05/23/22 Build Week Chat

[jason330i]

In an unexpected turn of events, my Mach-E, production date (5/25), build date (5/26), shipped date (6/6), arrived at my dealer in Southern California last night (6/22), and I’ll be taking delivery tomorrow!
From my knowledge this was a lot quicker than most CA deliveries, so I was super stoked and surprised when I received the email from Ford this morning. =)

dang it! i was trying to be #2 to post a delivered pic on this thread.

congrats!

That's crazy! I don't understand but it seems like the recall information is playing issues with our production timelines. I'm batch 6074 84/305. My car was "In Production" on 5/27 until is showed Built on 6/14. It shows "In Transit" but I still see it at the factory since 6/14. It hasn't left yet.

Ford seems to be holding these cars for some reason.

I'm in Batch 6133 with a Build Date of 6/15. Chatted with Ford this morning and was advised mine was in Laredo TX. They wouldn't or couldn't provide a Rail Car #. Is it possible yours has shipped and the Rail Car is blocking GPS so you're seeing the location from the last time it communicated?

It's a good question. I just called Ford and now they are saying the car is in Texas but like you no other information they were able to provide.

I just took a snapshot of the FordApp. It shows that I was able to connect but the address is still in Mexico. I don't know if I beleive the app or the Ford rep. If she had a railcar#, it would make me believe the car is truly in Texas. Not sure I understand why the app shows Mexico.

Does price protection plan include interest rate at time of order? If any one knows

I'm going to be optimistic and say our vehicles are on the same Train and will arrive at the KC transfer location Monday or Tuesday.

I posed that question to the dealer I'm going through and their answer was "no;" the financing that's available is only what's offered at the time the sale/purchase is completed.

Price protection and incentive protection are two completely different things. Incentives are locked to the order date or the sale date in the Smart Vincent application. There are many threads here on how incentives are protected.

After a week, my Mach-E has finally shipped! Anybody else on Railcar # TTGX691597???

So what you're saying is Incentives are protected and interest rates are *not*?

Special interest rates are incentives so yes the are protected. But keep in mind that a dealer can add points to them if they want.

Well, I decided to try to track my rail car. My dealer gave me the car #. After a very frustrating half hour on CSX phone # (~ 10 calls), I finally got the system to understand my railcar's ID. Then it said the car was "empty" and "released by the customer" I won't try that again!

So in the middle of May I was calling Ford Dealers in San Antonio and I got lucky that the day I called, someone had canceled their Space Metallic White Premium AWD Mach-E, and I went into the dealership to talk about how this could now become my order. At the time there was a confused salesman who had the new car sales manager come out and promise the car to me. No numbers were discussed, as there wasn’t a VIN for the car yet or window sticker. I didn’t take anything to prove the car was mine either. So I reached out to the business associate I spoke to when I initially called who let me know about the canceled order and he ensured me that the vehicle is now mine and put into my name! Which I was LUCKY and thrilled. Either way, it went into production 5/26, built 6/13. I went into the dealership yesterday because I requested a purchase order for my bank. Well the dealership was trying to up charge MSRP from window sticker by 5K, which isn’t terrible, but wasn’t spoken about. Needless to say, I got into it with the manager who reminded me that he could sell the car to someone else for 10K over if I didn’t want it. He then tried to lie and pulled out a window sticker with a 5K mark up and say he showed me that and we agreed to that. After I made him look like an idiot because of the fact that he lied to me in my face since there wasn’t even a VIN when the car was put into my name, he lowered the price by 2K and now I only have a 3K up charge.

So anyone in this build week dealing with the dealership adding 5-10K on their vehicle once it arrives? I believe there are only 2 people that have gotten their car…

Got the “Complete Your Purchase” email today also. Called the dealership, there was some confusion, but heard back from them 30 minutes later that it was in! Going to pick it up tomorrow ?
