Question that I have not seen in my searching through the forum. When I ordered the MME back in October the dealer said that the XYZ plan was not accepted. However, why when I go the complete purchase link now (not to bury the lede) I see a place to put in the XYZ pin. Just curious about that and if it will really override my original price agreement with the dealer.

I had the agreement up front that the dealer would accept X plan. It is on my original purchase order.

Congrats!!!!

I think our cars were on the same train and same car carrier from MO to Muncie. My car is ready for pickup as of this morning...but I cannot get mine until Thursday :-(

Here is my history.

Ordered a 2021 GTPE on August 23, 2021 (with Blue Cruise).

On September 27th converted to a 2022 in the system, but formally notified on 10/1/2021 that the car would be a 2022 (with a $750 voucher to cover the difference).

October 21, scheduled for production week of December 20th on the website and I also got my VIN.

I recall that following week that the website said the production week would be December 27th (no e-mail).

On November 1, I received an e-mail from Ford that confirmed my production the week of 1/3/2022.

On December 24th, an e-mail from Ford that confirmed the production the week of 1/10/2022.

On 1/6/2022 I got my first view of my window sticker (dated 1/6/2022). Build group 3565, 51/300.

On 1/15 the car had 1004 modules in the module tracking page and unofficially was "produced" (less computer chips). The expected delivery window was March 5-11.

January 19th a new window sticker was generated.

January 20th the car "off site" on 1/20/2022 and the new delivery window was June 3-9, (a 90 day slip).

January 31st a new window sticker was generated.

Feb 7th a new window sticker was generated.

On Feb 16th I noticed my car now has 1812 modules and one with new programming while it was off site. A new window sticker was generated.

At some point my palsapp tracking number changed from what was originally assigned.

Feb 23rd a new window sticker was generated.

March 2nd a new window sticker was generated.

March 11th a new window sticker was generated.

On March 18th it was brought back from off-site, and it was “built” The new delivery window was 4/1-4/7 (that I knew was just not going to be possible). Also, on 3/18 it was “released” on Ramp 5E, Santa Rita, VL. A new window sticker was generated. At 5:46 P.M. I got an email from ford saying, “Your Vehicle has been built.” However, less than an hour later at 6:43 P.M. I got an e-mail from Ford saying, “We’re working hard to assemble your vehicle, but it’s going to take more time than expected to finish it.”

On March 21st, It was “in transit”. It was at location Santa Rit-but also listed as “Delay – Convoy Carrier” on Santa Rit. The new delivery window was May 2-8.

March 27th a new window sticker was generated.

On March 29th the car shipped via Convoy.

On March 30th the car was received at Ramp 5C, Envios, EM. Later that day it was moved to Ramp 5J, Lacheria, Cuap. EM.

April 4th a new window sticker was generated.

April 7th it shipped via rail car.

April 8th it was “Received” and “Arrived” at Junction Point, Lecheria, EM.

April 11th it was Received and “arrived” at Junction Point (Kansas City Southern Railway Co.) in Laredo Texas.

April 12th a new window sticker was generated.

April 19th a new window sticker was generated. I believe this is when it departed Laredo TX.

April 20th it arrived on KCS rail at Intermati, MO

April 26th it departed Intermati, MO via Jack Cooper in the morning and it was received about an hour later in Muncie, KS and loaded onto a Union Pacific Train car the same day. It departed from Muncie Kansas that afternoon. ETA in Mira Loma CA (distribution center) was estimated to be 5/3 (about 7 days from Kansas to Mira Loma CA). UP tracking gave that the estimated date of arrival, but not the location of the train car. A new window sticker was generated.

April 27th the new arrival date estimate was 5/4 at 11:45 A.M. (one day delay).

May 1, the new arrival date estimate was 5/6 at 1:45 P.M. (3-day slip (AKA a 10 day journey) from the original estimate).

