How to track any Ford dealer's Mach-E inventory

[highland58]

Same here. Shows 3 for my dealer, none of which is mine. There are some interesting things of note: 1) They have a FE that was built in Nov that still hasn't shipped, 2) Their FE does appear on the shipping companies list in a 'Pending' status, 3) My FE which is built is still unknown to the shipping company.

Is that Evergreen Ford in Issaquah?

Well looks my dealers stock is still waiting.

I think I will bookmark the tracker page and check it daily, may give me some good shipping time information.

So this is interesting. When I use the inventory search tool from this thread, only one car appears for my dealer. When I research that VIN, it was built on 10/31 but doesn't have a ship date or customer name, so I assume this is their FCTP car.

However, when I search the new car inventory directly on the dealer's website, 3 customer cars show up, including mine! I assume this is a way to advertise the Mach-E on their website, but I am not sure how I feel about it.

Also, when I search various VINs on the tracker, some cars have pictures show up and some don't, using the same browser (Microsoft Edge). Any ideas here?

That's exactly why they're there. If a potential customer were to call about your car, they'd be told the vehicle was already sold (it's a very popular model etc etc) but they could order one to their exact specifications, yadda yadda ...

Yes. You too?

Yes. You too?

No, my dealer is Korum, but I had noticed that Evergreen had the First Edition and I was wondering how they ordered that. It looks like it could be a Mach Drop order from the date, but I thought that dealers were not able to order a Mach Drop.

The week before the Mach Drop, some dealers were allowed to order a stock vehicle in addition to their demo unit. That additional car could be a First Edition.

Dealer VIN: 3FMTK3SS8MMA01967

How do I know if my dealer has possession of the vehicle?

Just like any other car listed. Call before you go.

Found a Select "stock" Mach-E going to a dealer near-ish me that according to FordTracker was shipped on 12-1-20? I didn't think there were any shipping that early in the month.

Anyone having issues with the tracker site? I load my VIN and it keeps saying 'Can't Retrieve This VIN (As of 0826 EST)'. Normally my info pops right up. I'll keep checking.

It always says that for my VIN initially then I give it 10-20 seconds sitting there and eventually the info loads up.

Thanks...I tried it on another browser and it worked. Still hasn't shipped yet...hopefully this week.

With our VIN numbers being listed on Dealer websites, what is to keep people from using the Ford Pass app to control our vehicles once we get them? It is easy to add a vehicle to your account with the VIN number.

Hopefully no one is sitting in the vehicle to compete their authorization request.

In order to actually unlock the "control" features you'll have to confirm it all physically inside the car via the car's infotainment screen. I would also hope FordPass requires location permissions along with GPS data from the car to know the phone/car are physically near each other.

The few posts here of folks gaining access remotely of their built Mach-E's still in MX were definitely flukes and probably because an employee clicked accept inside the Mach-E.

I think you have to be in the vehicle to finish the setup / link process between the app and the car.
