Just spoke to my dealer for the second time since ordering about 15 months ago (not through lack of trying).
They still couldn’t give me an update on my car or the plug in car grant status (although Hannah has confirmed ford will honour it), but did confirm they have taken delivery of three customer orders which have already been collected! So some lucky people are driving around with their Mach Es.
I also find it hard to believe that any of those 3 are NOT on here or the Mustang Mach-E Facebook group. I am sure that when I pick mine up every man and his dog will know about it and I'm sure I'm not the only one

Ditto to that sentiment ?

Mine still says compound in 28.4.21...but as mine went in a day after you, maybe it will come out a day later too?
I've actually finally got something out of F12!!! Mine is compound in 28.4.21 as well! Let's hope they're keeping each other company!

More to the point, let's hope they follow @BlackheathDiggs 's car and show compound out very soon too.

I've emailed my dealer for a vista update, so we'll see if the location timings on that match up to what's coming through on the F12 data - i'll hopefully hear back tomorrow!!

The only confusion they had had was to do with the supplied keys. The two fobs that were supplied were fine, but did not have the a receptacle for the usual removable section that you use in emergencies. This was further complicated as they had supplied two bank keys that would slide into the remote even though a) there are no key slots on the vehicle b) the remotes had nowhere to insert them.

I wondered if our key sets were replaced in Antwerp with new style sets of two, and the key inserts were left in the packaging to use with the front passenger airbag switch located just inside the passenger door.

I think my dealer has ordered two replacement keys that he thinks should have been supplied that accept the key blanks in the bottom. Interestingly the newly supplied pair of fobs looked like they had less buttons on them (ie no button for Frunk release)
Congratulations on your Mustang's arrival. Your videos with the preproduction vehicle were great. Feels like that was 7 years ago now. ;)

I'm curious about these key details. Do you have any photos showing what you're describing? I'm wondering if the fob that has no place for a key is smaller than the other version?

Also curiously, I don't see any switch for enabling or disabling the passenger airbag on the North American model. So this is another one of the localization changes.

Here's mine (silver pony on other side).

I’ll get some pics tomorrow - from what I remember the new keys look smaller and have just black with no silver buttons.

As for the passenger airbag disable switch - is this not a thing in the US? I guess we have it because child seats are a legal requirement in Europe, and if the airbag was to deploy it would fire into the back of the baby carrier, hence the disable switch.

I’ll keep you all posted on the key situation tomorrow. :)

Only 3 sleeps to go !
Oh don’t - I’m going stir crazy here - at least I get another fix tomorrow. Not sure why PDI checklist takes 3 days to complete. I’d take it tomorrow if they’d let me! LOL

Some vehicles here have the key-switch for disabling the passenger airbag, but many don't. I think I've only noticed it on some trucks and SUVs?

Mach-E has automatic detection which seems a lot more common here:

The only reason that I'm picking mine up on Wednesday is because I have a delivery arriving on Tuesday and I'm the only one who can accept it. :(

I’ll be a good boy - we’ve been in this together from the beginning - I’m not going to steal anyone’s thunder at this point :) We cross the finish line together my friend.
