9/12/22 Build Week Chat

[squirreltech]

Anyone else had no progress yet? Mine still
Shows scheduled for production 9/12. So frustrating.

Mine was in production since 5 Sept and built 20 Sept but the tracker said in production 13 Sept. so it can take a bit. hopefully you see something soon.

This morning the tracker and Ford website showed (and continues to show) my Mach-E is built and awaiting shipment.
A few minutes ago I receive an email with this message:

Here’s the update we promised you on your order View Online

We understand it has been too long since you last heard from us. Just wanted to give you an update on the status of your Mustang Mach-E Premium order. While production of your vehicle was projected to begin the week of September 12, 2022, supply chain challenges continue to cause delays and uncertainty. This is frustrating, we get it. We want nothing more than to get your Ford up on the line and start assembling it. And we will continue to work hard to reduce the delays to try to get you on the road in your new vehicle soon. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as we get more information, at least once every 45 days. Hang in there. We really do appreciate your patience and understanding.​

For now I choose to believe the Built Status

Where are you getting that info? Website, Ford C/S, Ford chat? Maybe try alternate methods if only checking 1 source as updates aren't always accurate.

Keep the faith and good luck!

Ford website and chat.

I just got the useless email from ford saying that they know my build date was 9/12 but supply chain issues have posed challenges and they appreciate my patience. Ridiculous

Very few web cams for peering into MME production and distribution. For western deliveries via UP or BNSF, there is a live railroad cam at the Santa Fe Junction outside KC. Autoracks may move from KCS to UP or BNSF Argentine railyards through this busy rail crossing. Trouble is, there are lots of autoracks on some of these trains and the contents are not visible. Maybe you'll be astonished by the amount of spray paint used in applying graffiti to rail cars.

I'm hoping my MME order is arriving in KC vicinity in a few days. Chat told me it had crossed at Laredo 9/20. Chat also doesn't have a rail car number for me, but some others in the thread do and their MME is possibly on the same train. (Batch 8071, built 9/13, shipped soon after, crossed at Laredo, apparently 9/20, delivery ETA remains at 10/9-10/15.)

Okay how did I get sucked into actually watching that for a few minutes? The sound of screeching railroad cars must have mesmerized me.

Of course I did the same thing when we got a new washing machine with a window lid. I think I watched that whole load all the way to the end!

That is nuts, the amount of traffic thru that junction is amazing. $$$$$$$$$$$$$ Very impressive. Was skimming over the last 5 hours and realized that the camera gimbals and sometime zooms in on interesting stuff so someone is actively watching at least part of the time.

I was told mine shipped from the railyard in Mexico on 9/16 and will arrive at the railyard in KC on 9/25 - if anyone is wondering on timeline. From there it depends on final destination as to your mode of transportation and timing

Seems like the people on this forum's response to everything is beer...

...And to that, I say:

By the way, does anyone know how x-plan pricing works? My wife and I just found out that her company has x-plan partner pricing and I have a pin code now. Do I need to tell my dealer ahead of time or just show up with it on purchase day and see if they honor it? Anyone know how much of a discount this gets you?

 

[RedDragon]

dealers dont have to accept xplan. I got one by paying $30 bucks to sign up for mustang club of america. I made sure to find a dealer who accepted xplan and ordered it through them. i got it in writing ahead of time that my purchase would have xplan pricing.

You can contact your dealer and see if they will accept it. Its on a dealer by dealer basis.
