07/18/22 Build Week Gang

[D’Roc]

Welcome to the gang! I originally was going to go with the Iced Blue Silver but then switched to Space White. I'm sure it'll look great!

Too funny. I was Space White and changed my order to Iced Blue Silver Metallic.
Definitely my two favorites of the existing colors.

My first post, the end is near...ordered a Dark Matter Gray 1/21/22 and like some of you got a build date or 7/11 but bumped back a week to 7/18. Select, AWD

How do you get the vin?

MME GT Dark Matter Grey' AWD ordered 3/10. How do you know if you have a VIN yet ?

I definitely assume we’ll get delivery before the end of Q3. My guess from other posts here is that delivery usually takes 3-4 weeks, so I’m expecting to get the car in mid August if nothing goes wrong.

My dealer sent me a screenshot of some tool they have access to that includes the VIN, so I guess you should ask them. But the window sticker isn’t available yet and I think won’t be for another month.

I got bumped another week, originally 7/11, then 7/18, today it was 7/25...anyone else?

I got bumped to 8/1

Mine keeps on slipping…into the future…

Now 7/25/22.

I am scared to check with Ford anymore. I ordered 12/1/21. Got production date of 6/27, then 7/4, then 7/11, then 7/18 last week. Now I am going to stop checking. Had to take my extra car back from my daughter because I sold mine. Now that she is working I need Ford to come on and get me my vehicle. I am too old to be getting dropped off at work. Also I am tired of joining new threads as my date gets pushed.

Got bumped to 7/25 as well. Welp, it’s been a treat 7/18 gang. Good luck with staying in your current dates!

Joining you from the 6/27 group (Premium AWD ER, ordered 10/26). Hope that we all keep this date!

Bumped here from 7/11. We will see what happens in next few weeks...

I had 7/18 then got punted twice to 8/1 and suspect I will be punted again.

I'm not likely going to take delivery of this Blue Premium so it's basically a freebie for dealer markup (boooo).

Well, I debated long and often about if I would end up interested in actually purchasing the vehicle when/if it ever gets built and delivered. In the end, I decided as long as the full Federal rebate is in place and price protection is honored (which implies no dealer games), I could drive it for a year and likely sell it at/above the cost I put into it, that it would be worth it by far.

That's actually a great plan if you have the tax liability and have garage space.

I plan to possibly buy another EV this year MINI/Solterra/GV60/Ariya and a second Mach-E after either buying the GTPE or Orange Premium would be iffy tax wise and I have zero desire to own three EVs simultaneously.

How did you switch? I tried to switch to red last week and was told I couldn’t.
