Interesting. I'll recheck mine today as it had it's PDI yesterday. Thanks for that. Makes you wonder just WHAT they did in Antwerp

what goes on in Antwerp, stays in Antwerp... including the charger cable! ;-)

Mine left Antwerp QA on 16th April. The dates that followed were:

22/04/2021: Compound In: ANT CUST
07/05/2021: Compound In: Antwerp
11/05/2021: Compound Out: Antwerp
12/05/2021: Compound In: NEW FLUSH
14/05/2021: Compound In: DAGTOPS
21/05/2021: VAFD: DEALER DELIVERY
26/05/2021: Customer collection

His arrived in Dagenham after mine and mine arrived on the 19th

I think it must have been that his dealer informed him on the 19th but it does look like it turned up earlier.

I think you're the only "special" one Grahame! And well deserved too!

https://www.carkeys.co.uk/news/ford-enhances-keyless-car-theft-protection Looks like they updated the fiesta keys to include the 40sec standby feature.

Also full list of ugly Ford keys, My 2000 era mondeo had #8

My first major road trip is a week away in the North Pennines (gonna get my eyes tested at Barnard Castle ?)

Looking at ZapMap the charging infrastructure is gonna be interesting. Lots of 7kW ones dotted about but a distinct lack of anything of 50kW and over. May have to bounce out towards Darlington / Scotch Corner every few days ?

Its worse then an embarrassment, its horrendous but nothing we can do, I guess we got to live with it and hide the keys at all times. lol

>>>SNIP<<< .... unless there was a "check-box" I missed on the order for requesting the Rapid Red RWD ER with silent IC ?

Anyway, a positive note to end this post on is that my dealer confirmed this morning that my car is now actually in Dagenham ?

... they can hear it buzz from there??!!

You can blame my fat fingers - I checked - my DAGTOPS was actually 19th or 20th (hard to tell for sure due to the lag on F12 and the speed it moved to destination) Apologies - have corrected original post

Sounds like my car has completed it PDI and is now in the valet station getting spruced up ready for tomorrow. Just checked my etis dates and they haven't changed. I think questions about WHAT has actually happened in Antwerp need to be top of my handover list but I very much doubt if I will get and answer.

Will you live stream it?!!!

Yep - that's at your dealership

Well close! Was delivered to Trustford, Weston-Super-mare when it should have been delivered to Cribbs Causeway, Bristol.

I have some news, I just got an update call from Hartwell Fords where Im picking my Mach E from hopefully W/E 24.07.2021, I asked her about the key Fob, and she confirmed that we will be getting a Mustang Fob not a horrible black nasty one, she told me their Demo car is coming in this weekend and she will send me an image but from what she knows it will be the correct one, and if its not she will take this up with Ford, because it does not look right to her as well. Lets see what happens and will keep you posted on this.

That's great news!

As I said before my dealer had also pushed back on the keys supplied and has contacted Ford to get replacements issued that are more Mustang like. It may be something that we all need to check pre-delivery.

Yes, we all need to make a fuss now when we do a pre delivery check, if they can give them to the US and Europe then why cant we have them.

That's interesting as I have just had confirmation that my key fobs are the same as my Kuga and my wife's Fiesta just like @Wonky_Donkey posted.
