Acceptable # Kms at delivery ?

[msayoungzsublime]

Hey everyone just picked up my brand new Mach E the dealership had called yesterday saying it had arrived(and they were super pumped because its their first one) but then said it wouldn't be ready till today. Then they postponed the pickup to a later time today. When I got in the battery was at 63 % and it has 213 kms on it. Is that normal ? Its my first new car but that seems like a lot of kms? Just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. Its a Premium so with an msrp of $73 k I kind of expected it to at least be charged fully as well they do have a charging station at the dealership.

yeah, this was one of my worries when i was picking up mine--joy riding miles.
mine had 9 miles on odometer--below what i would have complained about.

also, my dealer said that they are supposed to charge to 100% before giving it to the customer--something that Ford mandates supposedly. So it sounds like they did abuse your car.

It should have been fully charged, and little to no mileage. Someone used it for a few test drives...

Sorry to hear that, pal.
Found a pic of a 2021 in a dealer lot that has only 15KM on the odometer. The dealer is even in an island that requires going by ferry.
That's one of the instructions I'd specified when I ordered my last two cars. Others were no dealer decals, don't wash the car and don't put on any dealer-install accessories, like the front bumper lip. Can't really trust the dealership...
