UPDATE ON FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2022
Last Monday was my dealer pickup date until damage was discovered. The dealer set an expectation then that Friday or “Saturday at the latest” would be when the MME would be fixed, painted and ready at the dealership. My dealer rep just contacted the outsourced body shop and connected with me saying that “it looks like it will be ready Monday…Tuesday at the latest.”
Oh geez. My belief I’ll ever have this MME delivered is pretty damn low. By the time it gets into my hands, my give-a-shit-meter is going to be close to zero. All-in-all ordering this car (and the lack of communication by Ford all the way along) has made this adventure an experience I’ll never recommend or repeat myself.

Sigh @Ford Motor Company ...
After seven months and one week, my MME came in yesterday to my dealer (Santa Margarita Ford here in California). My appointment to pick it up was today at 3pm but now the dealer will need the MME until Friday for body shop repair. I'm booked Friday so will have to pick it up on Saturday.
What the actual F**K! To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.
The damage is on the nose is to the right and left of the pony. Here is the worst one:
My Dad was an insurance adjuster for over 30 years and, though he's been gone since 2013, his advise all my life on new cars would have been, "Don't accept it. Even painted it will never look right."
I'm going to demand that @Ford Motor Company replace the nose with the pony vs. living with it being painted. Anything else I should do?
