we’re you finally able to pick it up???

Thanks for asking. You know as a group we are annoyed with any delay.
my dealer took 3 plus their demo before mine arrived. June 2 and about June 23rd. mine landing at dealer Sunday evening 24th. Salesman knew I had a much lower charge than average. But they didn’t start pdi until monday after lunch. So me being selfish thought they should have jumped on it monday am to make up for Ford’s delay. Thankfully having ford pass for a month allowed me to see pressure drop in the one tire 🛞. They checked it and found screw. As we all know without fordpass they would have topped it off sent me on my way and I would have been left plugging it. unfortunately tire didn’t come in until late Tuesday. They did throw it on their 80 amp charger and I picked it up at noon Wednesday, with 100% charge.

first ever, after owning 17-20 cars, that I’ve tinted windows. Unlike southern states MD a little more restrictive, though I’m a few percent past legal. It looks great.

My dealership/salesman were pretty cool. MSRP, the finance people didn’t try to sell me anything (thanks to salesman telling them I’d say no), spent about 15 minutes with doc signing and out the door. Since most of us here have done our homework I didn’t have salesman spend anytime showing me settings, etc. wireless carplay was quirky yesterday. I’m switching back to wired, since charge rate is so slow as confirmed by other postings.

surprised how quickly I’ve adopted 1 pedal driving. Hardly touched break pedal in the 250 miles I’ve put on.

had MRI about 8 hours after pickup, 40 miles from home. Finished at 10 pm and used blue cruise for most of drive home. I think pretty good for early generation implementation. Though I like GM’s steering wheel light notification..

one of personal quips would be for easier access to turn off recirculating air.

i still feel empathy for those with delivery anxiety over 45 days. Poo poo on that July guy who took 21-23 day. He probably only had 15 miles on odometer. LOL

@Ford Motor Company don‘t care about not getting Tesla adapter but go ahead and send us gift card and extra charging.

Now an after the fact observation. We were all in the same waiting club waiting for ship. now I’m the outsider, black sheep of the family, for mine going convoy, while you all are dealing with train delays.
I found, we don’t get, extra charge hours, $500 gift card, no Tesla adapter, no bed outlet adapter.

sorry you’re still having to wait.

ps. I’ve been little absent on here with my pinched nerve but @TaxmanHog glad to see you are in transit.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding this, but I just took delivery 2 days ago and mine came with the bed adapter, Tesla adapter, and the complimentary 250kWh charging(are others getting more?).... what's this I keep hearing about a $500 gift card?

The gift card I have heard about was only given up until the end of June. It was to compensate folks who didn't get their charge station pros early or were delayed from getting them. They are now shipping out and delivering roughly 2 weeks after purchase - so folks aren't getting gift cards any more. At least that is how I understand it.

3 to go, all with the same ETA. Tick Tock - is it going to be disappointment Thursday (8/4) or something else for once, for everyone?

Since Tuesday mine has been chilling 50 miles away from the dealer waiting for convoy pickup (presumably).

Nice that you got adapters. not too much on Amazon, still would have been nice to have gotten. Good for those who did.

Yea this will be the first delivery I've seen that didn't get this if it doesn't turn up somewhere. That or one of your lunch-break "shippers" who liked to move it between 3-4 lots all summer long, stole it lol.

I wonder tho. Does it auto deny after so many days ??? Or does someone need to deny it ???

Someone needs to actually cancel it, mine was pending for 32 days until the rail car hand denied it today
