Something happened on mine today, I have gone from COMPOUND OUT to TRANSPORT whatever that means?

Mine has also changed to COMPOUND OUT from COMPOUND IN. It’s still sat in the same place though

Something happened on mine today, I have gone from COMPOUND OUT to TRANSPORT whatever that means?

I just received an email confirming mine still sitting in Flushing.
That means it has been in Flushing for at least 3 weeks.
Bearing in mind my car also sat at port in Mexico for about a month we are probably talking 2 months of my car sitting parked up and not in transit! What on earth! I have asked for some level of reasonable explanation but don't expect to get one because there can't be one. It's not my style but I am now going to car media & influencers to make them fully aware of almighty fail Ford have made of this launch. It wont make any difference to my delivery but I've had enough and gloves are off. If Ford cannot show any respect to loyal customers then I certainly wont show any in return.

Good luck, interesting to see what happens!

Second stop. Gridserve at Braintree. 200 miles covered. Used 62% averaging 4.1. Impressed. Let's see how it charges

Right then. That charging session was out of this world. Pulled up to one of the 350Kw chargers, plug in, swiped card, quick handshake (all of 10 seconds) then off we go. 33 minutes later and we were up to 82%, put in 41KW all for about £10. It says on charger that they apply the maximum authorisation fee to your card. Not sure how much. It is either £10 and my charge session was £10 or the authorisation fee is £20 and my session hasn't yet gone through. Oh yes, added bonus, met the main man.
Facilities were spotless, good selection of drinks snacks etc and a nice little picnic area. Overall, a very nice experience.

Has anyone out there got any pictures of Space White

First part of the road trip 256 miles with an average consumption of 4.1miles/kwh. Given that most was motorway/dual carriageway at 70(ish) I'm quite pleased

I'm glad we all didn't jump ship and cancel our orders! The car is amazing. See todays sun review of the audi and how motorway driving kills the range! And how the battery is smaller. An Id4 in nicer clothes but still inferior.

YIPPEE
Finally picked up today.
Love it. Everything seems OK.
Dealer had to get ford pass bods to help, as we couldn't get it to connect.
Took a drive to leigh on sea to get some fish and prawns, OPD on, gradually got used to it. Crash assist flashed up couple times, as car in front braked late to turn. Quickly moved foot to brake peddle.lol
Have to go through all different settings tomorrow. As far as the wife is concerned, I done that by getting the radio to work.lol

Enjoy

I'm hoping things will speed up a bit now because for a long while it has looked like only one boat (CELESTINE) doing the Flushing to Dagenham route but now ADELINE is joining in again, she has just left Flushing. I've had tappsdate and vehicledate changes today but this time there isn't 2 hours between them so I don't know if that still means it's moved (possibly onto ADELINE) or not!!!

Ordering a machE in UK is a joke, they don’t seem to have any information, one salesman said delivery is December then another said October, they don’t know anything about home chargers, They don’t seem to know anything about the cars, I had to do my own research, I paid my grand deposit Saturday and still waiting for a call regarding delivery before I commence with finance!! My gut feeling is that I will end up cancelling due to lack of the dealer not bothering :

First response in from @Forduk on Twitter. Yup, they blamed the semi conductor shortage. The car was built in Feb so I've asked what this has 2 do with my car sitting at 2 ports for 2 months????

No updates on mine. Something fishy going on for sure.

Do you have a link to the twitter post. I'm over this too and will jump on it.

Nowt changed then! What model do you want? Have you checked the stock on the ford site?
