Right?!? When I first read middle of October I was pissed....but then I realized it was already Late September.
I know, right? I can practically smell the plastic outgassing now!

126 units were built last week. Most of them are Ford Reps cars and a few demo models.

Also North America according to the marketing manager for the Mach-E, nobody will get a VIN for a retail Mach-E until mid-October.

2 orange Gt models went down the assembly line last week, getting shipped to europe for advertising.
Only mildly disappointed. I had been hoping I would get a VIN on my birthday (Sept. 30th). But a couple more weeks isn't too bad.

you might want to see a doctor. soon.
Well, it was actually gas station Mexican - I got it when I filled up my ICE. Actually, I think it was a burrito. Now I'm not really sure...

If I already had my MME I would have had a sandwich at home instead.

See, BEV's really can save the environment!

As long as it wasn't gas station shrimp and wings. Can't do that until you actually take delivery of the car.

No no no no no no no, never ever do gas station shrimp and wings. Maybe Wings if you are desperate, but not the shrimp, ever. You will have to buy those shrimp somewhere safer or you will be hanging your head out the window puking all over the side of your new MME. There are limits after all.

Why would you be having gas station shrimp in your Mach-E anyway?

Everyone knows you pick it up at a reputable place and put it in the frunk. Then you can have the shrimp (or wings) whenever you want! (Ok you could stop at a gas station to replace the ice that melted but thats about it.)

what if you want shrimp and wings in the front cargo area? Are there 3rd party shrimp/wing dividers? This might be a deal killer for me.

PS what is the ice melt/Kilowatt hour in the MME?

You could use dry ice in the frunk to keep things cold. When people question the fog coming from under the hood just tell that is cooling system for the nuclear reactor.
Or the Flux Capacitor.

Which of course powers the flux capacitor

edit:
@Badger_Prof beat me by that much
