Nearly identical to mine.
Just received my "Built" status on 5/22, so I'm now just waiting for it to get shipped.
My "last update" never changed once the car left Kansas city while it was traveling on NS. But the phone tracing does work. Mine has been unloaded at the final rail stop, but last update has not changed, like ford doesn't know yet.
Congratulations! Looks beautiful. And thanks for the reminder to buy the adapter! Anyway with any luck i may see my MME this weekAnd here she is. Tomorrow, I think I'll apply ceramic coating if the weather holds out. We live sort of in the sticks on a private gravel road so dirt and dust are a way of life around here.
Random Observations thus far (after the dealer removed the shipping chocks from the front springs!):
- UI is more responsive than I expected. I had read of some complaints about a laggy UI and while it's not iPad or iPhone level smooth, it's pretty good--far better than any previous car I've had.
- PaaK refused to setup and just instantly throws an error about not being able to contact the servers. Resets, reinstalling the app, etc. had no effect. I can live without it, but it'd be nice to have since it's supposed to be there.
- Ride is good. We live in the mountains of NC so switchbacks and twisty roads are common here and the Mach E handles it well.
- Interior fit and finish is excellent and the seats are very nice. I have not sat in the back yet so unknown how those feel but we are empty nesters so unlikely to often have people back there.
- Only briefly tried a fast charger (Shell Recharge on the Cherokee Reservation) and got ~60kw. Process went smoothly once I got the app setup on my phone. All I had to do was plug in and open the app to scan the QR code on the charger. And it only took about 30 seconds for somebody to walk up and start asking about the car! There was also another Mach E there charging too.
- The "Propulsion Sound" setting is so subtle that it's neigh impossible to detect except on Unbridled mode. And even there it's still pretty quiet. Personally, I prefer as little noise from car as possible so I keep it toggled off anyway. Of course, if I could change the sound to a Jetson's UFO then I'd never turn it off!
- So far, whisper mode feels like my favorite mode of the three.
- The adaptive cruise works very well but haven't had a chance to try out BlueCruise since the nearest interstate for that is about 75 minutes from here.
- Power from the car is amazing. I especially like that there are no shifting gears and if you set a speed in cruise it just stays glued to it (as long as nobody slows down in front of you!)
- Sound system (B&O) sounds great to us but we're not audiophiles nor do we need the whole county to be able to hear our music.
- The UI is pretty but I feel like the various settings could be better organized. I'd love to be able to customize the "tiles" that sit below the map.
- Ambient lighting is cool and gives a kind of “living in the future” vibe.
- The styling of the car is amazing--we just love it. One person thought it was a Porsche!
- Ours was the first Mach E our dealer had sold. They said they'd sold a number of Lightnings though.
- Bought a Tesla to J1772 adapter and put it in the trunk just in case.
Watching cars built weeks after mine get delivered, it has to be they kept the assembly line moving even though they didn't have all the parts.
Our son works on an assembly line and he says sometimes they don't have a part but they keep building so vehicles made before and after on the same day will be complete but that window of production will have to wait for a part.
Mine says in production 4/5 and built 4/6.
We're in the same boat, no idea what the hold up is (probably waiting to get enough vehicles to truck them to the dealership). Dealer said car should be here mid to end of May, so they technically have 7 days. Ford tracker says June 3 to June 16, car built on 4/6 shipped on 4/8.
