I am itching to do a test drive - my car just now being built. If anybody knows of any dealers with Mach E's to test drive please let us know. My dealer is El Cajon Ford which does not have one yet.

Hi Terry, I contacted my dealer (Encinitas Ford) but no luck as they were expected to have test vehicles arriving in the past week.

Ford had been prioritizing customer cars over FCTP cars. But a few have shipped and a much larger batch should be on the way soon, if not already headed out. Some of those could also be caught up in the additional quality checks as they were the first production cars built.

Encinitas Ford FCTP vehicles are late Feb or March (as of this evening) I think . Most of their customer orders to be delivered by mid Feb to early March.

you are right - quite a few of the FCTPs are early under 4K VIN numbers and are at the speedway

Was able to do a quick one at Escondido Ford on a very dirty car that had just arrived.

I did a test drive at South Bay Ford in Hawthorne. They had several MMEs...not sure if one was a designated test drive vehicle.

Fiesta Ford in Indio had one that I was able to test drive, right before the GT model was made available for ordering. Not sure if it is still on the lot or not.
