Update on Mach-E launch progress from engineering friends in Mexico

[trutolife27]

So a Ford employee posted on Twitter that they have their build date for their ME. @trutolife27 , do you have yours?

YES and no lol. Waiting on vin so my order can get pulled.

interesting that the ford employee is not waiting for ford's own charging station

Or doesn't think it's worth the price difference.

Price difference is hard to justify.

51

I would have thunk they get a discount like they do on the car. the chargepoint seems to be $700

It's quite possible that he's getting the car earlier than most of us. It's a company car, not a personal purchase. This is why he already has a build date and VIN.

The price difference is a good reason. Some additional possibilities: maybe the connected charger won't be available by his expected delivery date, or his electric utility has an offer relating to ChargePoint, or he already had it?

excuse me but this is not the forum to add logic to a discussion

This exists, but I don't remember the website name.

OH RATS so you are saying I'm too late?

 

[Kamuelaflyer]

I have my own peer to peer charging network. I told the 3 people I know with somewhat older Bolts that if they're on the cross-island highway and too low on charge to make it back to Kona to call me and swing by.

I think maybe if I had a charger in a carport or driveway, and space to move or park my car elsewhere when needed, then I'd consider listing on PlugShare. Otherwise I don't think I'd feel comfortable about it.

Ours is in out carport and is listed on PlugShare. No one has used it though. I figure the only folks who would use it are desperate and if I was desperate I might use some else’s.

So how does it work if someone does use it? Do you get compensated?

It's good to be a Chief Engineer with a management lease... that's a "Super First Edition" customer.

Nope. Free L2 charging.
