Nice! I was thinking about getting another (possibly Ford) charger. I am just using the travel charger for now. Not sure if I will NEED the travel charger yet in my car, there seems to be ample supply of fast-charging stations in the South East. It would just be "it eases of mind to have it in my car" thing.

I took a road trip to SC last weekend and there were no issues. I am planning on taking one to Eastern NC this weekend, so it will be another test. As I get a feel for it, I will make a decision on another charger.

I think the only reason you'll ever need the travel charger in your car is if you're traveling overnight (or spending a long day) at someone's house where they have a 240 or 120 volt outlet but no charging unit themselves. So for me that's pretty much all my relatives :D

Otherwise, if you are headed to a charging desert where plugging into an outlet like that is the only option, it could come in handy.

We were at the shore over the weekend and I got to use my first Level 2 charger. Weirdly enough, it was cheaper to park GETTING A CHARGE ($.20 per kwh) then to park in the regular spots ($3 an hour).

Now on so called dark side, on compound at Antwerpen port.
Next steps at Antwerpen port, customs clearance, quality checks, and trucking dispatch for Switzerland.
All that can take till 8 weeks. Keeping faith of the delivery to be between mid June and beginning of July.

Glad to see progress for all of us, and envious of the ones who can already drive their pony.

However I hope to be the red lantern of this build week group. Might need a special badge.

PS: dark side = no tracing possibility till delivery

I think it backdates starts the day of pickup once you activate it, but you have 3 years to use it!

Come back to page 82 to see updates. I think they are saving the best for last. "NEVER HAVE I EVER" had sooo much fun driving a car and CAN'T wait for the few remaining to experience the same thing!!!!! Let's turn that frown upside down.

One hour later dealer says it’s ready for pick up. Never got a ford email or any indication it was delivered. Hopefully coming home with it tonight!
Nice! Don't forget about us like @TS0926 ?

Ooops. Didn't see this was being tracked. Car made it in on Saturday. Worst car buying experience ever! The dealer kept trying to sneak in more cost and undervalue my trade. Then tried to present an interest rate not in line with current rates. On top of that, the car salesman made a slander comment towards minorities. Talk about uncomfortable!

The car wasn't even dressed when it was time for the purchasing appointment.

Aside of that, the car is wicked fast. One pedal driving is a whole new ball game that is awesome. Super happy with the car.

Hope everyone else gets their car soon and have a more positive buying experience.

Sorry to hear about your experience, but happy you got your car finally. Make sure you leave them a review. I left my dealership one immediately so people know in the future who to buy from.

Just confirming my MachE also has the sensor. I followed the same DIY to get it activated and I now have a hands free lift gate! Great mod from the forum.
Just got done hacking my new car, too. Feels just like peeling off the ‘warranty void if opened’ stickers.

$35 cable, free software, a little reading, and a few simple updates. And now, kick to open is working on my car, too.

Is there an actual sensor on the underside? (I didnt see any). Does Ford just use the parking sensor on the bumper to detect motion?
