Estimated delivery date pushed back to 5 months later for my built mach e

[JoelOclock]

There hasn't been any indication of chip shortages impacting Mach Es so far.

We're open to any and all other explanations! People going to speculate when there's no official word given.
I don't know how else to explain multiple delays to builds with it taking 2 months for mine and >3months for delivery

Built date 04/22, arrived to Kansas City 05/12. Sent an email to dealer - they just responded, the car just arrived to Richmond, CA - which is like 30 miles from my location and according to the dealer, should be in their dealership any day now.

“We have purposely protected our launches -- Bronco, Bronco Sport, Mach-E, F-150,” Farley said. “If we can switch a module over to one of those launch vehicles, we have. We’re very protective of the launches because they are so important for our business.”

Haven't received any email but my delivery just got pushed from this week to July 21st. Although, to be honest, WTF does that date even mean anymore? It's the 6th time they've pushed it. So yeah, that date will mark OVER A YEAR since I converted a reservation into an order - if it even shows up. Absolute joke. I don't fault them for chip shortages (if that is it) I fault them for the shockingly bad communication. It's atrocious. If I could've got an Kia EV6 order this morning that might have been the end of it.

FYI, Kia's EV6 FE reservation launch was a clusterF#@k. I was finally able to reserve one for the other half around 16:30 (CST). We want the option of purchasing one once more details are known. If interested in the EV6, try the website again.

thankyou! Was a total cluster. Snagged one. Which color you go for? Not the best options but Jan delivery is probably better than Mach E at this point haha!

The day has arrived! Tomorrow I pick up Scarlet!

My build date was April 22...ship date April 28... Received email from Ford yesterday saying I could check out now. I looked over the website and checked Options financing. I am going to close the deal tomorrow at the dealership because the California clean fuel rebate was missing and I wanted to see the car and check it out. Xplan pricing was on the website! So if all goes well Scarlet will be in my garage by tomorrow night!

Checked with my State Farm agent and lined up my insurance. It was cheaper than original quote when I ordered the car in Dec 2020
$524 semiannually.

So far so good!

I have to use a grain of salt here. That sounds too much like CEO speak to me. If he could protect the launches 100%, then how do you explain the snafus and delays around Mach-e launch? Jim Farley should explain the delays with Mach-e. Someone should tweet him.

It could be that they are giving priority to the new products, but sometimes things go out of their control and Ford can't completely shut off sales of its main bread earners like the F-series and the big SUVs.

Lucky you, I was happy to help. The Steel Gray Matte is the most appealing to us, at this point.

Just as I post this, the Ford website finally updated. I got an email saying the car is built with a estimated delivery of 7/17-7/23. Why it took my car 3 weeks to be built I have no clue.

As I recall, the Ford website doesn’t shift your car to produced until it’s actually slated for shipping. By that system I had a 1 month build time.

Check one of the trackers here for an actual completion date or check on the most recent electronic version of the window sticker. Or ask your dealer for the vehicle visibility report. My bet is your car was waiting to catch a train and not slow poking its way through the factory.

My Build Date was Week of 5/31 (was showing 1/31/2021 for the last 3 weeks because of that glitch) I got the email today saying it was built and est arrival July 11th-17th to Baltimore. I guess ill see if that holds true.

He said Ford would protect launches. He didn't say they would be perfect. This makes real sense -- all eyes are on the launches.
