I got my car on Wednesday night. Today for first time on the highway and popped up error message Tire Pressure Sensor Fault. I turned the car on and off but it didnt help.

Delivery pushed back yet again, this time another 2 weeks. I feel like there's something wrong, it can't be normal for a car to be stuck for over a month at a ramp 3 hours away from the dealer :(

I'd reach out to your dealer at this point. I feel like the more annoying I was with my dealer, the more information about why things got delayed. It could be dependent on who they use for a convoy. They were telling me that it's been an issue in Iowa to get people to bring up a truck load because of low volume or just hard to get some scheduled. They don't want to just do like half a convoy if it could be 6 cars, so they might wait till more vehicles get there to try to book.

It would be nice to get in touch with them but phone calls go unanswered when they do it's reception who just passes me on to a sales rep's voice mail that never gets returned.

I kinda need a car at this point so I'll just start searching other EVs and hope I luck out and grab that instead. I'll lose the 1k deposit I put down on this but w/e this wait is kinda ridiculous.

Same here. I get the best updates calling Ford service directly. They cite a driver shortage as the most likely problem and suggest Tuesdays are the best days to check for an updated dealership delivery date.

The dealership responded to an email, stating the same thing, staff shortages.

the deposit should be refundable. it certainly should be if they fail to deliver at the stated time when you ordered.

Grabber blue Premium AWD extended range... just miles away from the dealer now, very excited to take delivery. Ordered last October, so hell, in some ways it's faster than I thought (I should wait until I actually get the car before I say that).

Installed a 14-50 plug for now, and ran #4 wire for a potential upgrade to a 60A circuit. I'll add a real charger soon, but for now will use the Ford Mobile unit that comes with the car. I'm planning to increase by 8 solar panels and a battery plant over the next year or so - I figure if the sh*t hits the fan I'm happy to be off grid and drive around the area to pick up water and food and drop off waste in style.

Very excited to get this car!
