Thanks everyone, coming from So Cal where our garage was super tiny that was one of my must haves when we relocated to Eastern Idaho and built a home.

Not much to report on the Mustang as the wife's been out with it all day so far. I think she's finding any reason or errand to run right now just to drive. LOL

But hands down the Mach E is way sexier then the Model Y, no questions about it.
At least you have yours in your possession. I picked mine up on a Friday and dropped it off for buffing then PPF and Ceramic last Monday. Hoping to get her back tomorrow to really give it a run!

Still don't have 60 miles on her yet...

Can you also give us your price you paid for the PPF and Ceramic?

Thanks

Tomorrow, 11/2/22, is day 330 (almost 11 months) of the BIG WAIT for my MME order to be delivered. Built 9/13/22, 49 days have passed, and the last update on its location was 9/27, Ramp 6R, Missouri.

Total is about $8K. Doing Xpel Ultimate Plus on entire car, Xpel Fusion Ceramic over the PPF and tinting 2 front windows to match rears.

Next week it goes in for soundproofing floor, doors, hatch and sub install - 2 days.

I'll get to enjoy her after that!

Any chance yours had a damaged in transit incident? Really sorry to see a few folks with these kind of delays!

Gotta love Ford's tracking...

Original delivery date was 10/19-10/25. On 10/24 when I pinged my dealer, they confirmed it was in the rail yard waiting for a 30 minute truck ride to them. At 12AM EDT 10/25, Ford updated my delivery window to 11/23-11/30. A five week adjustment for a 30 minute trip. Now, this evening, Ford decided that was too much delay. My new window is now 11/1-11/7. Not sure how they got 11/1 as nothing is getting delivered tonight...

I felt fortunate to have avoided 6R, but with those people finally seeing movement, it'll be a race to see if a car can make it from 6R to delivery in CO/UT/NV/ID/CA faster than a car can make it 30 minutes by truck.

Not sure on cost yet. I use a local custom bike shop - His detail/trim guy is a perfectionist. Since he's the only place I work with I don't ask for a price, just tell him what I need done. I was hoping to get it in late this week but they took 2 bikes out to SEMA.

The last 2 installs I've done have been exclusively Ground Zero speakers with SoundDigital amps and DSP. He suggested them on my Range Rover install and they turned out incredible. Last year he customized my Wrangler 4xe with 10 competition Red Baskets and 2 12" Hydrogen subs matched to 3 amps/4500watts - it ROCKS!

There's a chance my premium AWD ER red MME order is:
-sitting in the sun for 5 weeks waiting for a ride to California...
-parts hold in Richards-Gebaur, MO...
-driven by an expert car thief in Albuquerque...
-on a train to (anywhere but California)...
-sold by my dealer to folks willing to pay $20K ADM...
-totaled, fell off forklift retrieving it from ditch after CONVOY wreck in Arizona...
-abducted by aliens...
-actually on a train near Mira Loma, CA (ramp CH27) arriving 11 months after order...
None of which has been reported to me by Ford, except the "sitting" part.

Not betting on it. Just got an e-mail and text pushing delivery out again. Original projected delivery, week beginning 10/14. Today's update puts the window into December - to 1 year exactly.

Yep. My chronology for the 1 or 2 interested viewers: Way back when my 12/7/21 MME order was scheduled in July (32 weeks after ordering), Ford's predicted build week was 9/19 and delivery ETA was 10/30-11/5. On 8/18 the build week was moved up to 9/12. The window sticker was issued 9/2, batch 8071. My MME order was built on 9/13 and Ford.com said the delivery ETA was 10/9-10/15. It was shipped 9/15 arriving in Kansas City vicinity just 10 days later. On 10/13 Ford.com showed delivery ETA was changed to 11/4-11/10 without other notice or explanation. No tracing update since 9/27, such that the car seems to still be in Missouri with delivery ETA just 6-12 days away. I may not have become so miffed as I am now if Ford had not given that 10/9-10/15 delivery ETA, then, waited to the middle of it to say it's 26 days more of waiting. If delivered 11/4-11/10 it will have been eleven months between order and delivery.

My MMe order premium AWD ER red destined for California
edit 10/31: I haven't heard from dealer. Ford.com extended delivery ETA window is 3 days away. Chat says last update is Ramp 6R still. Day 328 of waiting, day 36 of "shipped status".
My timeline is almost the same as yours. Ordered the Premium AWD ER red on 12/3/21. Scheduled to be delivered to dealer in Denver Oct 15-21. The car has been sitting in Kansas City forever! Got an email this evening from Ford, pushing out the delivery date to Dec 1-7. Not sure what to.think or do at this point.

Ok cool. Do you mind sharing what you going to do with the MME? I sure would like to upgrade the sound in my MME when it comes.

The PPF and Ceramic Coating is something I'm looking into but so don't want to pay 8k for it lol

Sure, I'll post updates as I go along. This will probably be a project that I work out over the coure of the winter. I think the factory B&O sounds nice. For me though, I like much more bass and crisper highs than what I've heard in a small amount of time with the car. The frequency range of the current factory "sub" is quite nice but lacks any punch.

Right now I'm just installing a 15" sub/3000 watt amp. It's admittedly going to be overkill but it's a starting point. After I listen to it for a bit, I'll decide what's next and keeping moving through until I'm satisfied

I can't believe it, definetely not normal, as someone mention before I believe I won't be completely happy until people waiting like you gets it. Chat is useless if they can't give you more info. I am loving it so far so hopefully you will soon!
