Today, at 1:00 PM EDT, my sales rep called me and informed me that somebody at Ford (didn't say what part) called the Regional Sales Manager who in turn called the dealer Sales Manager who told my sales rep that my vehicle "will be built sometime in September and as soon as we have a Serialized Date or a VIN I'll let you know". I sensed that he may have just come from "the wood shed" (perhaps along with his DSM) because he didn't sound too happy.
 
My response: Thank you for calling. Please don't call me back unless it's to report the full VIN number of my vehicle. Our conversation ended at that point.

Got my car yesterday!!! by michaelweho

Hi There,
 
I received my car yesterday - it was an item that was coming in for stock - White Suede - looks awesome. I had placed a deposit down for it appx one week ago. It is awesome - looks great and has some nice features - very happy that it is blue tooth compatible for my cell - since here in California we can no longer drive with a cell phone to an ear (must be hands free).
 
Suggestion for everyone out there waiting. Call around to find out what stock items your dealerships have allocated to them and put a deposit down on one of them. There are so few options except color that you should be able to find one from stock that meets your needs. Sorry - but it appears that stock items are being delivered first. I think that Ford is giving most of those with special orders the run around. Good luck - everyone!!!

Congratulations!
 
Please post pictures of your vehicle, because the one I have on order since April 21 is White Suede and the only Ford vehicle I could use to determine what that color looked like was a 2008 Ford Expedition sitting on the dealer's lot.
 
There is a My CarSpace link at the top of the page that should allow you to upload the pictures. Alternatively, I can show you how to get a free ShutterFly account to post them too.
 
Is your vehicle the Hybrid Limited version (300A or 700A) or the regular Hybrid (350A or 750A)?
 
Is your vehicle FWD (U49) or 4WD (U59)?
 
Did you get the Navigation System (60N) ? I'm particularly interested in photos of the two screens associated with the Energy Monitoring System and gas mileage.

A salesperson in Daly City, CA sent me an email Saturday evening stating that they had taken delivery of six 2009 FEH. Perhaps if someone is in the area, they can give them a call. I'm hoping my order was among those they received but I haven't received a confirmation yet.

Sounds like California is hopping. I just got as message from our dealer in Sonoma. Car is arriving in the morning (Tuesday.)
 
Now, I gotta get my 2005 Escape Limited sold! Probably will ride up tomorrow to give them the go ahead on installing the step bars (since Ford dropped the ball on the factory install and the dealer needs my in person go ahead.)
 
Will pick up this weekend.
 
Regards,

I picked mine up this last saturday 7/26... By far the coolest car I've ever owned. Not having owned a FEH prior to this, I have nothing to compare it to.. but running in electric mode, I've been able to go *about* 18 miles to work before the engine kicked in. (my commute is mostly residential roads anyway). But, either way, I could get up to 40 without trying all that hard in electric mode.
 
I also sprang for the NAV system with all the integrated sync/sirius stuff. While it was expensive, it is very cool. Got it paired with 2 cell phones, 3 ipods and a usb drive. works great!
 
The Sirius Travel link thing is pretty cool. Nothing like laying a radar weather image over the top of your GPS map... pretty cool.
 
Hope everyone else has such a positive experience!

Maybe those who have received or are receiving their FEH's soon should say where they are, that might help others. I got mine, live in Colorado

" I've been able to go *about* 18 miles to work before the engine kicked in. (my commute is mostly residential roads anyway)."
 
That doesn't seem possible - it would equate to 100MPG or so (actually, 999MPG for those 18 miles).
 
Are you sure you aren't misreading the energy display somehow?

Nope.. it was in full electric mode. But, remember, I was *trying* to keep it electric. So, I wasn't really driving all that normal. Had I been driving normal the engine would have ran for sure. (i.e. - I started extremely slow from a stop - so had someone been behind me, it wouldn't have been practical).
 
Thats my record so far.. most of the time, the engine is kicking in and out all the time..
