Shipped Mach-Es Arrive at Kansas City Terminal With Deliveries Imminent

[JellyBelly]

Palsapp updated last night and says my MME has been delivered to Argentine Ramp. Not sure what that means for delivery.

Produced date 1/8
Ship 1/18
Original ETA 1/29-2/12
Delay email eta 2/15-2/29
“Arrived” in MO on 1/29 according to dealer
Delivered to argentine ramp 2/2

Cant tell - unless your car is on stop ship which your dealer can confirm. An ETA delay does not mean its because of quality check. Assuming your car needs the quality check - we have seen that take anywhere from few days to two weeks. Most of that done at Speedway - so you should in theory see a speedway transport order as well.

But regarding the ETA , from the time your car is loaded again on its way to your TX dealer, its probably a week to two I would guess.

I think of it this way - its a 26 hour car ride from the plant to KC but takes about 2 weeks by train for the car. So it could be an easy one week to TX and add in delays related to loading and unloading and just waiting - you are close to 10 days to two weeks.

I haven’t seen any other evidence of a stop ship but I reached out to my dealer this morning. The delay email (the “to ensure your complete satisfaction” one) only pushed my eta out about 10 days.

Its odd that your got caught up in this inspection but assuming it did - the ETA you show is probably right. Palsapp if updated timely could show drop off and pickup from speedway in a few days for inspection unless they are doing it someother way now

In the pals app, while still showing as 'pending', the destination updated from 'null' to my dealer name today. That must mean upcoming movement.

sooo here is the craziest routing on my MME destined for LA. It left Muncie and traveled through Cheyenne Wyoming, and Now Ogden Utah. You would think that this is routing through Northern Cali but that is on a different Rail ramp.....Waiting to see when it starts heading south.

 

[mamejunkie]

Once we get an status update where it arrives at KC with destination to another ramp. Will we can any other updates prior to arriving at the dealership? Or is it a call out of the blue where they say "It's Here!!!" ?

No wonder it takes a long time to get to LA from KC

No other updates or tracking systems accessible to us normal folks ; only dealer can tell status via their systems and yes a call finally saying its here

How do you like your Model Y? Would be interested in a pro/con post comparing it to the MME from someone who learned a lot about the MME before going to the MY.

You ask, you shall receive
Honestly, I'm really enjoying driving the Model Y around. Granted it's only been 2 days, and there's a lot of snow and sludge around. There's a lot to get used to, as it's the first electric car I've ever had. I love tech, and that's the reason why I wanted a MME in the first place. It wasn't so much for the environmental benefits. The Tesla fits that for me perfectly. Anyways, here's a Pro/Con list of the Model Y and how it stacked up to the MME in my mind.

