. Hopefully they'll get put on a ship in the next 2/3 weeks. My delivery due week ending 13 March

 

[makooy]

same here, 100%-ready build date was 08-dec-2020
Delivery date to dealer is 27-feb-2021
11,5 weeks between finished production and delivery to dealer.

My calculated guess is that transport time takes between 6-8 weeks.
Means that the Mach-E is parked/stored somewhere for 3-5 weeks...

RoRo's from Veracruz to Antwerp between 01-jan-2021 and 31-jan-2021:

I imagine they are still in Mexico. Haven't been told it has been shipped and I don't think there are any ships to this side of the pond now until early January

Yeah thought already he was not correct there, seems not logical if they store them that long. Gives me a (small) hope that it will still come earlier. Luckily I have a VIN and a Windowsticker code now, so I can follow the car myself.

I also have a VIN code but so far the tracker on this side does not mention a build date. It does show the correct type of MME (hurray) but I'm not counting on getting this car before May next year.

 

[Luffie]

I think most of the current known vin-numbers won't match with the MME's to be received early next year

 

[Marcel]

@Luffie I don't know what you mean by that. Once a VIN is assigned it will be "yours" the dealer would not give mine until i signed the contract because he did not want the VIN to be used if i decided to cancel. I have the VIN in the Ford Pass app and in my account info on the Ford website.

Hi, I contacted my lease company to see if I could get a vin and to see if I could swap the 18” for 19” from the factory. (When outfitting the standard range I could not upgrade the rims)
They told me it was no longer possible to change that in the factory, but they could do it at the dealer...wait..
The cost at the dealer for 18” is the same as the 19” (zie accessoireslijst -1700euro) But the lease company adds an 38e per month (for more expensive maintenance??) which in my lease totals to 2280e. So asked if the 18” would be mine to sell....,no they said, it’s our car, but maybe the dealer will give you “something” for the 18” (i know the dealer does not want to take the 18” in, not very courant). I am new to leasing, but is this a normal non customer centric respons from lease companies??

You have to pay the full options prices, they are written off after the lease period. It is this way for all options you choose...

I understand i have to pay for the 19”, but the 18” , what happens to those??(“worth” also 1700 according to the list)

Je zegt het zelf al, geen vraag naar dus bijna niets waard en de leasemaatschappij en/of dealer willen geen gedoe, dus volle prijs voor opties en wat er af komt.......maar waarom koop je ze dan niet zelf en verkoop je de 18"

Dat laatste mag dus niet van de lease maatschappij. En voor 2280 extra in de leaseprijs “koop” ik de 19” natuurlijk eigenlijk al.

Wel een beetje een spelletje dat 18” en 19” dezelfde list prijs hebben, en dat men bij het samenstellen van de auto de velg maat niet los kan aanvinken. (Al was het met bijbetalen). Het zal wel een indirecte kick back naar dealers zijn, kunnen ze nog wat upsale doen.

Klant gericht vind ik het in ieder geval niet, hoe ze het ook omdraaien.
ps Als ik de 19” zelf koop, moet ik alsnog die 18” erop zetten bij inleveren. Dus dat schiet niet op.

Note you will also need other and more expensive tires.

Which might wear out faster as well.. it all adds cost, I've made this mistake when swapping standard 17" rims on my Volvo V40 for 18" rims that looked nicer.. (but did end up costing me 50 euros a month extra, for something I did not see from the inside )
