Thread for people who haven't gotten their Mach-E's yet to be grumpy in

[Juan-Marco]

Sooo, to quote myself.....

Pre order 23 november 2019 (correct 2019)
Build date 8 december 2020 (Lets collect dust!)
Transit date 10 februari
Arrival Antwerp 30 march (Lets collect some more dust!)
Expected delivery dealer 8 may
For me to drive in it 15 may

So I am grumpy, very grumpy and start to lose faith, if I could choose again I would choose not to....

Translation of the november 2019 email...congratulations you're on the frontline....

All I can say is I hope that May 15th will happen for you.
Ordering a car sure should not be this difficult.
Once before I ordered a Genesis, with the dealer telling me all is in order and on schedule. Come delivery date, it turns out he actually never ordered it, was planning to sell me the demo they had. even though it was not the specs I wanted.
My Mach E was built a week after yours, ETA has moved many times, from Febr 15th now May 17th.
I actually cancelled this and my Polestar 2 has ETA May 3rd.
So far it seems to be on schedule, with actual communication from dealer, financing through them already approved and a lot less than Ford would offer.
I wanted the MME, waiting a very long time, and perhaps I should have waited more, but I guess I'll never know now.
Because I have never driven either of these cars or any BEV for that matter, I will not know what I might have missed out on.
I'm sure the P2 will be be great car, better or worse than the MME in some ways, I will not know.
All I do know is that the P2 is it least in the country, hoping ETA holds true, but the order process and interaction with the dealer has been a huge step up compared to Ford.

Best wishes

I guess I need to stop posting here as I cancelled my MME.
Otherwise I'd be called a troll soon.
I never intended to promote any other car, and only went for another car because it seems Ford was determined never to sell me a MME.
For all of the remaining guys waiting and grumpy, I wish you the best, hope your journey ends well and hopefully soon.

Well, it took 57 days from the Shipping notification but my Mach-E arrived at the dealership today. 1 week and 1 day after the original ETA date of 4/22 and just less than a month before the updated ETA.

Will test drive and inspect it tomorrow.

The Dealership is highly motivated to get the sale done tomorrow as it will still count towards their April Sales. I told the salesman their finance person needs to get the Ford Options right. Previously, she kept throwing back loans and RCL deals when I asked about Options.

Just out of curiosity, did any of the order tracking sites or PALSAPP ever update for you? Your case gives me hope, but everywhere that I track has been stalled for a few weeks. I know others have had similar experiences; everything stalled then all of a sudden, car shows up at the dealer.

And of course, CONGRATS! And best of luck finalizing your purchase as painlessly as possible.

Yes, PALSAPP updated back on April 9th, showing it was delivered to Birmingham, Mo. from Kansas City on April 8th. Never changed. I am assuming once it got on to the next train and dropped off. A different trucking company did the final leg to the dealer. Currently, PALSAPP is still showing that information.

As you stated, this has happened to others. Also, Ford extended the ETA a whole month and then the car is delivered not long after the original ETA. Ford being very conservative, again? Probably.

Thanks! Going to need it as I found out earlier the dealership had no idea about my state's EV rebate (which I told them about a month ago!). That might slow things up as they have to register with New York State to qualify. It's worth $2K and I won't give that up.

What does "Transit date: 40" mean in the tracker here?

 

[Sneezy]

Yep. I'm grumpy. I need to call a friend of mine so we can run 240 to my garage.

 

[121gigawatts]

Didn't know this was a thing. My friends and family know how impatient I am.

I'm grumpy. I want my Mach E.

 

[KKsNewBaby]

Well grumpy friends, I have an end in sight...my MME arrived at the dealership today! Now the several day wait for the dealer prep to be completed. I'm waiting....

Several days?!? WTF are they doing to it? Maybe some extra time for charging, but new car prep should be a matter of hours not days.

 

[OttawaGuy]

Grumpy as shit

Because my MME was built March 26 and only got shipped May 3 (as per Tracker info)

While others heading in my area got shipped 2 days after being built even if they got built end of April..


Why was mine not moving grrrrrr

 

[Carsinmyblood]

Not grumpy yet, it's only been 6 days since ordering ours (2) on-line.

More on this matter as developments unfold.

 

[HuntingPudel]

Not grumpy here (unless you count the fact that I am grumpy about CoPilot360 Active 2.0 being bundled with the glass roof on the PE). Just highly anticipatory.

 

[HuntingPudel]

Oh, yeah: Get off my lawn you pesky kids! ?

I'd also like to apply for full Grumpy Club Membership please.

Like lots of other European customers mine was built in early December 2020. It sat in the car park in Mexico for 3 months until they finally decided on 1st March 2021 to load it on to a boat.

It was offloaded in Belgium on 1st April, and there it's sat for almost 6 weeks. No idea when it's being shipped to UK, and only a rough date of June for potential delivery. I have zero faith in the June delivery date because every time I call for an update it's always todays date + another 6 weeks.