Pros (for me):
- The charging is so simple to use, at home, with superchargers, and public pay stations. I havent had any problems that others have had with the MME and public stations. The scheduling is really easy too.
- The range is just awesome (Long Range Dual Motor). 326 miles (90% of that is what I set the charge to, so about 293 miles of useable range)! I don't think range anxiety will be an issue.
- Sitting on my couch I can find a place on Google Maps and send the location to the Tesla. Once I get in the car, the Navigation system already has it loaded and ready to take me there.
- In the navigation system, there's a "hungry or lucky" selection. If you pick "hungry", it will suggest a restaurant and take you there. My wife and I are always wondering where to go eat, and we're relatively new to the area, so this is nice.
- All the Superchargers and some DCFC stations are already loaded on the nav
- I really like the streaming media function. It doesn't have SirusXm (con), but this is a nice way to search for 80s Hits, and it will play random 80s music, like pandora. It connects to my phone no problem and will play XM radio that way (through the XM App), and other podcasts I like
- It's so quick!
- Heated Steering wheel is awesome (I know MME has this), and the rear heated seats is a nice bonus (MME does not have this)
- I like how the Model Y sits higher than the MME. This makes me feel like I'm sitting in a CUV, rather than a sedan.
- The back of the Model Y has more utility / space than the MME.
- I like the minimalist feel. I don't miss having buttons, and I'm fine with no volume dial on the touch screen. On the Model Y, I can press the scroll wheel and it mutes the audio. I can also control the volume with the wheel, so I dont think I need the knob.
- The touchscreen controls / menus seem less confusing than the MME's. The system is also very responsive. I spent about 20 minutes with the MME in November and really messed around with the Sync 4A system. The menu seemed convoluted, but I'm sure once you get used to it, it's fine
- The voice control system is awesome. I really like that I dont have to say "Ok Ford" first. I can just say "set the temp...", or "take me to Home Depot", etc.
- Dual Wireless Phone Charging is great. My wife specifically commented that the MME didn't have that option (also works with my iPhone 12 Pro, with a case).
- When I picked up the car, there was no salesperson around pressuring me. They set up contactless pickup. I had as much time as I wanted to inspect the car. I went home, filled out DMV paperwork, and FedEx'd them back to Tesla today - simple.
- I like that there is no rotary dial for the gears. The stalk system just makes sense
- You can set a pin to get inside the glove box
- You can set a valet mode to control speed and access to the frunk or glove box (cant remember if MME had this)
- Sentry Mode and Dashcam are cool (I think Ford will add this soon). There's a USB drive in the glovebox so it doesnt take up space in the other slots
- My wife really likes the Dog Mode (for climate)
- Power control to move the steering wheel (tilt, in/out)
- Power release for the back seats to lie flat
Cons:
- I actually think the car looks better in person than in photos. With that said, I don't really like the front end very much. I like the way the rest of the car looks, but wish the front had more character. The MME clearly looks better, more aggressive, and stylish.
- I think the interior lacks a certain luxury feel. Yes, the touchscreen is large and nice, and the steering wheel feels great, but the materials just seem inferior to the MME. I had to wrap the piano black console and the wood-grain top running along the heater vents. It looks better now, but wish it came looking better. The seats are comfortable, but I think the MME seats are a little more comfortable.
- It sucks that I couldn't get the $7,500 tax credit, but maybe there will be a new tax law changing that?
- I would have liked to have the Pony puddle lamps, but from what I understand, you can get aftermarket Tesla ones
- The Model Y doesn't come with the 220v charging cord. That sucks, and I'm glad Ford offers it
- I think I would prefer the MME's door opening system BETTER than the Model Ys. The Model Y's looks better (to me), but the MME's functions better.
- A drain in the Frunk would have been nice, but really, how often am I going to use that? I've had the Model Y for 2 days and the only time I even opened the Frunk was to make sure it worked and there was a light inside.
- I would have liked a pin code system to get inside the Tesla, like the MME
- Wish the Tesla had birds eye view
- Wish the Tesla had auto park without having to pay $10K for the FSD computer.
- Wish the Tesla had the foot-activated hatch release

This is my Pro-Con list off the top of my head. I'm sure more will come to mind as I keep driving the car, and I start to read more reviews of the MME. Hope this helps.

Don't forget, weather also plays a part in the transporting of all of the cars. The Midwest was hit by snowstorms last week and this week which causes delays in the trains and even more in trucking. I know some drivers were sitting for hours stuck because the interstates were shut down.

East Coast is getting it now with snow.

Hope for clear weather for quicker transport!!

Thanks for the detail. I like the way the MY looks. I didn’t at first, same with the MS and MX, but they grew on me. The M3 was the only one I liked out of the gate, and would probably have got one a few years ago if something had happened to my Mustang.

I do like the styling of the MME and agree I’d prefer the looks over the MY, but there is a definite range and efficiency penalty there that comes with styling the car vs minimizing drag as much as possible.

Glad you are enjoying the MY, it’s a great vehicle in its own right.

Thanks, my wife (who this car was ordered for) has put her foot down and says if I can not get answers from Ford about the delivery, the safety and the operation of this vehicle then I am to find her another vehicle. Her current vehicl is a Lincoln and I sold her on the MME. Made her sit rhru the live anounce, and place an immediate reservation. She is now tired of the drama, the delay, and the possible safety issues. Soo, I am looking at the Model Y again. At least this time I can in fact get her in a vehicle to drive before we buy.

Oh well.
