04/04/22 Build Week Chat

[NJ_MachE]

I topped out at 995 modules as of this morning

Same thing happened to me-- they came back the next day to add exactly seven modules. I'm bracing for my next window sticker update (should come by tonight) just to make sure I still have Park Assist.

My window sticker (initially generated 3/29) has now been refreshed three times (4/4, 4/5 and 4/12). No changes other than the date at the bottom. I post this mostly to confirm that there's no sign Park Assist prep kit was ever swapped in. Now that my car has shipped, I think I can finally stop worrying about that.

I have the same batch as you: 5154 315/330, but my status just shows 'in production'. Is it typical that they don't complete a full batch in a week and may have to carry some of that batch over into the following week?

It's definitely typical, but usually by tonight(Tuesday night) they are starting to move on to the next build week. Haven't seen any activity in the 4/11 build week yet so hopefully that's a sign they are still wrapping up the last of our week still.

Just another update. Got the official "Built" email this morning. Estimated delivery is between May 17th and May 23rd to Charlotte, NC.

Not sure if other folks have seen this Mach-E price increase announcement effective tomorrow: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/mach-e-price-increase-effective-april-13-2022.16353/ In summary, prices are going up as much as 5.1k, but price protection supposedly protects all existing orders at the original ordered price.

My understanding from the discussion in that thread is that since all our vehicles already have window stickers, they have already been invoiced to the dealer and therefore will not be impacted by the price change (since Ford says they will not reinvoice existing vehicles). If that's the case, no need for us to worry about any chance of dealer shenanigans while attempting to get price protection honored. But I'm not 100% sure about this so welcome any additional insight.

I should mention this is completely separate from the December 8th price increase-- here's hoping anyone in our build week that price increase could impact (I'm talking to you, long delayed Premiums!) has no issues with price protection getting honored. (I ordered in January so for better or worse don't need to worry about that).

My fingers are crossed that my dealer honors our signed purchase agreement that’s $2k less than my window sticker.

Still sitting on “in production” with 1006 modules. ?

Hopefully hear something tonight.

Just received my "Shipped" email and also noticed the status was updated on the OrderTracker.app page, AND on the Ford Order Tracker

 

[tnd78]

The trackers are showing my MME has shipped, but I don't have the shipped status email yet.

 

[CarDreams]

I am also seeing shipped on the order tracker page. No email yet.

 

[jayemunr]

At least I still have some friends (increasing) hanging with me in production no man’s land!

 

[jayemunr]

Just bizarre. Another night of nothing. Other than the window sticker going from 4/11 back to the 4/9 date. I’m going backwards now! ?

 

[connoisseurr]

I received another shipped email last night. Maybe Ford is sending me 2 Mach-Es ?

I'm with you too. Although for some reason I don't have the notice that my vehicle has been in that status for more than 3 days (it has). I'm batch 5154 (Premium SR RWD). Also, my window sticker hasn't updated since 3/31/22.

That is REALLY weird, especially since 5154 went into production in the middle of last week. That must be SO FRUSTRATING!

Hope that this is just a software backlog and not indicative of a more serious holdup.
