Norway - Mach-E ready for production

[tormodg]

This morning I got an email from Ford Norway saying that my Mach-E is "ready for production". No dates stated but I guess this means it's possible to see a delivery around Febuary 1 2021?

I do not live in Norway ( NL ), mine's already build en delivery to dealer is planned at 27-feb-2021.

I also got mye ready to build this morning (Norway)

Ford cofirmed my FE order scheduled for delivery during the second half of February. Ski hatch etc may be ordered directly with the dealer closer to delivery.

I also got the same message for my rapid red FE, but the detailed status pages on "my Ford account" is still "under construction". I guess our friends in Netherlands + UK will receive the first batch for European customers while Norway got the second (which pushes production out a week or two for some of our American friends)

 

[ArneL]

Norwegian customers will get the local option for a ski-hatch in the back seat.
Deliveries to customers are expected to start in February (as in Netherlands)

 

[ArneL]

Maybe a handful will be delivered to high profile customers in late February, but estimated delivery time for a First Edition to Norway for "1st day reservation holder (Nov 18th 2019)" is "from 22-24 weeks" counting from Dec 11th.

Yes I also got the »from 22-24 weeks delivery» estimate. Again Ford impresses with extraordinarily poor communication.

Why would they tell me that my car is «ready for production» last week but this week we’re SIX MONTHS from delivery?

I must admit that if we’re talking about delivery in May 2021 I am this close to cancelling my order to look elsewhere. The embargo for journalists ends on Tuesday and I am not interested in reading about how great this car is for yet another half year. This is becoming ridiculous. Yes there is a pandemic and yes I understand that it impacts the production...but it’s all about communication and customer treatment.

I was in contact with my dealer yesterday because of the same message(22-24 weeks). He told me that my car is being build before christmas, and expected delivery in february. (22-24 weeks)I think it was a roughly estimate of arival from the day you confirmed your order (september).

 

[tormodg]

expected delivery in february. (22-24 weeks)I think it was a roughly estimate of arival from the day you confirmed your order (september).

That would definitely be a better timeline!!! As usual it’s hard to interpret Ford’s communication so we will just have to guess until it is confirmed.

 

[ronran]

I agree. My dealer also told me that my car had been given a chassisnumber So now i have an appointment with Ford Hamar during next week

 

[Mads]

I have an email from Ford Norway confirming estimated delivery of the FE is second half of February 2021.

 

[ArneL]

I have an email from Ford Norway confirming estimated delivery of the FE is second half of February 2021.

Neither my Ford dealer nor Ford Norway has responded to my (several) e-mails regarding delivering times before and after Dec 11. Can you copy your answer from Ford Ford Norway?

 

[tormodg]

I talked to my dealer today and he said:

- production date for my Premium AWD ER is first week of February
- estimated delivery is in May 2021

This is ridiculous. Why bother telling me that my car is "ready for production". I am so underwhelmed by Ford's communication skills...

When did you order the car? Is that a FE order ?
