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

[TheSteelRider]

Went to my dealer today. i was told mine was built week of 12/21. He said it was in the body shop now at the factory. So is it being detailed before shipping or did it get a ding while on the line?

I have the exact same build week as you, and according to all the vehicle tracking sites, mine has not yet been built. I'm assuming / guessing the line was a week behind before the Christmas break.

Same as above -- build week assigned as 12/20.
Sticker became available on 12/16 and showed "In Production" shortly after that.

As of Jan 7, still no change to status as still "In Production". Hoping it gets finished soon, but this suggests to me they were trending behind plan even before the Xmas-NYE week shutdown.

Every step in the process seems longer than the prior one. The waiting is the hardest part.

this is where a short communication from ford would go a long way

waiting for something is always hard. No matter what it is.
The closer to the date, the harder it is.

In 6 years of BEV driving I've never done this but CERTAINLY considered it. I can normally read a room pretty well and in Texas...well things could go sideways pretty quickly.

Isn't there an expression used when non-electric cars block chargers? Perhaps we could come with with an analogous expression for electric cars blocking gas pumps?

I think once we have our cars, we should get a whole gang of Mach-e's, go to a gas station and block all their pumps. because we can.

Instead of ICE'd you've been BEV'd

I just donated my 2006 Prius to make room for the Mach-E. My other car is a 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid (I *really* like that car and plan to drive it until the wheels fall off.) This will be my first new car in 11 years.

And my 2004 Prius will go to a good home I hope.

Haha - perhaps thats what these cars are doing that as well
