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

[mfbrown]

Yeah, I try not to let it bother me but damnit, it just starts to feel like a complete slap in the face. If I knew I could just waltz in around mid-may, plunk down an order and already have a car, I would have just done that.

Edit: And to make things worse, he's like 35 minutes from me, so its not like its a shorter distance to deliver it

We have all read about the dealer having the ability to set some priority code on orders. I'm beginning to think that some dealers (maybe without any prompting from anyone) raise the priority of their orders while others just leave them at the default set when we place an on line order.

That is the only explanation, besides some production runs of GT or standard battery which may account for specific models coming in sooner or later. But when the exact model you ordered is delivered to someone who ordered later; well, that can only be priority as far as I can tell.

That latest thread with the 6’3 dude. He ordered after, got his before and he also is about 1 hour from me. That’s 3 today just like that

Long time lurker on these forums but first day of posts. it seems you are getting your MME very soon, but following your story and cited examples I am already aggravated on your behalf. If it is of even the smallest bit of comfort, I have a tendency to be a lightning rod of things going wrong - so I am sure over the next year or so my experience will be the showcase no-one wants. I hope you get your GTPE soon and driving it makes you grin.

Yours has got to be almost there, Dave. Rooting for you. Then we can use your bat on you! ??

Well welcome and I appreciate your future sacrifices

Well, I just got an email back from my dealer. A little less to be grumpy about. He said that the last couple of shipments of MMEs did not have the front plate brackets installed by the factory and he'd note on my order not to install it in the PDI. ??

Oh, he also said that MMEs have been taking 2-3 weeks from KC to his dealership, so Dave might be using his bat on me. Hoping Dave gets his first. Otherwise, I'll be grumpy. ??

I feel the same. At least his order wasn’t like a couple of the June orders that have already been delivered. Those really got me grumpy. ??

As a June order myself, perhaps I can offer some small consolation. My GT has been stalled 30 miles away for a week now, in need only of a jump start. The dealer says they can't get it, Ford has to send a guy to start it, and Ford has so far shown no inclination to do so.

ETA unknown.

So much for free roadside assistance...

Pretty sure I saw that my dealer had me at the highest priority and I have been skipped as well.

Or assistance.

Wow!! Can't believe they were able to do that for you. You need to give a shout out for your dealership, especially if no ADM.

Priority "1" just means it is a retail order. Only other options are "19" which is a stock order and "99" which is for people who want to keep their retail order but want to wait until the next model year comes available.

So, finally there’s modules and an ETA delivery date.

I can hope it’s put on a train soon!!

So, while happy to see progress I’m about to be grumpy again with the next phase.
