There will be a Grabber Blue First Edition available at Tom Holzer this week. I haven't officially declined delivery yet, but I've decided to let it go. Nothing wrong with the car, just not the right time for me.

I just got the call that my Mach Drop arrived at the dealer today. That's the first I've heard from the dealer since I confirmed the build week in the beginning of November. I'm not sure I'm going to take delivery since I'm leaning more towards keeping my Rivian R1S order, but I'm going to see...

Argentine Ramp and Muncie Ramp are used for vehicles heading west. Birmingham, MO is used for vehicles heading east.

Tesla will probably raise their prices by $5,000 if and when a new tax credit comes into effect, negating most of the benefit. They had previously reduced prices as the tax credit phased out.

"Tinted Clearcoat" and "Tricoat" both add costs. They add additional steps to the painting process that other colors do not require. Ford is pretty fair with their paint pricing structure, unlike some other car companies who charge extra for anything beyond one standard color.

Hopefully you are referring to conventional financing and not a lease. If you lease, you don't get to claim the $7500 tax credit.

I've heard nothing from Tom Holzer either, aside from when I emailed them to ask if I had been assigned a build week. I don't even have a VIN to track since it's a Mach Drop order.

I thought the Mach-E was originally supposed to be built at Flat Rock along side the conventional Mustang.

This sounds more like they found a production flaw and issued a stop sale. This is common for new models and it takes a period of time to check all the vehicles and make any necessary repairs. It's one of the risks taken in ordering early production vehicles.

The pictures on the right side indicate this step only applies to vehicles with a console between the rear seats and not bench seats. Since there are no Mach-Es with this configuration, this step would not apply.

When I've seen names listed before, they are at the bottom of the Optional Equipment section. It's possible they aren't doing that for the Mach-E, or it's only for fleet customers.

The online window sticker system usually hides the dealer information and customer name, presumably for privacy reasons. The printed window sticker that comes with the car will include the originating dealer information and your name (or whoever originally ordered your car unless it's stock...

I don't understand Tesla's obsession with putting games on the center display. I tried them once and it was rather clunky. I'd rather just use my phone.
