Funny story to share.

My neighbor was a preorder holder ahead of me. We were in a detailed discussion about the lackluster experience of the FordPass app where I made the comment that you can add a vehicle to the app (and your Ford Account) as soon as you have a VIN. He took his VIN, added to FordPass, and clicked "Activate Vehicle". He did so every morning after noticing the requests time out due to inactivity from the vehicle.

We assume what happened was somewhere between production and shipping, a porter probably clicked activate on the Sync 4 cluster, successfully adding the vehicle to his FordPass account; which ultimately gave him the privilege of tracking his Mach E from plant to dealership.

I've done the same with no luck (yet), but I wanted to share for those who are awaiting production and/or shipment. Give it a try and see what happens for you.

Great, so now I'm going to spend all day on the Fordpass app hoping someone sitting in my car accepts my activation request...........

Yup. A year ago, some people were able to watch their cars drive around the factory in Mexico. But tracking was lost when the cars were put in transport mode for their train ride.
