Ford sends mass Mach-E delivery delay emails [Updated with Ford's response]

[ChasingCoral]

Hopefully, cars not produced yet will not be delayed. Mine still shows production week in 9 Days!

From what I've been able to determine from the pattern of reports, you may see the least delay. ?

Probably means nothing however I noticed that I’m missing info on my FordPass app Home Screen. Cannot personalize like I used to.

@trutolife27 sorry for tagging you directly. can it be that it has something to do with the OCSM?

MME's delivered or on it's way have the OCSM specified, MME's still on the plant (but already manufactured weeks ago) dont have the OCSM data filled in.

We had a fault in this with the Mach-E ride-alongs....

Same for me almost exactly. Went in to talk to my dealer last week and he looked it up to see that it was "stop shipped" along with 4 other MME in Riverside. On a hunch, I went back to the JCT Pals Portal this morning and now see two invoices. The second shows that my MME and seven others were received at "Speedway" coming from the "Muncie Ramp". My car has come hear to SoCal and made it back to Kansas? (please not Mexico too!!)
Last week, the day after I went to the dealership, the order tracker showed that my delivery ETA was move from 1/18 to 2/8. Today, the tracker wont recognize my VIN. I have not gotten a delay email from Ford.

Just looked up the VINs of all the other MMe on the truck that went to Kansas with mine. Looks like we are all going to SoCal dealerships. The latest delivery ETA is 2/18.

I got an email at 1:47 AM today from Ford informing me that my wife's MME is scheduled for delivery in late February. The car was produced on January 6th and yesterday the primary status on the tracker was changed from "In Production" to "In Transit". I hope I don't get another email from Ford stating that there has been a delay

Ford E-mail:
Freedom and exhilaration are just around the corner! We are excited to inform you that your 2021 Mustang Mach-E Premium is on its way to your dealership. Congratulations!

Our current estimate for delivery to Fremont Ford is between February 18 2021 and February 24 2021. Once it arrives, a dealership representative will contact you to arrange final delivery.

ok, I’ll play the speculation game ?

• The dividers in the koi pond didn’t make the subsections small enough so they have to put in new dividers with more subsections
• Ford read all the complaints about the seats and is going to “surprise and delight” us by slipstreaming in proper 12-way power seats (maybe even ventilated?) in place of the 8-way seats from the Fiesta ?

finally something that make sense. The koi pond not the seats cause that was just silly

I would think we should hear about what's the cause of this momentarily form some source.

Stop sale to recalculate residuals Kidding, just kidding!

Mine started being built on Wednesday and is on the line somewhere. I wonder if the fix is already in or if it has to finish and then go back around. Not any fun for anyone I am sure.

How do you know it started production on Wednesday and sill on the line?

I have a production "Week of 01/10/2021" but I haven't seen a change on to that on ford.com nor have I seen a production date in the tracker. Thanks.

 

[ChasingCoral]

There are a few customer cars that delivered before 2021. There might have been an issue with one or all of those. Maybe that's why Ours got stopped so abruptly.?

Maybe. It also may have to do with some issues spotted in the press tests. Remember the issue @TFLtommy discusses in the 45 minute "talk" video. They had weird issues with L2 charging.

It's all speculation until we get some real information. At least we should be happy Ford is being upfront about there being a delay.

I was always surprised to read these were in the Mach-E -- I think it's great technology, but it seems so obvious a solution that I assumed it was never widespread because it must entail massive legal liability if it's anything but perfect.

I've got the same build week as you. Question - when you use the Tracker Tool, what's listed under Production Date for you? Mine doesn't show anything.

Mine was supposed to be delivered to dealer this week, with latest being Monday. We were already on the fence as this is for my wife, and after receiving this notification, she started looking this morning at other vehicles. I think she will go test drive the new Bronco Sport today, and if I know her, will be driving one home tonight. Heck I could buy two for the price we were going to pay for this. I was really looking forward to it, but pretty confident will be back to looking to buy one in a few years.

Yup, we're going to start looking at ICEs, perhaps a PHEV like the X5, which still qualifies for the Fed tax credit.

The movement of cars from one step of production to another is in the "Secondary Status" seen in Vehicle Visibility. Dealers and some others in Ford have access to this.

The good news is that some cars moved up in the production process and others were finished yesterday. Remember the first reports of this delivery stop came out days ago from some of our members.

The Mach E will be out soon. No need to bail on BEVs that fast.
Ford is being very careful about their QC. That should make us all happy.
