Delivery dates

[rplinpa]

When I viewed the Mach-E on tour today I asked the Ford rep how long the vehicle takes to actually arrive. I told him my build date (December 16) and he told me it takes 36 days from that day for the vehicle to arrive at the dealership. A second Ford rep confirmed that. This was news to me.

Also, I was curious about seeing the navigator, and in particular how they identify charging spots along a route, so I gave a voice command to take me to my home which was 1 1/2 hours away from the tour location. The navigator said they could not find the address. The Ford rep then told me that car was having trouble with navigation commands. I found this curious as if it is cloud based, I would think all cars would be getting the same information. Perhaps they are still working on navigation in their cloud.

Happier than ever I have one of the FE's on order. I think I will love this car.

My local dealer told me today they are expecting my Jan.4th build to arrive in Sacramento 4-6 weeks after it leaves the factory.
Hoping this is not true but is in line with what you were told.

Uggh, I was really hoping that my 6 Dec build week would put that car in my garage by 31 December (tax credit purposes). I guess it wasn't meant to be.

I'm not trying to instill any false hope here, but in another post on the updates, @trutolife27 said that in a Ford meeting they are trying to expedite as many customer deliveries as they can before 1/1. I think Ford is very aware of the tax credit issue. Now, what the cutoff date would be from manufacture to delivery was not mentioned. Someone else posted that their car being produced this week would be arriving in December.

I'm hoping we'll find out more next week. OKTB being Monday (as far as we know), we should start seeing some movement and maybe give us a better idea of delivery timelines.

That being said - I don't think most of what may start shipping next week is customer cars, I'd imagine it's mostly dealer FCTP units that will go out, and they may not be as "expedited" as customer units.

Either way, I'm hoping it'll be an influx of new information the coming 2 weeks.

Yes, FCTP were always scheduled to go out next week. What needs expediting are customer units. Let's hope Ford has something great up their sleeves.

Just got a call from my Anchorage Alaska dealer today. My production date was 11/13/20 and expected delivery told to me by the dealer was today 12/14/20.
The phone call anyways is that it didn’t make it on the boat to Alaska, and Ford doesn’t have a delivery date for it apparently the car disappeared.
So, be careful apparently they are disappearing during delivery! ?(Probably Elon up to something.)
However I’m really bummed and hope to take delivery this month.

Thats new at least for me to hear a car disappeared. I am thinking its around somewhere in Fords control and probably got mixed up with other shipments?

Do you have your window sticker? What does it say in the ramp one box. Anything in ramp two? What shipping method is listed?

 

[SnBGC]

Ramp one
RA1C
Ramp two
Blank
Shipping
Rail
Vin

Thanks.
Was expecting to maybe see something in the ramp two box since you said it gets on a boat at some point. Maybe RA1C designates a port terminal? I will try and find that code on some other stickers...

If the data is valid on the Fordtracker site then your car is in Mexico with the other pre OKTB cars still...

It doesn't matter what your dealer said - customer ordered Mach E's haven't left Mexico yet. There's a huge thread about "OKTB", which is Fordspeak for when the cars can be "sold", as in shipped from the factory. In alaska you're probably looking at mid to late january at best.

It’s not a customer order it’s a dealer order

Which only matters in that it makes sense it was already built but it's still sitting in Cuautitlan awaiting the shipping plan.

Same thing. The only cars that have shipped from Mexico are preproduction cars that they can't sell to anyone. The dealer demos and cars built for customers (regardless of a dealer ordered it or the customer themselves ordered it) are waiting for the final OK to get shipped from the plant. There are literally thousands down there waiting to get on a train, truck, or boat. Shyipping wasd supposed to start weeks ago but due to some snafus it hasn't started yet

To be fair, shipping was never expected until about 2 weeks ago.

wait, Alaska doesn't count as a state any more than Hawaii does. We don't know about international deliveries yet.
