Now there are some petrol shortages I might drive by some petrol stations, slow down, wind down the window and shout "petrol w&nk3rs" at them for a laugh.

My Mach E didn't make it on the last boat...the response I received from the Mach E team is:

'I am very sorry but at the moment your vehicle delivery cannot be pinpointed as your vehicle has not yet shipped yet.

I am looking into this for you and in the next few weeks I should have a more detailed update when your vehicle is on a ship.'

With Fuel panic buying and my mileage about to increase to 500miles a week. I'm really disappointed I am not in my MME yet.

How many of you who, like me, have a great big cheesy grin and smug faces at the moment. There is a petrol station near where I work and all roads are chockablock with cars queueing for liquid fuel. Horns blaring, red faces and lots of swearing. My car is sat outside trickle charging on the granny lead. ??

I'm not grinning about it but we deserve to not feel bad about it!

We took a leap of faith, waited 6+ months for our cars, spent/invested £20k more than an equivalent petrol car so put in a lot of commitment.

I'm 50/50 at the minute. I'm great and happy, but I still have to fill up SWMBO's Volvo XC40 ICE.

And…. Apple Watch App is Back !

That is awesome news - and I'm sorry I missed that bit. Apologies @SashaLondon

I was without my iPhone for 48hrs while I was waiting for my new one to arrive today. It's made me realise quite how much I rely on it

All dealers, I know mine has, should have received this notice by now so I suggest you get in touch with them for further information.

After following up the news from Canada early this week, we will soon announce recall actions on certain Mustang Mach-E vehicles that may have an inadequately adhered front windscreen or panoramic roof glass panel.

We have received no reports of glass separating from vehicles and customers are able to continue to drive their vehicles until the recall service is available.

Please note we are working with authorities on the next steps for these recall actions and have informed our dealers. We will proactively contact customers soon with plans for any required updates to their vehicle.

With the inclusion of the word 'certain' in the first paragraph I would assume that it is NOT ALL cars but those in a specific build range. We will just have to wait and see. At least they haven't put a "stop drive" order in place so I assume that Ford are happy (ish) that it isn't a major issue.

So what are people's opinion for those whose cars are still in transit to the UK - yet to go via Antwerp - is this something that will be resolved at Antwerp? Was the previous recall addressed in Antwerp for those vehicles in transit?

On the downside. The BP fast chargers which I earlier drove by are blocked in by petrol heads queing for petrol. Bit of an inconvenience if you are unable to charge at home.

I don't think we ever truly worked out what was actually done to our cars in Antwerp.

HV Battery cell testing was most likely the biggest check as that was where some cars got held up for a while before customers were told that there were issues.

It was supposed to be a 50 point quality check, and for those that were there when the eCall issue was identified they were updated too.

It would be a logical place to do screen re-fits, but you would hope that the newer stuff coming fresh from the assembly line in Mexico would not have the issue as it had been identified and hopefully rectified on the line.

Newer stuff fresh from the assembly line? According to whereismymme.com my car was built on 1st July driven onto the MSC Cristiana 18 August and is still on there due in Anterp later this month!

Hanah advised "Once the vehicle arrives at the Inspection Centre in Antwerp, it will proceed through four checkpoints in a series of quality control checks. The estimated overall time this takes is between 5-10 weeks." maybe the 10 weeks is anticipating this recall?

When I say “fresh off the line” - I totally acknowledge that there’s a mahooooosive wait for it to get here afterwards. I feels like forever I know.

Mine sat in the car park in Mexico for the best part of 3 months before it even made it onto a ship - you’d have thought all that time in the sun would have given the windscreen and roof adhesive plenty of time to properly cure LOL

In regards to the 5-10 weeks in Antwerp - many cars took that long even before the latest news - but we’ll collectively cross our fingers for everyone still waiting for a vehicle to arrive and hope it’s the lower end of that estimate.

UK folks, anyone done anything to smoothen the ride? Any hacks?

Check the suspension shipping blocks chocs have not been left on. The ride is quite stiff for cornering stability which is the penalty to pay for a heavy SUV like car.

When I first got mine it was very 'bouncy', but a month later and it's noticeably improved as everything beds in.
