Well, it happened! I’m scheduled to receive my I5 on 8/22. Changed to a Limited edition, but I would have received the next SEL if I had waited. That will be a total of 17 weeks from request to receipt of the car, and that is with limiting my request to one color only. We were given 2 other options to purchase cars, but I passed.Thanks for sharing the info on Hyundai dealer experience. I will jump to get on the waiting list of KIA EV6 or Hyundai Iioniq 5 ( it is I-5 that I drive every day anyway haha) , then wait to see which one comes first (Mach E, EV6 or I-5). Hope the $7500 tax credit shall not be running out for those three $7500 makes a difference.
https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...uild-weeks-9-5-through-9-26.19645/post-470714Thank you, Bigfeets, for your sharing; Smart move to order another EV - Ioniq 5 particularly. By any means, it is much better to get a newer MY (2023) vs mine (2021)! After all these dramas in my FIRST Ford vehicle purchase experience; I have to ask Ford -- How do you manage your production and logistics - do you even care of buyers at all.
If they are indeed selling you a ‘21MY, you should ask Ford to discount it by the standard depreciation schedule for automobiles: 20% for the first year.Hi, I must have been one of those selected "lucky" ones. During the 11 months waiting (waiting still going), like many, I have gone thru emotional roller-coaster: excitement, disappointments, etc.. If you were me, what to do now?
My situation on this 2021 Mache E - Select, RWD:
7/28/2021, (confirmed next day), Ordered online for a 2021 Mach E (select RWD) and put down $1500 deposit; the selected dealership is in OC, California.
10/4/2021: This was the scheduled build-week
11/30/2021 --> 12/30/21 --> 2/15/22 --> 3/31/22 --> ?? Many delays of the ETA, now NO information is given the ETA in Ford's tracking system is still 3/31/22 !!
2/15/2022: Status show "Vehicle build completed" per Ford tracking info.
2/20/2022: Worrying about the Dealer Mark-Up, I requested local dealer ( my assigned sales person) to write me an email on No mark-up. And he did write me an email, saying the purchase will use MSRP + tax, title and fees etc, no mark-up.
3/15/22 --till NOW, the vehicle has been stuck at Kansas city since then, the status was something like "Delay, factory hold, Richards-gebaur,MO. " The last rail car information the Ford Chat rep. told me was " Railcar # AOK 501864 (Kansas City Southern Railway Co ).
6/29/2022: RECALL ! By chatting with Ford rep, " the vehicle is effected by, 22S41 MAIN HV CONTACTOR WELDING. " However she gave me a new ETA.
7/20-29/2022: NEW ETA given by Ford Chat person.
My questions/concerns:
1. Anyway to track shipping info., with rail car # etc. -- Ford's chatting customer service seemed to be not getting much help to me.
2. How much difference is the 2021 MME vs 2022? It seems to be, when I get the 2021 MY MME, the 2023 is coming out : I will have a 2-yr-old "new" car. Keep it or not?
3. Dealer mark-up concerns, particular after reading the $15K Mark-up story from the link below.
https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/15000-mark-up-help.19056/page-6
4. I saw tracking thread that some of the buyers put in their orders much later than I did, they have received cars already..
Anyway... thanks for reading; please share your thought and experience.
Tustin AutoNation Ford --- I do not think they did anything, other than checking on computer and get the information to me when I ask.
While waiting for so long... and there is still chance not getting the car at MSRP ! How frustrating this is!
Wow. I’m in OC as well. Ordered a Select RWD in March, and still don’t have a production date.Wow, that is terrible. I am in OC CA and ordered 2022 Select AWD in Nov., build date was late February, was in KC in mid March, and I got delivery 4/15
