I never said that the Ford Transit Connect 2021 are designated for Europe, just told that i saw only "Ford Trans Connect 2021" on the Grande Florida ;)

They go to "Valencia" according to the sheet.

Apparently Ford assembles the Connect Transit van (US & EU version) in Spain (Almussafes in Valencia) and sells the US version on the American market. It may be its Transit parts on the ship going to be assembled . Seems strange if the vehicles are going the other way...

Regular Transits are still made in Turkey for the European and Asian markets.

Anyway, the main thing is we now know that there are more than Transits on that ship. ?

Not time to watch yet as at work but that Grabber Blue has really grown on me ?
He has a better time charging with the App rather than plug and charge. Has issues with co pilot 360 in poor weather not seeing other vehicles on adaptive cruise. Charging sessions good but still issues with charging curve.

I am furious. The exact same car as I have ordered is now on the system and will be here earlier than my car but if I was to want it, it would cost £3000 more as it is a new order and I wouldn't get the picg money off. What a ridiculous system that someone can walk in off the street and get their car before I get mine.

The The status from “Antwerp” only changes when it leaves Antwerp, to Flushing (Belgium) and then finally arriving into Dagenham.
So much for my assumption that our cars will be going Antwerp - Southampton. That's just added a week to the delivery to UK rather than a day. Ford are determined for us not to get these cars

Does that explain this bit " From Antwerp it then takes an estimated 6 days to ship to the UK. " ?

What's happening in Belgium? a check on the panoramic roof issue in a facility that specialises in glass roofs?

But they would pay £3000 more irrespective of whether they buy a car that comes in in May, June or July...
correct, but your government £3k allowance can not be transferred to a different car as the application was done using a different VIN number.

It probably hasn't even been done though...

I've now thrown the towel in with Octopus Agile and changed to Octopus Go!

All savings when low rates were available were cancelled out by extremely high unit rates during 4pm to 7pm and sometimes outside those hours. The final straw was seeing tomorrow's rates of 35p per kw hour for most of the day not just that peak section.

A great concept but where they bump up the kwh rate between 4 and 7pm ensures you can't make it worth the hassle unless you have very flexible needs.
