We did all the work ahead of time only to have the dealer's finance person mess it all up. As soon as we get our account number, we're going to refinance through our credit union.

Yep, I got there today and they kept trying to do a standard 36 month loan...I finally had to pull up Ford's website, pulled up options page after building a fake Mach-e, and they were like "what is this we didn't know this existed" Good news they're ironing it out, let me drive it home on a "rental" agreement no rent, but had to cover it leaving the lot. Supposed to go back Monday or Tuesday. Everything else is looking good. No adm, no extra stuff, xplan pricing in place. They're still arguing the point on price protection, cutting me a check vs the dealer...as long as I get that part in writing that they will cut the check when they get the credit I guess I'll have to roll with it.

Picture with my 2 boys at the dealer.

I got the same email. Not happy about being told to expect a delivery at the end of March on Wednesday and then being told it is now the beginning of May.

I just got the same email also. It went back to Mid May from mid March.

Saw this station in Los Angeles on a news report, this must be the highest in the country. According to that "Sofitel" name, it's the Mobile station on La Cienga and Beverly Blvd.

In other updates, and this is a true story, I got the Built email like all of you, then I woke up and actually, still didn't even get that. Noticed on a Premium RWD SR battery, there are 1768 lines/chip modules in MotorCraft AsBuilt page. Starting to see 2022 Premiums show up in the tracker now at least.

Looks like it.

Good morning, everyone. Anyone get any good news today? Has anyone seen a change in module loading or update?

 

[RickMachE]

Status again not working. Having checked modules (all along). Account status is showing Built, and may arrival. As I said prior, likely wrong, I expect it to ship within days.

just curious, is your 2022 “built” Premium, AWD, ER showing 1004, 1812 or a different # of modules loaded? Hope it ships soon for you and all of us.

I have no idea. I pulled the As Built when it was done, and it was the same size file as my 2021. I didn't go module by module and compare them, nor did I count modules.

I didn’t count either, but copying the list and dropping it into a spreadsheet like Excel or Numbers with numbered rows gets the answer fairly quickly. Comparing can be done by the spreadsheet and built in commands.

My 2021 has 1,831 rows. My 2022 has 1,812 rows. Given that they've been changing the design as they go, no idea if that is meaningful or not.

What I'm doing and your best bet is just find any 2022 in the tracker that matches your config and put it in excel or other spreadsheet and compare. I see a lot of differences for my non-built and a 2022 delivered Premium, RWD, SR.

Does anyone have an opinion on which tracker is more accurate? When I go to my reservations page after signing into my ford.com account, it shows:

When I use the https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking link and it returns something, it doesn't indicate "built" or an ETA in March.

Yes, thanks. That tells me that a “built” notice truly has all modules loaded (as one would expect) - but of course, updating addresses and instructions can be ongoing.

Yup, been there, done that. Just checking how much to believe “”Built”. Also, getting another datapoint that 1812 is the target number for 2022 Premium, AWD, ER. I see that delivered have same number of modules, but (I suspect as updates happen), sometimes different addresses and instructions. I’m stuck at 1004 modules since Jan. 26.
