Here she is!

@worachj
I just can't believe it! It's actually here! I love it! My wife suddenly expressed her "doubts" about an EV as soon as I brought it home. Thanks for telling me, now! She will need to be re-educated!?

The buying experience was fine. On Monday, I got a text that it would be arriving yesterday. It actually came in that night as they were closing. They plugged it in and left the cleanup for Tuesday.

I arrived on time after work for my 4 p.m. appointment on Tuesday. Some guy with bad credit was ranting about the "system" and my salesperson was taking the brunt of it, so there was a delay.

The finance guy went through all the paperwork and I signed, got the customary walkthrough (99% of which I already knew from this Forum), and I was on my way! No ADMs!

One thing I did find out for sure is that had my original order date of 11/25/22 stood (I changed my order twice - once on 12/30/22 and again on 1/31/23), I would NOT have qualified for the $2,000 bonus cash. Bad news, I know, for those with order dates before 1/31/23. Reordering the day I did made me just barely qualify for it. A relief, for sure.

That's it. Everything was great. I expected the long wait and so it wasn't an issue for me.

Best of luck to all who are still waiting on theirs. It's worth the wait!

UPDATE: My wife took a ride in it last night (5/24) and is warming up to it! "It's pretty nice," she said. High praise from her. I feel her doubts melting away!

So excited you got it!

Interesting about your original order date. My order date was 10/19/22, and I did qualify for the $2,000 rebate. Or at least the dealer found it in the system and applied it for me.

Art;
Congrats! Your car looks amazing. Great choice, she is a beauty! So happy for you.

Seems like the build date to final delivery speed has improved a lot … it’s about time! Glad everything worked out.

Interesting. Was I sold a bill of goods, as they used to say, or was your dealer mistaken and you got something you shouldn't have? No matter. We both got our $2K!

No idea!

You got the Feb 2023 pricing, right? Not the 2023.5? I'm curious if the people who said their dealer repriced their already built cars will actually drive off the lot with the 2023.5 price (and their BC and mobile charger).

this can't be true. my order date is 9/26/22 (never changed) and i have the $2,000 bonus cash offer; it was in smart vincent along with the ford credit rate at the time of my order. the offer notes i've seen from my dealer doesn't have a start date - just that it is in effect for MY23 orders before 5/1 and deliveries between 4/25 and 7/5.

i have pretty much all the paperwork done on my MME except for the darn actual car and the bonus cash is prominent.

OK. Maybe I was sold a bill of goods. More likely the guy made a mistake. They are a pretty honest, straightforward dealer. In any case, I got it. Glad you did, too!

agree - most likely just a misinterpretation from limited information; no knock on them at all.

happy to recoup some of the ephemeral losses we've seen over the life of our order! ?

Yes, I got that Feb. '23 Price Drop. I have BlueCruise & Charging Cords in my car.

But not the additional $4k drop from May 2023, correct?

She’s here and I am so happy ?

Our dealership was great (Brandon @ Tuttle-Click in Irvine). We were at the dealership for an hour total - February pricing, $2k bonus cash offer, charger and blue cruise included. No dealership add-ons and we had a great experience.

The car is so fun to drive (though feels huge after driving a Fiat 500e for the past 5 years), tint shop and a ceramic coating are on the short term to-do list.

She's a beauty! Black is my fave - just a nightmare to keep clean in the desert!
