6/20/22 Build Week Gang

[Renton777]

Awesome to hear, happy for you! This kind of update is what keeps me on the hook of eager anticipation as my last update was on 7/12 on ramp 6U and today is the last day of my original delivery window. I just want a text out of the blue that my car is at the dealer as well, lol!

Finally got an update. As of this morning the vehicle was located on Ramp 07, Ohio Asy, OH. I am not sure exactly where that is in Ohio, but I am speculating that stands for the Ohio Assembly Plant which is only 20 mins from the dealer. However, I have seen people waiting weeks for their cars to travel that last bit. ETA vai Ford Chate was 8/21. We shall see, but its nice to know the car is close.

"It's only 80 or so miles".. From SD?

Ok, slightly exaggerated ... 115 miles

Website just bumped it into next week - got off the train last Saturday … it’s only 80 or so miles, c’mon!!!! Hate this part of the wait.

WELL... I wrote that at 11:30pm yesterday, and who calls me on my cell this morning at 9:30 but my dealer!!!! Pony arrived either last night or early this am. PDI and detail and charge should have taken the weekend and we scheduled for Tuesday delivery.

4:50pm today, friendly rep calls, "it's ready, how about tomorrow or Sunday?"

So, 1pm Sunday the adventure begins!!!!!!!

My GT arrived two weeks ago, but due to paperwork wasn’t ready until this week. Got it in to the shop for some PPF, tint , and ceramic, and drove it home last night. The difference in power between my old premium and the GT is shockingly palpable. This thing is a blast to drive!

Not making much progress, it seems. The GM at Frontier Ford has been telling me for weeks that it would be 8/19, which would be 2 days longer than Ford quoted 8/11-8/17, which is okay.

It's making progress. Yday it was at Richard Gebaur ramp and today its at argentine ramp. The transit part is done it seems where most cars I saw in past stuck for 1-2 weeks. Now just waiting for railcar number which will be heading towards Richmond.

I appreciate that. So next is railcar headed straight to Richmond? Would you let us know, when it moves?

Had a relatively good experience at the dealership today. I was able to get the protected 2.49% options with rebate of $2500 (order date 1/21). I politely and firmly declined the $3995 warranty (will get from the recommended site found here) and the $995 LoJack security. I ended up taking the PermaPlate for $1200 (7 year interior and exterior). After getting Xplan pricing and incentive protection, I felt kind of obligated (wuss move on my part but … picked my battles).

Now charging and learning all there is to know now!

Best part - BlueCruise kicked in literally as soon as I got on the I-8 freeway. This pony is a very fun, quiet, comfortable, fast, solid, well put together ride.

Mine still says it's still at the Richards-Gebaur ramp. Guess I am stuck again. Enjoy your cars, I'll see mine in October...

Yeah, that's what Ford chat told me this morning.

My delivery window has been shifted to the same week (9/9-9/15 from 8/11-8/17):

When we picked up the CR1 on Aug 7th, I told our salesperson that if another Mach-E became available to let me know. Well he called at 2 PM today (8/15) and said if we get there fast they have an Ice Blue Premium AWD that the person who ordered it decided not to take. We zoomed down there and now we are the proud owners of two MMEs.
The other bonus is that today is the last day to get the $7500 tax incentive, if you didn't have a binding order.
The only slight bummer was that this dealer advertises no dealer mark ups, but they charged us a $2000 mark up. Tried to argue it, but they said take it or leave it, in so many words.
Did end up getting a good price on our trade in after some hard dealing. Got them come up to my original offer by indicating, either give me what I want or I'll sell it myself. We were only asking KBB Trade In value. Guess they really want used cars.
