Shocked at the price increase. Only hope that the dealers doesn't try it on when it arrives.

Hello everyone, I signed up today to remark on the price increase. I ordered 2 weeks ago and have been looking at the stock pages every day to see if the 32 week lead time is decreasing, and noticed that basically everything had gone up by at least £5k this morning and it looks like the Tech pack is £5k too. So glad I got my order in when I did. It's a company car, but all I could get on the scheme was base model SR RWD, gone for dark matter grey. Can't wait to get it!!

It’s worth the wait! Best car I’ve owned / driven by far.

You’ll love it when it arrives.

I’ve seen a RWD ER on Autotrader selling for over £56k with 11,000 miles on it.

Even if I could sell it for that I wouldn’t. ??

I wont mention that the first delivery batch got the £3500 goverment subsidy after it was finished.

Thanks! I did everything with the lease company I could to try and get the tech pack in, but it pushed it over my company allowance no matter what they tried, so I'll have to accept that I adjust my seat manually (the only thing I really wanted). Shame I've missed out on the govt grants, but as a company car my monthly benefit in kind tax goes from £360 to £28!!

Was not expecting this update, must have miss compound in and know showing as in transit. Car was on Grande Torino which docked 29th, or am I reading this wrong and its not on it's way to Flushing.

Sorry to be the crusher of dreams but your car will go COMPOUND IN and COMPOUND OUT about 5 times while it’s still in Antwerp. These are for Quality Control / Customs / all sorts. Each one will trigger an IN and OUT message. Also bear in mind there are several hundred cars to be processed through all those stages.

You need to get the location code that goes with the status code, but only the dealers can see that (call them to see)

Remember this process takes weeks not days - so sorry to be a party pooper - just trying to manage your expectations ?

Thanks Tone, understand that, it was the 'in transit' status that threw me.

I think you will find that it was only £3000. Got mine in May and that's what I got

To be fair yours seems to have been 'processed' a little quicker than mine as i'm still showing the same compound out that it had when it arrived at Antwerp last week - hoping the faffing doesn't take too long and all of our vehicles can be on the next leg of their journey sooner rather than later...

Just back from a week in sunny Cornwall, Mach-e's like hens teeth down there, didn't see another all the way down, all the time I was down there and all the way back! The charging curve increase is brilliant, I was getting 27KW at 95%. Exeter Services have 15 Gridserve chargers, stopped at Amesbury Services on the 303, 4 Instavolt all empty. The chargers are sparse in Cornwall but there are a couple of Shell garages and with the Shell Go+ App, this discounted price is 35p KWH but only for 3 months from signing up. I'm up to 21500 miles now, still love the car (and it still smells new!!) but it does pick up stone chips on that big front, more so than any other car I've had....

Hope you enjoyed your week in Cornwall. The weather was fantastic!

Had my Mach-E since Seotember and I've never seen another down here. Only seen one other and that was in Devon!

Is anyone In the London area willing to do my updates via FDRS? I am able to pay for the service. If not I probably have to try and get the bits to do it myself.

Look at this before you go to the expense of getting FDRS and all the bits that go with it

Note that one of the questions/answers states that 1.7.1, 2.1.0 and 2.3.0 will be deployed in April, but cunningly they don't provide a year. Later in the same paragraph they go on to say that the will ramp up software updates over then next 12-18 months.

I very much doubt even Ford would be stupid enough to leave it until April 2023. I have 2.3.0 so it can't be far away. Just don't know why I am one of the few that have had it.
