Was just checking f12 over lunch and mine changed while i was on, not sure what it means.

Went compound out to compound in while i was checking it! but the dates are a few days old.


{"result":{"vin":"","order":{"type":"order","number":"","contractSource":"Web","gobStatusCode":"PROD","gobStatusDesc":"Produced","vmacs2CharCode":"92","vmacs3CharCode":"721","vmacsStatusDesc":"COMPOUND OUT ","vmacsStatusDate":"2021-05-11 10:03:00.0","gobStatusDate":"2021-01-06 07:22:44.0"}},"error":null}

{"result":{"vin":"","order":{"type":"order","number":"","contractSource":"Web","gobStatusCode":"PROD","gobStatusDesc":"Produced","vmacs2CharCode":"91","vmacs3CharCode":"711","vmacsStatusDesc":"COMPOUND IN ","vmacsStatusDate":"2021-05-12 15:25:00.0","gobStatusDate":"2021-01-06 07:22:44.0"}},"error":null}

Same change for me. The F12 always lags by a couple of days.

It correlates with "compound out - Antwerp" 11/05 when the barges left

And then "compound in - Flushing" next day when they were probably registered as arrived.

Next will be more interesting as should change when it leaves for Dagenham which they probably already have but we will know in a couple of days when it catches up.

I posted this in the Mach E FB group as well. If you want to see pictures head over there

My Appointment was scheduled for 9AM. I do the school run on Fridays so this was perfect. I got to Gates Stevenage at about 8.40. Met my sales contact in person for the first time. He promptly took me to the car. He said there were two cars available, one of them was an AWD Standard Range. That alone was a sign from the Gods, that's exactly what I had ordered and I didnt expect would be available. My original order in January 2020 was a RWD, Extended range. When I saw the wheels on the AWD at the preview event in February 2020, I cancelled my order and switched to the AWD, SR. The 19" wheels with the Red Brake Calipers were calling my name. I didn't realise at the time I placed the order i'd be losing the sunroof and B&O sound system but even if I had I would have still made the same choice. My biggest hangup was if the sound system was going to be any good, I don't give 2 hoots for the sunroof ( we live in England, what Sun?) and with the issues some of our American friends are experiencing I think I dodged a bullet. I also never use heated seats, my previous car, Mercedes, GLC Coupe had it and my wifes current car has it. I don't care for it.
So my dealer gave me the keys and said see you in an hour. He asked if I wanted to try Single Pedal driving, I said sure why not.He enabled it and showed me how to get to the menu option if I wanted to switch it off. It was awkward for the first 5 minutes but I quickly got the hang of it. Since this was Stevenage, which I know well I knew exactly where to go. As soon as I got out of the Car Park, I used Siri via Wireless Apple Car Play to call my Brother in Law and told him to get ready as I'd be picking him up in 10 minutes. Got to his place and we went on the A1M Motorway, went past 3 junctions and oh boy the speed was simply incredible. I also didn't notice the bumpy ride that some have mentioned even when I was still in the town center driving at 30 or below. The car was dead silent. I had Spotify playing one of my saved Playlists and quite frankly the sound system was superior to the one in my GLC Coupe and as good as the one in my Brother in Law's BMW X6. He was next to me and said the same thing. I had the car for about an hour and 10 minutes, dropped my BIL at home then went back to the dealership. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car. The wait has been ridiculous, the communication woeful but I am glad I hung in there and didn't go and get a soulless Tesla. Happy to answer any questions.

Glad you enjoyed the test drive. That was the same car that I went had in Glasgow so it’s getting about it!?

I loved it as well but it’s made the wait even harder.

I’m getting the same model but in red. Can’t wait!

mine just got to New Flush apparently. Thanks for this list @SteveUk

where are you seeing that?

For all the Grande Florida folks (arrived 22nd April) I checked with concierge today on progress and they said my MME is "currently in stage two of the quality control checks in Antwerp". I've been told that should finish by late May/early June, with delivery to dealer late June/early July.

My last dealer update a few weeks ago still said late May for delivery, but I'd already given up hope on that. Mentions of July are not great of course, and it's particularly annoying for me as my car was a 2nd December build, but it didn't make the earlier ships for some reason, so I won't be in the first group of deliveries despite my pre-order on 18th Nov 2019 and a very early build date. Hopefully it won't slip any further!

We were on the GF, and have been told today

"
Mach-E is within stage two of the quality checks in Antwerp and is estimated to complete all checks by the end of the month.



I am also able to advise that your vehicle does have an estimated dealer delivery date of mid to late-June"

So slightly different time frame...

Nearly at post #7500.

Mine was GF also. Got the same timeframes as @BlackheathDiggs . Given I've an extra stretch of water (and border) to cross I'm guessing July rather than June sadly. As always planning for the worst hoping for the best!

Allow for 5 weeks from when it leaves Antwerp to when it arrives at your dealer.

 

[BazzaFFC]

I know its all guesswork but as we are hopefully seeing cars leaving Antwerp for the UK do we think that vehicles currently on the way over to Antwerp will be held there for a shorter amount of time?

It seems that all the current ones have had new 12v batteries fitted and many different software updates etc, so my thinking is the cars built after a certain date won't need these doing as they were done in the factory before shipping?

I might be wrong but just hoping they won't be held as long, maybe wishful thinking!

Good luck with everyone getting your cars, hopefully very soon!

 

[Spensaf]

Quick question. Have any of you guys with cars in or arriving shortly in the UK checked the FordEtis system to see if any updates were made?

It would be interesting to see the dates of the last checked column to get an idea of when other cars may be en route.

I would imagine that that is entirely possible. The later the vehicle, potentially the less that would need to be done. I still think they will do some checks but possibly not the 50 that they did on mine and others.

Yes and no. My car is, allegedly, in Dagenham and I checked the pti info on etis this morning and it still says 08.12.20 which was my build date. My suggestion is that if yours has changed, fine, if it hasn't it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'm working on the theory that they wouldn't have shipped it if it hadn't been worked on.

Thanks Steve, is this based on what your dealer has said? It seems an awful long time considering it can get to Dagenham in 2 days from Antwerp potentially.

Originally they had said 5 to 10 weeks to get to dealer from ARRIVAL in Antwerp.

I'd imagined it would be two or three weeks max to organise logistics etc to arrive to dealers from Dagenham?

 

[MachDG]

I met my Dealer today and he said it can take longer to get out of Dagenham than it takes to get from Mexico to Dagenham ?

Having said that, he checked Vista and eta has come forward to the 29th May!! ?

Post no. 7500 (do I win a prize?)

How do you know new batteries were fitted?

I believe at least some of the delay at antwerp was b/s and more about timing cars arrival with a launch.
