Like some unlikely miracle, my dealer emailed me that my car arrived. It was freed from Newark with no indication from United Rental (I will find out how it was ultimately delivered later). I also received an email this morning from Ford instructing me to finalize the purchase. This was the first timely email ever from Ford. I will follow up with the dealer tomorrow and see what I can do to expedite delivery. My lower rate financing is only good until July 12th but I'm hopeful (see Kdigio86 above) that the patch is sooner vs. later. Now the dealer has to behave normally and we might be done soon with this thing ?

How long were you in Newark. I've been there like a month.

About 3 weeks

About 3 weeks

Where is your dealer located. Mine is in Lomg Island.

My dealer was 80 miles away in Bridgeport CT. Based on the prior MME deliveries from this group, cars have sat 1.5-4 weeks in Newark. My hunch/guess is that you get delivered this week.?. Although I tracked my VIN via United Road and my dealer gets deliveries from United, my car was delivered by a different carrier and it just showed up at the dealer (a few other members had a similar experience). I don’t know why dealers can’t get more involved in the final miles of deliveries but I have not seen many stories of them providing info or assistance. Hang in there.

Shipped May 7. Still in Kansas City. Waiting for a train. Headed for north east Massachusetts. This is no way to run a circus.

Gave the MME a wash and wax today. A little rubber/plastic dressing on the wheel arches and rockers really cleans up the Select trim. Wishing all the 4/11 build week good luck, for those who have not yet received their cars.

I’m a Mach E owner. Could’ve grabbed it last Thursday but we were away till today.

Pick up at the dealership went flawlessly with no games at all.

I received a call from my rep at Galpin Ford who said my car arrived there last night. The last info I received from Ford was the car was built on 6/14 and expected to arrive Aug 8 to 14. Mine was one of the GTs in batch 5303. I also received an email from Ford last night with the link to complete my purchase. I am waiting for him to send me a picture to prove it is really at the dealership.

That's awesome! Mine is also Batch 5303 GT and I know it is currently on a train from Muncie KS to Industry from tracking the railcar on Union Pacific (I assume Industry, CA?) Hoping I am right behind you!!! Post some pics when you see your car!

This is really great news if it turns out your car is already there. Almost time to get my hopes up again!

Finally picked it up at the dealer today. Various complications delayed the whole process—won't even get into it, but in the end pricing worked out, and the car is so worth it. Great to be on this (long) journey with you 4/11 crew, from Mexico factories to Laredo to Ramp 4H to Newark purgatory to recall hell. Hope everyone gets their ponies soon.
