10/10/22 Build Week Fam

Same here, still no update past the dreaded Ramp 6P limbo. I'm so happy for everyone getting deliveries but this Ramp hell is getting old fast, especially with the possibility of a rail strike looming...

I’m also happy for everyone getting their cars. Good on you!

I was at 6R at Richards-Gebaur but released to Jack Cooper Transport on 11/10 to be taken to Ramp 6M at Argentine.
It hasn’t been checked in at Argentine and no update since 11/10. Dealer says it’s not uncommon. Dealer did say he’s expecting 6 Mach-E’s and 2 have moved recently.
BUT! No update from VinView since 11/10.

I'm with you. Shipped 10/12 and still at ramp 6P, according to ford chat.

In dramatic fashion, my new baby arrived on Black Friday.

Shout out to Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney. They took care of me and everything went smooth. Got my car for MSRP and financed at 2.49% for 72 months (March 2022 incentives). They also were able to get me a Ford Protect 10 year/100k mi comprehensive warranty for about $1,800.

Now on to more pressing matters. What to name my baby... 1) Eevee [Pokemon], 2) Baymax, or 3) Ghost [Game of Thrones]

Random Question - was I supposed to have / get a privacy cover for the cargo area - I see the clips for it - but that maybe all that is there - Just double checking

There was one installed on my select RWD...maybe it's stored under the deck in the rear?

@scottintucson - thanks - apparently my dealer says it is an add-on - not sure I need it anyways

My GTPE came with it. It wasn't an add-on and was preinstalled when I picked up my car.

Oddly, my dealer drilled the front license plate directly into the bumper instead of installing a front plate holder. ?‍

I have a select so it maybe either a dealer add on or based on trim level

I did have the package with the floor mats so that must have been part of it

Is anyone charging the car just with their mobile charger and a 240V outlet?

My electrician put in a 50 amp break and a 6/3 wire leading into a 240 nema 16-50. Do I have all i need at this point to charge with just the mobile charger?

I'd take a look at some of the chargers on sale for black Friday. It may be worth having a dedicated charger and keep the mobile one in the car for emergencies. Especially if your utility/state has rebates for chargers.

Also make sure you retain all of your receipts for the 30% federal tax credit for EV chargers and all necessary electrical upgrades! Ref IRS form 8911.

Seems my car has now reached doremus auto terminal in Newark, NJ. Which I think is the final destination by train a d now will go by transport to my dealer. Will be calling first thing Monday. Maybe next week will be my lucky week.

I'd be livid if I were you. At my dealer in CA, where front plates are required, the dealer still waits for the purchaser to tell them how to handle (or not) the front license plate bracket.

I’m not thrilled. I’m not sure what can be done about it, though.

At this point, very true, unfortunately.

I’ll send you a link to fillable caps that are placed into the drill holes tomorrow when I have a chance. It will match your paint color too
