    How do you delete a profile in 4.1.whatever?

    This seems ridiculous but I cannot delete a profile in the new UI. What am I missing? The “personal profiles” menu is gone. This is an issue thanks to the recurring guest mode problem, and the adding-then-deleting a temp profile “fix.” While a sync reset does seem to work too, well, I’d rather...

    iPhone connecting to CarPlay while the car is off?

    (Note this is when the car is off/parked/charging. I’m just walking thru garage.)

    iPhone connecting to CarPlay while the car is off?

    This seems to happen to me regularly now (did not up until a couple of weeks ago). Whenever I get near the car it will auto-connect to CarPlay and steal wifi and/or Bluetooth. It seems to happen when the car unlocks and eventually (couple of minutes) goes away but is very annoying.

    DARK MATTER GRAY Mach-E Club

    I had regretted ordering DMG while I waited the seven months for delivery -- the space white looks pretty cool in pics -- but that changed pretty quickly once I saw it in person, and I have now convinced myself it was far/away the right call. I did not warn my dealer off of installing the front...

    @hybrid2bev I am sorry, my mistake. And thank you @Gloff. Honestly a car lease is like Bitcoin to me. I constantly learn, then immediately forget, how it works. So it sounds like individual dealers can't pull any changes with Options. I dunno what other levers there are besides APR. (My...

    This has been a fun thread to be part of. It did not make the wait go any faster, but the misery liked company. And funny how neat it is to see different pics of this dumb car in the wild. Dumb as in awesome. Anyway here's 494/600 from batch 4754, finally wrested from my dealer's clutches. DMG...

    Thank you very much. I meant specifically, in the a correct Options lease, is the residual % / amount dynamic to the dealer, or entirely fixed by Ford central? (Given the obstacle course they put me through I don't trust a thing I hear directly.)

    Sean -- thank you for your help. I ended up landing with a semi-coherent person who only played half as dumb as his predecessor. (I wish I'd ordered w/ Serramonte. I'm a couple hours south of the Bay Area and, nice guy I am, gave the biz to my hometown dealer. Sad trombone. I am certain my car...

    So I picked up the car today, after the three days of dealer nightmares jaded the hell out of me. This is just a car, so it's overdramatic, but they seriously ruined the experience. Even when I landed with someone semi-coherent, he still worked to screw me at every turn. (I am also an idiot...

    @Gloff would you recommend I say something specific to a dealer who is playing semi-dumb on price protection? First was (a) they had no idea what PP was, then was (b) Oh, yes, there is PP, but they need *me* to provide documentation of it (I did), then (c) we actually have to speak to our Ford...

    Perhaps l will feel better when it’s all said and done. Just a matter of taking out the Mach-E cash I socked away in NFLX when I ordered. I haven’t checked the market lately but by now I’m sure it’s appreciated enough to offset the dealer markup.

    3/14/22 Build Week Gang

    Now engaged with dealer, and after seven months of patient (but also sort of 'fun') tracking, it's a frustrating way to attempt to end this process. Like so many, they are playing games with numbers and feigning unawareness of everything else. No such thing as price protection... until I send...

    OK I went a little further. It indeed shows post-Nov prices (+$2000 on my ER premium), but it also omitted the dealer ADM that has had me/everyone somewhat freaked out for the past few months. It also correctly applied the X-plan discount (2% of pre-destination-fee MSRP -$275). But the checkout...

    The finalize purchase screen did indeed have that option. I went like two steps down the path, entered in my X-Plan info, then saw what I thought was a non-protected post-November price and stopped. Fittingly, I was in the gas station when doing it, so I didn't compare $$. But I haven't looked...

    Just got the “finalize purchase” email and order tracking indicates car is at my dealer. My dealer historically/recently has used United, but notably my car never showed up in United tracking, and my dealer has shown no United deliveries in the last two weeks. Net: not just United at least here...

    Arrived in Fresno sometime yesterday. Once it leaves it has a stop in Stockton, then on to Richmond. (This car will have spent more time slowly sitting/circling within a 200 mile radius of me than it did getting all the way from Mexico -> KC -> California.)

    Sure. I found it somewhere but: First you need to get your railcar, which Ford chat can provide you. For sake of example: TTGX123456 Call BNSF at 1 (800) 235-2352. You can talk to the prompt but I will note how to use the pinpad instead. Press "1" for Location. (Or say "Location") Enter...

    3/14/22 Build Week Gang

    So: all of the previously stalled vehicles at Richmond, CA were picked up and delivered earlier this week. (Basically, couple days after I wrote that they were starting to get picked up.) 2-3 truckloads went, Fords of all types. As of this past Thu, there were no cars waiting in Richmond for...

    Ugh, I made the mistake of getting an account with United Road for my dealer and can now see (a) a sizable backlog of cars waiting to be driven the last 200 miles, (b) no deliveries in the past month, and (c) a handful of Mach-Es built a month before mine still waiting at the final railroad...

    I think mine was built/shipped around 3/22 or something, so if so, am sure they are at least until Barstow. (San Luis Obispo for mine. I have no idea what harebrained path it will take from Barstow to SLO.)