May 6th The car arrived at 10:43 A.M. local time on and confirmed to be “Constructively placed” in industry (aka Mira Loma California receiving yard), waiting to be unloaded. It was unloaded at some point that day, or at least by Saturday afternoon as the train car was now empty and heading to Texas. However, at 5:04 P.M. I got a new delivery window of May 30-June 5th (a 28-day slip) on both the website and an e-mail from Ford. A new window sticker was generated.

May 8th I got the “Complete your Mustang Mach-E purchase” e-mail from ford.com and the website now has a check mark under shipped and is in final preparation.

May 9th a new window sticker was generated. I spoke with my salesperson, and he confirmed the car was there and getting prepared yesterday.

Although the car is now prepped and ready , the next window I have with the salesperson is to get the car on Thursday evening.

It will be 37 weeks, 2 days (261 days) from order to when the car is available for pick-up for my order at least (263 days from order to pick-up).

Those changing dates on the window sticker drove me CRAZY...

Those changing dates on the window sticker drove me CRAZY...

They did at first…but then I realized the ONLY thing changing was the date. I still believe it was every time that someone interacted with the car…sometimes working on it- or moving it…other times probably topping off the charge level to 50% keep the batteries optimally active until it could get delivered.

I have question for those who got our cars. Looking to buy accessories.
To verify Premium does NOT come with retractable cargo cover?
Also thinking of getting a sun screen as I live in SUNNY south fl and have no garage,

Mine is on the last leg of the journey. The train stopped in Pasco, WA at 11:26pm last night. My spread for delivery to my dealer, which is 225 miles away, ends on Sunday. The wait sucks!!!!

 

[jfwyant1966]

So, my car is 225 miles away and Ford updated my delivery spread to 5/31 - 6/6.

After a wait of 263 days...our Cyber Orange GTPE has finally arrived home. I am pleased to report that not one flaw has been found yet...inside or out. Drove over 2 hours in horrible LA rush hour traffic...and BlueCruise for maybe 20 of the 50 miles or so. So far super impressed with the car. Have not had a chance to really experience it much yet with all of the traffic, but did manage to get 3.7mi/kWh on the first drive. For the couple of seconds I had to tap the accelerator-wow-what a rush.

My MME has the acoustic glass that was standard on 2021 GT and Premium models (even though it was deleted for 2022 vehicles on the official order features).

Best sales person I have EVER dealt with-and best buying experience (other than the painfully long wait that is not in the dealers control). Price Protection- done...no BS accessories...5 stars to Neil Stone-Galpin Ford. If you are in LA and still looking (probably not those on this thread)...could not recommend a sales person higher. He did 100% of the transaction...not the person in the back room that tries to pressure you into other "features". I could not recommend a sales person more.

FYI: First tune as I pulled out of the dealer lot: Steppenwolf: Magic Carpet Ride.

Thank you to everyone on the list for the support. For those who still have an empty barn...the log jam is clearing and cars are getting out. From my first experience-worth the wait.

I am also happy to report for me...that the very first MME GT PE in Cyber Orange that I saw (other than a show room or car show...was our car. I have only seen a hand full of GT and GTPE.

 

[jfwyant1966]

I just found out the train is not going to go over the Cascade mountains from Pasco, WA. They are going the long way around through Vancouver, WA. That adds a couple hundred more miles to the trip.

So, my car is 225 miles away and Ford updated my delivery spread to 5/31 - 6/6.

Every week, like clockwork, Ford updates my Sheduled Delivery another week out.

 

[roroshah]

I'm in shock right now because my dealer just got a delivery from United Road, and the pickup was from the Wilmington Ramp where my car has been for a week, but my car wasn't on the transport receipt!!!

Mine came with the cargo cover.

Mine came with the cargo cover.

I found it. Looks like it is permanently attached

Anybody else find tempered glass on their front side windows?

My 1/4 build GTPE has it.
Or I should say the GTPE that will be mine (haven’t signed the papers yet) has it.
