Current State Of Ford Options?

[jgillmer]

I believe those rates are for 2022 models. I’ve seen it discussed that the 2021s are still subject to 2.25% for Premiums and 1.4% for GT

You're correct, Dave, through at least November 1. The 2.25 and 1.4 rates, of course, assume 1/0 credit rating.

I'm looking for the program numbers for the APR and ford credit incentives so I can point to it when I go to the dealer in a couple of weeks for my incoming GT. Anyone comes across it, please post it!

I’m hoping that next month there are no changes, since that’s when my GT-PE will arrive.

You and me both. Current scheduled arrival is 11/8-14 for me, which could mean 10/29 to 11/25.

I have a window about 2 weeks after your window:
"etaStartDate": "2021-11-23"
"etaEndDate": "2021-11-29"

Does anyone know how long it takes for the vehicle to get on the railcar and to a dealer? Been waiting for 2 weeks now. My vehicle should arrive in the next 1-2 weeks but it seems to be in limbo.

From what I have read on the forum, it takes approximately 2 weeks to get from the plant to KC. From KC, it depends on your rail distance from KC. For me, it’s probably 2-3 more weeks.

Do even cars destined to California still go thru Kansas City? Seems inefficient if so since they are coming from Mexico.

Yes. The only MMEs not going to KC are the ones going to Europe.

Wow amazing - wondered why all the talk is about KC - was figuring it was just a lot of mid-west people on this thread LOL.

Well that could explain what is going on with my GT order as Segfyi website says 10/31 and the Ford tracker says tomorrow to Long Beach CA. Not sure which one to believe.

My car arrived in KC 10/1. The car arrived at the local rail yard here 10/15 and was delivered to the dealership today (10/18). Probably picking it up Thursday.

On a side note, it will be about a week shy of 8 months from order to receipt.

Wow 8 months - you have had a test of patience! My order is from June and expected to get between tomorrow and end of this month.

Wait, June order? Did you reserve early and order late? If not, another reason for me and a lot of others with reservations who ordered on Day 1 for GTs who still are waiting and waiting to hate Ford’s order prioritization scheme.

Yeah, GTs got prioritized over the other trim levels. My understanding is that the reason it took so long, besides the chip delay, is because of the trim level I purchased. The premium extended range AWD was the most popular build out. Dealer actually reached out to me around 3 months in saying if I dropped the AWD I could get the car in a month or so. Stuck with the one I wanted and here I am. I looked at a number of other BEV options during the wait but never found another that appealed to me.

I will be past 7 months on my *order* on my GT-PE when it gets delivered, but only because the first day it could be ordered was April 27. Prior to that, many other people and I had reservations, so we have been waiting just a little while I guess. Ford really screwed up the prioritization process. There are people with reservations made in 2020 who haven’t gotten their cars yet.

Yeah, it totally sucks. This has to be one of the most frustrating things I’ve been through.

I was on the fence about making a reservation back when it was announced. I just couldn’t get myself to do it without being able to physically touch the car. We test drove the demo at my dealership 5 days after they got it and I ordered online after I got home.
