My 2022 RR Prem 4x Ext range arrived at dealer in Bay Area today. Going in tomorrow to pick it up. They honor xplan etc. They cannot seem to see a way to honor pricing from Oct 2021 invoice.
Congratulations on your new Mach-E! How was your buying experience at Ford Store Morgan Hill? Were they able to give you the MSRP from the 2021 invoice (before the $2000 increase)? Did they trick you in buying any unwanted extras? Did you get x-plan?

Unfortunate they did that to you and happy that you got the car.

I did receive a signed contract from my dealer with all numbers, x plan pricing, option plan info etc etc. at time of order. I hear all kinds of stories of what dealers do , just sours the experience.

there are dealers out there that do the right thing.
I treat that 500 adm as tips..... Let them have and enjoy it.....
As for add-ons - it looks like it a standard now in LA..... All dealership do add-ons right on arrival and give you no choice but get them

Although I live in NY I have searched for cars here in Florida and a number of dealerships add on $750 just because, and that’s on all cars and that was before the shortages, so I get it.

one time many years ago a dealer added on an alarm system when I specifically told them I didn’t want it. I told them when I went to pick up the car I didn’t want the alarm system and when the manager came in the finance guy said I ordered it and I called him a liar. I said take it out, they said no, I walked out and got a call two hours later that I could have the car with alarm system but didn’t have to pay for it. Of course that was before shortages and the car was a run of the mill Mazda. Today they would told me to pound salt and sold it to someone for a nice markup.

it’s still wrong to do that at the last minute. Just tell us up front and then we can decide to live with it.

enjoy the car.

Did you also get x-plan on top of all these?
Unfortunately, no. When I had the dealer accepted my online order back in September, they agreed to x-plan discount based on MSRP on paper window sticker. I never thought the MSRP would increase in October then again in December. So I took the price protection instead of x-plan since it would be $2000 instead of $1178. luckily, they didn't charge a huge amount of documentation fee about $250.

20/20 hindsight is a b*&^h. Just enjoy the car. The satisfaction from driving that car is priceless!

It's really bullcrap what these dealers are doing. They are supposed to do X-Plan on the original order with the first price increase (and the offsetting $750). Then $2,000 off. That's over $800 people are being screwed out of.

Hey, just found this thread. Obviously haven't read through from the beginning haha. But nice to see many from the 1/3 production week have been getting their vehicles! Are there others like me who have seen absolutely NO movement on their order?

I got my VIN already, but no modules have been activated, can't access my window sticker, and my reservation still shows a production week of 1/3/2022. I'm not sure what is going on anymore.

GTPE order placed on 7/26/2021

Edit: Never mind....they finally printed my window sticker! Does that mean it's built? LOL

Window sticker just means it getting ready to being built

I ordered mine 7/31/2021. No updates on the Ford.com site (shows "In Production/In Progress" as status with the "Scheduled for Production" week as 1/3). The Ford Order Tracking website now shows estimated delivery as 5/25 (it's been bumped a couple of times). Modules show active, dealer says it's either on a chip hold or waiting for transportation. In the upper right corner of your window sticker, to the left of the VIN, there's a batch number showing how many vehicles being produced in that batch and where your vehicle is within that group (mine: 003316 297/540). If you read through this thread, you can learn more about that and get an idea of where others are around you with their orders. You may be in the same batch as me based on when you ordered. If I'm not mistaken, without reading through it again, I think some folks in the first 200 of this batch have received, or are in the process of receiving their MME.

I'll say again that my dealer in the Richmond VA area honored the X-Plan price that was locked on 10/1 /21 on the 2022 that I ordered that day. I was price protected and the dealer received from Ford the $2000 delta between the 10/1/2021 price I paid and the 1/10/22 going price (the day I bought it). I.E., not all dealers are screwing the MME buyers after our long waits.

No..... You need to get it from them at the time of order..... But I doubt you can find any dealership that would give it to you..... And even if you get it there is no problem for them to just quit and say we refuse to sell you the car on this conditions......

Hmm, I got that in my process before order and during, I asked about add-ons and they confirmed none of that too.

I think it really just depends on the dealership still and some won't play any games I feel. They're out there from following practically every thread here (yes, it's work to find them, but not too much work).

May be you can find those if you know about all that shit ahead of time.....
Otherwise it is ok to fuck you up and rip you off and take all the money from you........ I understand that

Yeah, I was 003372 7/630. I'm just glad it's at least been built. If it's just waiting for a chip, hopefully once they get it'll get "finished" and shipped sooner :D
