Just curious ... what are th elast 5 digits of your VIN?
Yeah. You know I don't dislike Tesla. But after the MachE drama yesterday, I was not excited to go configure a 3 or Y LR. I really like the MachE and where I live in a sea of Teslas it would be nice to drive something different. I really hope Ford has all hands on deck to get these issues resolved and reliable cars in customer's garages. I'm not interested in any of the VWs, Bolt, Leaf, etc. I want a sporty EV and not many choices are affordable. So we'll see what happens. If Telsa get's the $7K tax credit as rumored and the MachE issues are not resolved then I'm really going to be forced to make a decision.I'll probably call the dealer tomorrow, but my tracking doesn't say delivered yet. I suspect they just need to update my ETA, but you may be right about some weird new stop ship or whatever they want to call it. Checking the website for the Sunnyvale dealer I see they have 8 "available," but not mine. I did see a GB FE though. I'm assuming most are awaiting their customers, but the red FE I looked at a week ago that was available is still there.
Thanks for the kind wishes, I hope you get some answers at least. Moving on to that other car brings up the issue of potential new tax credits in a few months (been thinking about that myself) and the rest of the potential problems well known on this forum.
You still would not /should not paying over MSRP even if you stick with your reservation. Why do think you will be paying over MSRP - did you check if your dealer is charging ADM over MSRP when you ordered. If they agreed to no ADM then it should be mSRP and if you are going to Xplan then it should even lower than MSRP by few hundred.
Glad they did tell you that - this is what worries me - no fault of anyone but expansion from original VIN list for any of these FSBs probably not being timely.
), I'd likely go with the VW ID.4 After all, VW (through both Audi and Porsche) have begun to figure out the whole EV thing out a bit while Ford has mostly been doing hybrids until now (I don't found the Ford Focus Electric - that was a compliance vehicle for California as far as I can tell).
Glad you are persistence - nothing to do right now than to persevere I guess to get some answers - even if you get the car you should be sure its all OK and they are not not bending to the pressure and giving you a car with issues. Atleast they should say XYZ issues, take it with that risk and we will fix them in a month etc and its your choice
It makes no sense Ford wants these cars return to the factory - if its these two , I am sure there are more in this bucket and Ford knows this is not a tenable situation. Unless the HVB is bad or serious hazard potential exists, most issues can be fixed in the US perhaps at a Ford center.
Even an HVB can be replaced at the dealer, so I don't see how even that would warrant a trip back to the factory. And the fact that there was another one at the dealer that had a serious enough issue to warrant the same order, but then wasn't serious enough that they got the okay to sell it two days later makes even less sense. There's a big piece to this puzzle that we're missing.
There were 4 Mach-es at Sunnyvale Ford on Thursday morning. 2 Grabber blue and 2 Rapid Red. No window stickers
Congratulations! February 25 was the day I hoped mine would arrive, my birthday. It is now scheduled to arrive between March 27 to March 31, but I am hoping it will dodge the issues and arrive mid March.
My car is scheduled to arrive at Towne Ford by March 3. It was in Kansas City on February 13. I checked with Towne Ford today, and this is their reply:
I had the same issue with Ford systems not updating but at least pals app did so I knew when it was in KC but Ford systems did not. It did arrive exactly 14 days from landing in KC. Your should still arrive close to the ETA even with all the weather issues.
YEs , for now... But by the end of this year, and heading into 2022, there will be tons of choices and hopefully ones with better batteries and range as well. Both Tesla and Ford must be aware of this and really need to step up their games to keep their market shares in the face of what is coming down the pike. Especially Tesla. They will no longer be the only game in town, as they pretty much have been for a few years now.
