So its using the F12 method on the Ford website.

There are quite a few posts about it with some step by step instructions.

Basically login to the Ford website and then press F12 to bring up the developer tools section

The section on the right in yellow if you select that text and copy it all out you get something like this

{"result":{"vin":"WF0TR1R7XXXXXXX","order":{"type":"order","number":"106XXXXX","contractSource":"Web","gobStatusCode":"VPRT","gobStatusDesc":"AtPort","vmacs2CharCode":"92","vmacs3CharCode":"721","vmacsStatusDesc":"COMPOUND OUT ","vmacsStatusDate":"2021-04-26 14:45:00.0","gobStatusDate":"2021-05-03 08:49:18.0"}},"error":null}

It will be interesting to see the time frame from when this changes to 'compound out', to when you or your dealer actually gets the car.

I just spoke to my dealer and he confirmed my delivery date has pushed back 2 weeks to the 5th Jun ? He did say that the car is in customs so could be sooner but I’m not going to hold my breath!!

At least it's on-route in some fashion. There is hope.

Welcome to the 5th June club

 

[Pomini]

It seems that all those who came over on the Immacolata are in the june 5th club. The Americans have clubs with the various colours - we could have a build dec 9th 2020 and msc imacolata club!

 

[Coolcatshaft]

Better than the June 12th club

 

[Tony.T]

And far better than my September 11th ?

I'm still being told 5th of June. Mine however was on Grande Florida (albeit Ford told me something else). Mine has another leg to do to get to Belfast. I therefore will probably have to return my 5th of June Club Membership Card!

My MME SR RWD was on Grande Florida and is in Antwerp now. Dealer has just advised ETA is 19th June (previously early June).

Are you Lisburn or Ards? Last I heard I was end of May but I expect that is also now June, have a test drive on Thursday, hope to get more details then.

@Wonky_Donkey have you been into the dealership yet?
Sorry in advance long message. I hope you have better experience than me arrived today to an appointment I was requested to attend to progress my pre-reservation. Dealer had no clue and apologised for coming across as incompetent as he started by saying I know nothing about this car it's new. Continued 'my manager has printed these specs but I have not read them yet shall we read them together.' I got him to copy them for me and he tried to tell me I had to order by tomorrow and I said no that's wrong pre-reservations to order are by the 17th May. Went to manager and turned out I knew more then both of them??‍ They think they may get a demo by September, wanted £2000 deposit, think the car may arrive in October, did not know if car was affected by conductor shortage. Then went on to tell me nightmares they had with e-niro delays. Really selling the car lads! Bottom line they had limited info from Kia, had no idea about options, spec, delivery dates etc. This all began to sound too familiar to me!
On top of that tried to get a test drive vwid4. Salesman was not interested when I could not do one in line with his days. Would not take my details and told me to call back and speak to someone else! You want my business you should be calling me to arrange??‍. I have everything crossed my second mach e test drive goes well tomorrow as it seems Ford are not alone in poor communication ?And damn do I want this mustang ?Just hurry the hell up!

Hiya

I spent a bit of time over the course of 3 phone calls today with local Kia dealership. I'll send you a direct message with the details as I don't want to hijack this thread - plus I've caused enough trouble today already!

Sorry to hear you had a rubbish time with your Kia guys though.

Newtownards Road. I asked them to check vista while I was at my test drive. Came back telling me all they can see is compound out at Veracruz. Really confused how some dealers can seem to get updated info from vista when mine can't. very strange indeed.

Thanks. This is useful. Disappointing but useful. Puts to bed the theory of trying to stock up as many UK bound cars as possible together before final leg. Thanks

Not me. I was on the Immacolata and have been given the date of June 19th. I had a build date of Dec 12th 2020.

Guess I’ll be in a club of one!?

 

[Dudd]

Excellent- thanks. Haven't heard of or from Matthew Harmer. Can you let me know his e-mail address (PM me if you prefer.) Are you test driving one next week?

PM sent. I’m test driving on the 11th at 1pm. I can’t wait to see one in real life!!

I think we're all emotional at this point. It's definitely getting worse nearer to the end of the process though. Mind you, I was struggling to be patient about 5 minutes after placing my order last year! The process and lack of comms keeps making me look at all the other electric cars and nothing still comes close to the Mach E. The EV6 is very pretty, but only if you don't walk around the back, and deliveries starting after Oct 2021 mean I'm not going through this again only for Kia, which I'm nowhere near as excited about, to then slip week by week as the deadline draws near anyway. I'd be sulking every time I saw or read about a Mach E, knowing I could have been driving one from June (ish....maybe May, maybe July, who knows?!?) Anyway, I'm in this until my Mach E gets delivered

I think I prefer the Ioniq 5 over the EV6, except it makes no sense that it doesn't perform quite as well as the EV6..... I wonder if that will change when they get into production.
