My Mustang Purchase

[generaltso]

Option is just grayed out.

The start code is considered a backup to PaaK, so it won't let you set a start code until PaaK is setup.

Received my build week email. April 12th. ?

Will you be able to get your deposit back from the original dealer?

My guess is I have until June to ? think on it. Thing is I really like the car and it is a great replacement for the 06 Mustang. I like it better than the wife's Explorer also and I would bet she will also once she gets some windshield time in. Question is do we like it enough to have twins? If so I will be a little less than thrilled I did not get one Grey and one Red..

My original dealer said I'll be refunded my deposit when they sell the one that was ordered for me.

PaaK update. Programmed the wifes phone Paak, this allowed us to setup a backup start code. Does her phone work PaaK, no, but at least we were able to program a backup start code.

Wife hinted that maybe we should go all electric with our vehicles, hmm....

Car specific Gripes-One Fob, that cargo mat flaps with the windows open.

My charger adventures are now at an end. I had bought the Ford Connect charge station and installed it before the "Stop Sell Order" only to have it die on me 36 hours after installation.

Replaced it with a GrizzlE and a 50amp 14-50 socket. The Grizzl-E works really well. Noth thrilled with the ascetic of the outlet and Grizz over the Ford solution but I can live with it.

Brought my Ford charger to the dealership parts counter and they took it back no questions asked, very nice folks over at Gary Yeoman. However, then went about attempting to order floor mats and a cargo liner but my FordPass account was acting wonky and not allowing access to my reward points. (now seems to be in order again) I will have to revisit next week to attempt ordering with my 22000 points.

Charged the car to 100% for the first time last night, it is showing nearly full range available, very nice.

In the 80s today,. Put on over 50 miles starting at 100% charge. Liking the math.

Let me understand this. I think you just helped me figure out how to get the car I want at the price I want to pay. If I find the car I want. Premium RWD in Iconic SIlver/ Grey interior I can call Mullinex and see if they can get it for me??They will then honor X plan pricing.
DId you have to pay extra delivery since it was not in WPB. I test drove the car and would have purchased Friday if the dealer would have taken X plan, and not a 7K ADM!!

If you order a car thru them Mullinax will honor Xplan. Mine is scheduled to be built in April and I selected them as a dealer via Ford website.

I did find my exact build in Mississippi and called my Mullinax dealer and asked them if they could get it for me. They called but the non Mullinax dealer would not release it (ADM loss) so no go. I then found another exact build in SC and called that dealer direct, they sold me the car Xplan and delivered it . I got lucky.

I still have my December order being built thru Mullinax, I just tend to be impatient.

I suspect after a month or so they will drop the ADM, while it's popular it's not as popular as the Bronco. The MME community is small and usually buyers will be very savoy as you are basically buying a laptop on wheels. When the hype dies down which it will and if more issue surface which they might it will slow sales down. Another factor is that the traditional buyer will not be used to paying MSRP for a car let alone one with ADM. Most buyers today of EV's are going to comb the Internet for information. These buyers will come across our wonderful site here and will find dealers who take the x-plan, no ADM and want to sell, not hold cars on the lot.

Ford is not like Tesla for EV's, who have a strong following as well as a loyal community, Ford does not yet have this for EV's. Tesla sales are simple, Ford is complicated due to the middleman which in this case is the problem.

Honestly this was said early on here and no surprise the dealer is getting in the way for Ford's success for the EV market.

FORD - This note is to you -

Get your dealer network inline, MSRP should be final, maybe call it something else, allow for the XYZ plans to reward those who participate. ADM should be banned for the MME, you want success here, make it easy as possible.

Rant over folks, sorry.

Picked up my floor mats and cargo liner yesterday from the local dealer. They gave me $110 for my Ford points so that is nice. Scheduled to get my front windows tinted to match the rears today.

Non car related is my Grizzl-E charger keeps going into red failure mode. Not during use but as it sits idle during the day, I will get home and it will be buzzing away. A quick unplug reset works to get back to blue.

Reading the documentation is says the max operating temp is 130f (or was it 103?) My choice of black case and the Florida sun between noon and 4pm cooks it and sends it into fault mode. To test my theory I have wrapped it in an old white hand towel and we shall see if it faults out this afternoon (overcast days it does not fault out).

Just checked, my build week moved from 4/12 to 4/4. Sweet. Need to get another Xplan pin.

I recently purchased and installed a Grizzl-E charging unit myself after watching the CEO of the company run over the unit with a truck and dip it into the freezing waters of a frozen lake. The crazy Canadians (and I say that with all respect) may have forgot to test it in the other extreem weather condition - the Florida sun. My unit is in the garage. No issues to date. Did the towel wrapping solve your problem?

Yes. Not a problem since, it has been flawless.

My plan is to sand it a bit and rattle can it white.
