05/23/22 Build Week Chat

[Godawgs]

Nice to see so many deliveries occurring and overall smoothly... heard from my dealer today, mine isn't on the list for this coming week. Ford's website still says delivery from 8/1-8/7. I'm also not sure where it is. If it's currently on the boat then it could be here after this week. If it's still sitting at the dock then it could still be another 3-4 weeks. And if it's not even at the dock then it could still be 4+ weeks... as long as it's here within the next two months I'm fine.

Have you chatted with someone on the Ford site? One person was able to tell me it was scheduled for delivery on the 4th and sure enough it showed up. Going to the dealer today, but through the whole process Ford has been the best source for info in my case.

Is there any way to know if our Mach E got the new HVBJB part? Mine was built on 5/25-26 which was right on the cusp, I think. It would be very reassuring to know that I didn't have to worry about the hardware failure despite the software update.

I wish but not that I know of. Besides dropping the big battery and physically looking at the HVBJB part number.

Updated delivery time frame on the Ford website: 8/19-8/25. That seems like a really specific time frame (covering Friday through Thursday). I assume that means my Mach-E is currently taking its cruise, sailing the high seas and enjoying a fine diet of salt spray. Fits with my estimate. I'm still anticipating it could be September, but we'll see.

Hopefully I'll be the last one waiting in this build group - I don't think anyone on the mainland should have to wait as long as I understandably need to.

Yeah, been quiet on this thread lately, so you might be the last one on this thread to get yours.

Anyone else still waiting?

Just got back from a nice drive from San Diego to Solvang, CA. 517 miles round trip, 3.5 miles/kwh average.

DCFC twice, both at the Camarillo Premium outlets. Once on the way up and once on the way back.

I have the Premium ER RWD, but it still pulls very nice up hills doing 70-80 mph with 4 passengers and some luggage.

Love this car!!!! ?

I’m still waiting. I had no idea I might be the last one in the continental US haha. My window is 8/17 - 8/23, so hopefully this week!

Excited for you. Had mine for about a month now, could not be more pleased. Enjoy! While you pick yours up, i will be installing mud flaps

Ford said it's due in any time between today or next week. Dealer gets a list in the middle of each week saying what cars are being delivered in the coming week, and mine wasn't on the list from the most recent update. Makes me wonder how Ford is calculating their delivery estimates. We still don't know exactly where it is - or if the dealer does, they're not saying. They know there are vehicles due in two weeks from now, so hopefully mine will be in that shipment.

I had figured it would be delivered some time between early August to early September... and in a worst-case scenario, still under the one-year mark (since even the most egregious waits have seemed to be less than one year from the time of order, although there are a handful of stories on the forum where it took over a year). Should be getting close... really hoping for no damage in transit.

Anyone else still waiting? I figure I should be the last one in this thread who takes delivery, but I know some folks had their cars ship out a bit later than mine.

I brought my car home today! The salesman was either acting dumb or actually dumb because he couldn’t figure out how to access offers from order date on Smart Vincent or how price protection works. Luckily, I showed him a couple of posts from this forum and got 0.9%/48-month financing and $2000 deducted from the price (I thought I’d have to wait for a refund check at best).

All-in-all, a much better experience than I expected. There were three other Mach-E’s there, all black like mine. What are the odds of that? I’ve never even seen another black one in the wild.

Confirmed that my Mach-E is traveling by boat and due in by the middle of next week. Probably won't have time to get it on a weekday, so anticipate having it in my garage the weekend after this one. I guess my original forecast of it arriving around early September was right. That will make it an 11 month wait from when I first placed the order... whew!

Has Jim Click Ford provided you with a recent copy of the Vehicle Visibility Report? The dealer I went through had no problem giving me occasional screen prints of the VVR so that I could see its progress.

 

[Reign of Ravens]

Got the email from Ford about completing the purchase. I assume that means the vehicle is now physically at the dealership, or on its way and will be there soon. I can't get the car until Saturday, anyway, but it's finally happening... crossing my fingers there's no damage incurred while in transit.
