It look exactly like a title, except at the top is the Ford logo. My signing it works in the same way, transferring ownership from Ford to me.

As for the number of cars, every vehicle's VIN contains the number of that model of car that has been built.

For instance, my Mach-E was the 61,102 built, since those are the last digits of my VIN. The earlier characters identity the model year, so they can track exactly how many the've sold.

BTW, while I was at the dealer, I learned that my Mach-E was in the shop, as the 12V arrived today (yay!). They were also installing my Sto n Sho for the front plate, meaning tomorrow we are ON for delivery day! :cool:
Congratulations! Although the wait was long, it will have been worth it.

Congrats Bob! Question, our cars were built on the same day, 10/15ā€¦.. yourā€™s is 61,102, mine is 56,293, a spread of 4,809 carsā€¦ā€¦. Do you think that is possible? Maybe 10/15 represents that particular weekā€¦ā€¦..

Thatā€™s a good question; it may have to do with the trim of the car?

It certainly seems to be trim level related. My GT PE coming, hopefully, next week is 04017. So only 4,000 GT PEs have been made so far. Probably closer to 4,500 now?

As it turns out my grumpiness has been extended by 24 hours. My sales rep called to tell me it will be ready tomorrow.

Since the registration is done, plates are on, new 12V has been installed, Iā€™m guessing itā€™s either a matter of them getting someone to finish prep, or they still have to finish installing HeliCoils in the rear seat belt anchors to free it from ā€˜recall hell.ā€™?

They better deliver you the car tomorrow, or else!!!

Donā€™t forget that the serial number is 6 digits. In the case of the MME the first digit is alpha, the remaining 5 are numeric. ?ā€ā™‚?

Thankfully, the ā€˜Red Sea partedā€™ for tomorrow: a midday hourlong work meeting via Zoom just got canceled! Should be mine by noon :)

Do you think those numbers as cars built only refer to 2021> My 2022 VIN has the last 5 digits but first digit is a zero (0)

Hello Grumps,

Iā€™m thinking of joining your clan. According to my dealer, my 5/29 ordered ā€˜21 MME Premium AWD ExR seems to be abandoned in transit. Shipped on 12/5, it has yet to move out of KC after arriving on 12/15. He says the vehicle is in ā€œrepair modeā€, likely due to a dead 12V battery. In his words, United Road will not touch the car if the battery is dead due to the cars ingeniously designed 12V battery compartment. So apparently its just going to live in KC now until someone from Ford decides to drop a new battery in it.

Iā€™m taking all this with a massive grain of salt, as Iā€™ve seen plenty of others posting about their MMEs arriving at the dealership with dead batteries. I have a feeling this is just a narrative he made up to blame Ford corporate, while subtly suggesting I just reorder. My delivery date was 1/14-1/20 before receiving the ā€œArrival Date of your Vehicle has been Updatedā€ email, and is now 2/14-2/20. Not hopeful this will hold.

I look forward to grumbling with you all!

J

That makes sense, as they havenā€™t yet built enough to populate that digit.
