Waiting room

[Jubaea1]

Our BL was finally built and is awaiting shipment. YIPPEEE! Now to get it to North Carolina...just a couple thousand miles away. I do have some questions for those in the know.
1) We ordered Oct. 28, 2021. Was there a $1000 incentive back then? Never heard of it til I read this thread.
2) Why is nitrogen used in tires.......is it needed?
3) Is there a post where it lists all of the "extra" stuff dealers try to sell you at pickup time?

Many thanks!

I don’t see a bubble, maybe because I’m on an iPad?

Same. The button Ive used before under the support and service option hasn’t been there recently when Ive checked. I think it would pop up with a delay next to their blue phone number box.

It's possible. There is a chat function on the fordpass app. I haven't used it yet though.

I gave it a shot earlier today, looking for any potential scheduling update. The guy just me the number to marketing. Usually they have no problem pulling up the order. It seemed more like he was avail to help navigate features of the app.

The 1k incentive was in place in October 2021. That’s when mine was ordered.

Nitrogen is more stable and the tire pressure does not increase as much as with 100% air as it heats up. 100% air includes 78% nitrogen so you see there is only about a 22% difference. Most tire centers including Costco use it and don’t charge extra. We are not driving these like NASCAR, don’t let them kid you that this is needed.

I’m not aware of a list, but some dealers will try and sell you anything and everything. Granger was great, no selling of anything unless you wanted it.

Thanks for this information! Hopefully, we will get that incentive. I take it that nitrogen adds $ to the total. Maybe we will tell our dealer in advance that we don’t want the nitrogen. Thanks!

Just got my “Built” email and an estimated delivery of 8/6-8/12. Shit is getting real.

Just got mine too. Maybe we are on the same car out of Mexico.

My car departed for West Ashtabula, OH with no ETA beyond that. I wonder if it is still going to Wayne, MI for drop off? Ashtabula, OH is much closer to me. Weird.

On the order tracker app what does it say in the shipping section? It should be the name of the ramp where it gets off the train.

RA4G, which is Wayne, MI. I am unsure why it is going to north east, OH first, but that's ok.

So I got my shipped email from Ford this morning and the Oder Tracker says “in transit” but no shipping info. Does anyone know how long the Track Order will take to update and tell me my shipping info?

 

[WLK]

I guess this is a good sign!

It won't tell you shipping info.

That is weird. Ford unloads in Avon Lake and Lordstown.

Well go get it! We want to see it!

This sucks! I had a medical procedure today with sedation, so I can't drive until tomorrow. I'm going stir crazy here!
