They have just removed my £3000 government grant from the order, has anybody else had this removed.
When did you place the order? There was confirmation from the concierge that any orders placed before Mar 17 would be honoured

I placed my order on the 10.12.2020, they added the grant, then this year March they removed it, they sent me an email to confirm they will be adding it back, which they did, and I just noticed now it taken off again.

I wouldn't worry about it. The dealership is aware of all dates and will draw upon the final paperwork once the car has arrived there. If we have leant 1 thing since the 18th November 2019 it's

Looks like it's not just us over here that have issues with how the orders were allocated for production. Their silence is deafening although I'll give them the benefit of doubt for 24 hours as they are only just about to wake up!

As I've said before, I think building them all in Mexico was a bad decision.

The Europe destination cars would have had been better to build in Germany and would have benefitted from better QC. That would have also allowed the Mexico factory to focus on their local market.

Great to see some firm dates for hand overs... as you know I feel your pain but all that will be forgotten soon.

Just wanted to change the subject a little if you will indulge me. The F150 Lightning. 9.6Kw V2L!!! wow... they are also taking about an intelligent charger which will automatically switch from charging to back up power of a house in the event of an outage. That's pretty big news... it's down the road but they are already talking about covering peak home demands and charging off-peak. The EV6 might run a microwave but the F150 will run a very large house for three days!

The offroad tech is really impressive too. Land Rover should be very worried. This tech will find its way in to other vehicles very soon. I've always thought why not put a battery pack between a ladder chassis, now granted LR have moved away from this but with the experience of the iPace where are they in this?

Coming back to Ford, I think we can see this tech in future models but I'm guessing probably not in the MME. It would be amazing if it could be done in software update.

It should now show as a "Ford Contribution" of the same value.

I'm thinking it will be a couple of years off when it makes it to the mach-e and they will want us to upgrade to a new car.

Really excited for everyone who's car is coming very soon! Hopefully I will get to see the Mach e out on the UK roads very soon. I feels like I am now living the frustration that most of you went through. My car has been sat at Veracruz since 1/5. I was hoping it would have been on the ship that left this week but checking the F12, this does not seem to be the case! I emailed Georgia yesterday to try and shed some light, but see said it was at the port and that is all the information she could give me. I did ask when it was due to be shipped, I was told she did not have that information ether.

Randomly, I got the on its was email this afternoon, along with a update from my dealer saying delivery has come forward by 2 week! (The desktop changed to on its way over a month ago).

Definitely annoying not knowing much more than that, but hopefully there will be another ship soon to start my cars long journey to the UK.
