Mach Drop Build Updates

[agoldman]

I was able to finally get a 1/4 build date and VIN number today for my Mach Drop FE, by calling Ford's marketing number. So now at least I'm in line. I suspect this would indicate a late March east coast arrival at the dealer, assuming no glitches in the works.


in case anyone asks : 800-334-4375 = needs dealer order # and dealer name/location

Late March is longer than I would expect, although no way to really know. I'm guessing about a week from the "build date" to finish it, a week or two sitting at the plant queuing up for transport, another 1-2 weeks of distance transit, then a few more days for local transport to the dealer. Roughly a month from build date (early-mid Feb).

That's my rough expectation, anyway. Assuming build week doesn't get pushed back further, which seems like it's probably 50-50 at this point.

The time from start to finish one that just finished on this forum looks like it was 11 days from actual start but they said some took 7. The last time I ordered a new hybrid Lincoln model out of Mexico it took at least a month of sitting and then shipping, but I think the EPA was the hold up in that new model case. Anyway, the early deliveries will be our guide.

Yeah, the time sitting at the plant waiting for transit is probably the biggest wildcard. And that's probably just luck of the draw relative to the timing of the next major transport sheduled for that region (with available space). That could be next day for one person, but 2 weeks later for another, depending on where the car is going.

I was wondering if any of the other Mack Drop people show an order in their Ford.com account? I just have the Premium they cancelled.

Same here. Dealer sent me a screenshot from an email he got, includes a VIN, but my Ford.com acct only shows my originally ordered Premium.

Anyone in this forum expecting to use X-Plan? I know other threads discuss Ford plans but I didn't find one specifically targeted to FE trim, so I am posting here...

Since the beginning of the week seems like that FE are no longer listed in the X-Plan site. The difference between Premium and FE considering the x-Plan:

	Premium AWD/ER	FE	Difference
Original x-Plan pricing	56,975	58,389	1,414
After October Price reduction	54,035	57,409	3,374
Now FE w/o x-Plan	54,035	58,300	4,265

Does anyone have any other information on the X-Plan for FE?

That would be disappointing. I know FE is really just an add-on option in the order and not it’s own “model”. Who are our x plan experts? #chasingcoral ?

Not in Canada, my dealer told me...

This would be the cherry on the top of the giant FU that was Machdrop, if they've yanked the FE from X-Plan.

It BETTER BE just a quirk.

I printed the pricing and incentives detail for my FE, and the Net X-Plan Price is $54,909

MSRP: $58,300
Xplan price: $57,409
Total incentive: $2,500

Net Xplan Price: $54,909

I have not included an additional discount of $1,000 that my company offers for EV purchase. I also didn’t include the $2,000 point of sale Credit for NYS.

Hope this helps.

I've got mine in print too. Not that it would probably matter come purchase time if it's no longer eligible at that point.

I've gotta think that it's just a quirk and it'll get fixed soon. But as much as they've screwed many of us over with Machdrop, this just seems like it would fit right in.

 

[dbsb3233]

I emailed the EV Team to let them know FE isn't showing up on the X-Plan page anymore. Hopefully they'll have someone will look at it and fix it (rather than getting a response saying "Oh, we just decided to exclude FE from X-Plan").

Fingers crossed. I've been scared to ask. LOL

Got a response this morning from the EV Team. I'd say it's 95% reassuring that X-Plan is still good on First Editions, despite the website absence. I noted my Machdrop FE VIN# in the email, which is the "referenced below" vehicle they allude to. So they must have looked it up specifically.

"You should be fine. The First Edition referenced below will come to the dealer with an X plan price printed on the invoice, so no issues."​

I'm confused. Did the X-Plan pricing have to be requested on the initial order? I just assumed that it could be applied to the cost of the car when I picked it up (when I show my X-Plan documentation).
