Have just been on the configurator on the Ford website and I see the First Edition is back on it. I don’t remember it being there recently. Although it comes up with no vehicles available in any of the 3 colours ?

Yes I saw that too...

there's a part of me that want to put up with my daughter's Corsa for a while and wait for the Hyundai ioniq 5. It would probably arrive first.

That first edition is listed as "priority build" so maybe we picked the wrong cars when we ordered ER RWD !

perhaps I'll order one of those too and get a Royal Straight Flush

Don't you get me started Steve ???

I've had quite a bit of movement over the last few days on my December build RWD ER via the VIN tracker tool. End date of 28-2-21 appeared earlier this week, then it switched from 'Awaiting shipment' to 'In Transit' this morning, and just now a 24-2-21 ship date appeared.

Total guess work now, but interesting correlation with the timing of that next ship departure scheduled for 28 Feb @Wonky_Donkey @portlandg

I did a little summary of First Editions on order on the spreadsheet.

Amazingly, the later you placed your pre-order, the sooner you will receive your car.

All of the 1st day Pre-orders are awaiting build - insane

one of our French friends appears to have a 24th April delivery date.

I agree with all the comments above - without Wonky the Vin hero and Grahame, I can't imagine where we'd be.... probably ranting at the concierge, dealership and a shrink all day long!

i can vouch for that. I live in NL and my dealer has confirmed that they receive mine and a few others in the week of 24-April.

Hi everyone - Graham here. My First Edition changed from In Order Processing to In Production a couple of weeks ago on the tracker. I haven't checked anywhere else. Is the spreadsheet above from a different source? I haven't updated the status on the Wonky spreadsheet. I'd be very grateful if anyone can get any more reliable info. Cheers everyone - stay well. We wouldn't want any of us dying of Covid before we take delivery but there's probably more chance of dying of old age!

I heard from my dealership today,
production release 02/02
in Veracruz since 02/10
unknown shipping date
delivery scheduled for 05/08
for an FE it is inadmissible, 12 weeks to cross the Atlantic when it takes only three. Ford this crazy about us and I'm polite.

Does this not fall in line with the majority of December builds and what our dealers have said are due for UK delivery in May now. This would be about right with the French and Holland dealer quotes and time to get to UK. I am going to just go with 22nd May which my dealer has said to me. Then anything earlier if by some miracle then big bonus. ?

exactly!! I ordered same day orders were released and I don't even have a VIN to add... well, one I've cancelled but that was on 22 weeks.

Any ideas why they haven’t prioritised the orders made at earlier dates?

 

[SteveUk]

Yes, they value USA customers but see us as not as important and view us as a cash cow captive customer base.

no idea. I’ve been fobbed off loads of times with rubbish answers about building in batches.
