Has anyone gotten confirmation their Machdrop FE is in the order book yet?

[ajmartineau]

WOW!
My dealer returned the VMs and Emails I've been sending. They are in contact with a Regional Manager and she is "Making it right." He asked me the color... yeah, still Red.
I know they are busy with other customers and that the world does NOT in fact revolve around me. So I appreciate his effort in the call. It was a nice call but I still have no tangible proof that I'm getting the car. More waiting and refreshing.

I did it, pulled the plug on the Mach Drop FE. The scheduling mystery, along with the fact I really love the IB with space grey interior from all the roadshow photos shared on the forum, made my mind up. Saving almost $3K clinched it. Now that I did, I'm sure the floodgates will open for everyone else. ?

Well, I think my dealer really wants to sell the Premium on my reservation, because they called the factory rep this afternoon to get me a build date on the FE to settle down my impatience about getting behind the wheel of my MME. They called me about an hour ago to let me know so I could reconsider and guaranteed I will have a confirmation and VIN within a week. I figure I can make it that much longer and will keep the FE. I'm done waffling. ?

I can't wait to get off this rollercoaster. ?

UPDATE:
"Thank you so much for your patience while we dug into this!
We apologize for any confusion caused, as our records didn’t indicate having received a Bill of Sale and that is why you were not listed on our original list.
We have confirmed that your order has been honored and successfully entered into the dealer order system.
Please excuse the delay in our response, and do not hesitate to reach out with any further questions."

I'm thinking the dealer should know this and call me without delay.

Yep. And a lot of us (Machdroppers) got build dates overnight. I'd contact your dealer and ask him to look again. (The dealer probably won't even know until he actively goes in to search.)

Yup - unless the dealer checks the system they may not know assignment of date. or until their daily batch system reports run. My dealer still has not responded but it wont matter much now as my Premium is now scheduled for Feb.

Spoke too soon -

Received email from dealer with VIN and date of 1/4 for Mach Drop FE. Also have VIN for Premium scheduled for 2/8.

I got an email as well. January 4th build date with a VIN. Not happy about the post 2020 delivery.

 

[ajmartineau]

I do not have a build date it's just "in the system."

Progress I suppose - hope you get a date too soon

Wahoo, I have an actual printed PO with priority 19 from Ford HQ. ( I can't remember if that is good or not)

No build date yet, but it just got real!

Cool.
From what I can tell.....that means you have a Retail order with the lowest priority for that allocation batch for that dealership. Probably doesn't matter much since it's very likely every Mach E in that allocation batch was scheduled to go to the line in the same week.

I really think the "priority code" is irrelevant for MMEs this year. I think it applies more to normal inventory orders.

Sounds like you have a printout of the WBDO order. Ford logo upper left. "Preview Order xxxx - K3S Premium AWD", etc. If so, that's good as it confirms it's actually in the order bank.

That is normal or standard priority code for Mach Es. If your dealer is driven, he may know of higher priority codes to use that work for the dealership. For Mach Drops I have seen priority 10 as well which is the highest the dealer can request I believe.

Priority code 19 is the default for a WBDO order. The dealer can push that up to priority 10. It appears that many Mach Drops were pushed to priority code 2 by Ford, mine was. I would not be surprised to see AJ's order pushed to priority 2 and get scheduled for week of Jan 4th, with the rest of the Mach drops. We are both in the Seattle region and the Ford regional office pushed mine to priority 2 according to my dealer.
