11/28/22 Build Week Gang

Yes, that's my question too!

Will my $6500 transitional model year PCO stack with the lower MSRP ?

According to others who have already purchased within the past month using their full PCO, their dealer said FoMoCo is sending out refund checks for the price drops.

So I am hopeful it will stack.

Fingers crossed they stack for you. I was part of this build week, '23 Mach E GT with PCO. Original build date 11/30, promise date 12/31, actual delivery was 1/21. I walked away from it and bought a M3 LR when Tesla did the price cuts. I couldn't justify the $13k difference, and didn't want to miss out the Tesla price cuts.

It's been bittersweet. I really wished they delivered the GT by 12/31 as originally promised.

Oh, wow, didn't know that deadline was the issue.

Well then I feel the same - looking at 4th delivery delay - looking at mid February.

If it does not make it by the IRS battery ruling, I will walk away too.

Fingers crossed you get it before the IRS ruling, or that Ford qualifies for the full $7500

Railcar made it to Louisville today. Now to see how long it takes to transport from railyard to dealership?

Good grief...Ford's logistics services just cannot get out of their own way. None of their systems talk to one another. It is literally like watching Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First" skit.

Today I called salesperson to see if he had any update for me and he says it still shows in Kansas City. I call Ford and they tell me that it is now in a city in the next county over from here. (this also matches what Norfolk Southern phone system told me over the weekend...i just hoped that meant the car had been offloaded from railcar in Louisville before it left).

So either the salesperson is not really looking it up, the system he is looking it up in is wrong or the system that Ford is tracking the railcar in is wrong...or all of the above and there is no idea where the vehicle actually is.

The waiting continues

Ask your dealer specifically for the VINview tracking. Sounds like they are giving you the latest from VVR which is much less frequently updated.

VINview updates are based on the GPS location of the car itself and therefor are the most accurate.

He said he was although I am not there to see 'what' he is doing. The ford call center and the NS phone system both show the same thing as one another. Just frustrating because it really should not be this difficult. I have ordered vehicles, Ford vehicles, before and have never dealt with the constant snafu's as this process.

Just got a new window sticker with the lower price. Interestingly what everyone here called the "batch" number has changed.

Did you notice any of these other differences?

1) order of things listed under Interior and Functional changed
2)Under Interior - Previous sticker listed "USB A(1)/C(1)-1st/2nd Rows" whereas the new sticker does not list this
2)Under Functional - Previous sticker listed "Bluecruise" and new sticker lists "Bluecruise 1.2"
3)Special Order number changed between sticker versions
4)Batch/order info in upper right hand preceding VIN changed between versions

Yes same changes on mine

Edit: Except mine never had USB A/C 1st/2nd Rows listed.

Congrats!

Out of curiosity, was the new pricing reflected in your purchase? I have not heard anything from Ford or my dealer on the matter so was wondering what your experience was

Yes dealer charged me the lower price. I checked my tracking online and my window sticker was showing the lower price yesterday
