Here's the "vehicle is here but dealer hasn't got to it yet" photo. Hope to have a cleaned up photo tomorrow night or Saturday. I have the PPF/tint/ceramic scheduled for a week from Thursday.
Congrats and welcome! You'll love it once you get used to the little quirks, especially if you're not a previous EV driver/owner. There are tons of very knowledgeable folks on this forum that are willing to help answer questions.Hi,
I am new to this group, at least from a participation perspective. I found it well into the process, just around build time and have been following it since. I have not written as I felt everyone was so knowledgeable about the process, and was not sure what to add. I was worked with @emersonsdad who was able to assist with BSNF train tracking (thank you again) and have bought every cleaning / protection product that @minders recommended. My car arrived yesterday. I LOVE it. Mind you I was driving a 2006 Honda CRV with 265K on the clock and different colored rusted panels from years of NE salted roads, and my son skidding on an icy road into a rock. So, lets say, I was pretty easy to please. Anyway, I feel now I have something to add. My buying experience was generally great except for when the finance guys got all passive aggressive when I said I didn't want the extended warranty and mentioned I had read about some great alternative options online. Really no need to call me penny pinching. Whatever..... The car is amazing to drive. But...the surprise came when I was at home in a quiet garage and my wife was adjusting the car in the garage tostart charging for the first time and I was outside. The whirring noise coming from under the frunk when the car was in gear was very concerning. I took it back this morning saying something was wrong. They explained it was just the fan. I doubted it and asked to listen to another Mach E, and was surprised to hear the same noise. You just don't hear it in the car, especially if the B&O is going strong. But outside it is much noisier than I thought it would be. Just thought I would mention it, in case anyone else comes across the same.
Once again, thank you everyone for the amazing crowd sourced information, and great stories.
@Bigfeets, I so am barracking for you. I hope to hear some good news from you soon.
Who knows, I may have something else to add soon
It's good to know MMEs are getting to California after all.Hi,

Which chemical guys product do you recommend for the interior- especially the dash?Congrats and welcome! You'll love it once you get used to the little quirks, especially if you're not a previous EV driver/owner.

I'm sure some people will say my recommendations for cleaning supplies isn't the best if they have a different favorite brand, but they've been great on our Tesla and now the MME. Chemical Guys makes some great stuff. I found out the other day that Ollie's Bargain Outlet has started selling Chemical Guys products for way cheaper than anywhere else I've found them. Ollie's webpage Not sure if anyone else has a location nearby, but it's worth checking out. We found bottles that normally cost $16+ for $6 and the gallon jug of the quick detailer I recommended for $25 that is normally $45. They also had some of the microfiber towels. You just have to kind of go on a treasure hunt.
Check out this reply:
We picked one up at Ollie's, but haven't tried it yet since I had some of the Trinova sitting around. It's the InnerClean Interior Quick Detailer. Product link I didn't realize it was the baby powder scent when we grabbed it. Haha. Oops!

I also have an Ice Blue coming in a few days. Congrats on your car - got a pic to share?Hi @Bigfeets
Just looking back through the email trail. So I see I made it through to Ramp 6M on Oct 24, I thought I was Ramp 6R before that in KS.

Once I made it to an assigned BSNF railcar it all happened relatively quickly. Although there was 10 there was 10 days sitting in a San Diego railyard
As a general comment, I got the Iced Blue color. I changed it 3 times on the 9 month wait for production. But so happy with it, and given it is discontinued in MY23 maybe it will become a collectors item
Very Nice! I'm heading over to the dealer in a couple hours to do the same.Pics! Went by the dealer to start working on paperwork for probable pickup later today. While there, I snapped off a few pictures - clearly it's not quite ready for take home but will be soon!
She'll be coming home soon!
Delivery taken! Sales experience was fairly smooth. No post cleanup pictures yet since it was dark already when I got to the dealership to finalize everything. But it's home tucked safely into it's garage spot.Pics! Went by the dealer to start working on paperwork for probable pickup later today.

Same here. What a blast to drive! First time driving was drive home from dealer tonight. Dealer experience was pretty good. X plan and 3.9 percent financing. I did have to remind him of the $500 deposit. Just got home an hour ago. So much to learn but so much fun.
She's a beauty! This is my 2nd go around with a Mach E GT but I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to drive. Love the 1 pedal mode - I originally thought I would hate it but after trying it a while it's my preferred mode. Love the wireless Android Auto, love the smooth, quite ride, loving the Rapid Red (first one was Cyber Orange). So cool!Same here. What a blast to drive!
