@ChasingCoral I dropped this in a Google Sheet. Users can print or make a copy if they need it and we can add to it as we go. Let me know and I can give you edit access.
Thanks. I've been meaning to get aroundtoit but there's been a shortage of those of late.

Here's a starting point on a checklist that I've been using on mine:

Mach E Checklist

External
  • Validate VIN
  • Check every seam and door for alignment
  • Open and close every door, trunk, frunk several times.
  • ...

Other
  • Check owner publications and keyless entry codes
  • Run through my financing spreadsheet, verifying each item

Where is the financing spreadsheet you mention? Tried to search your posts for it. Thanks for the list, picking mine up tomorrow

This is YOUR checklist. The dealer has one as well.
So then according to this dealer checklist you attached, any outstanding software updates that maybe weren't applied to my car will be applied before I take it home?

They SHOULD be. Whether they will be is another question.You need to ask if they were updated.

Here's one that got me when we bought our 2018 Explorer:

1. Check all of the lights/lenses for condensation.

Brought the vehicle home and noticed a couple days later that the side mirror turn signal was fogged. Yep, it had been cracked in transport.

Make sure the VIN you were given in advance matches the car and all sales documents.

I had a very weird issue when I picked up my Mach-E yesterday. I finished everything, inspected many of the items on this list as best I could and everything seemed cool. I had not done a test drive because it was terrible weather. Anyway, on my way out of the dealership, I heard a LOUD popping sound as I turned the wheel. I quickly turned into a parking spot and checked under the front wheels and saw a huge rubber spacer (?) that was in the springs/suspension. I assume Ford puts these in the springs for some protection reason during shipping??

Anyway, So the dealership put it up on a lift and successfully removed the rubber spacer. No issues once removed so just FYI for everyone, check that the dealership removed this item assuming Ford puts these on all Mach-E's for delivery.
