Update. I ordered another one of these dash cams for my mother's car. I selected the same shipping. Ordered on Aug 31st, arrived on Sept 13. It came from UK just like the last time, not sure why it was so much faster (2 weeks vs 2 months). FYI

For those who have received their cars already, what kind of tinting/paint protection/undercoating did you go with?

Did you get it from the dealer or do you recommend someone in the GTA area?

How much did it cost?

Interestingly enough and I don't know how, once I had them remove the rebate my payments worked out to $600 taxes in which minus $14,000 over 36 months makes the payment $211 taxes in.

I highly suggest everyone applies for themselves.

Now for the bad news. They said that if your car wasn't on this delivery you will likely be waiting another month.
So they only make one shipment every month? :rolleyes:

I finally got an explanation from my dealer why my car got delayed. My car was on the railcar on August 30th and for some bizzare reason the car was out of electricity and they had to sent the car back to Ford plant to get recharged. Since it missed the shipment and now is awaiting for shipment again.

I know it sounds like horse shit but I feel like it might be true. The reason I say so is when I asked my sales for an update on Sept 2nd, the status was showing "awaiting shipment, received by Leadec industrial services", and it had a ETA between Sept. 6th and 12th. But when I asked update again on Sept 7th, the status got changed to "Aawaiting shipment, Re-Released" and ETA became TBD.

I guess I've had enough complaints and rants about all this BS and now I'll just patiently wait for the car to arrive, no matter how long it takes......

The fact that it was received by Leadec and then Re-Released just tells you something went wrong and the car got returned back to the plant.

If they only ship once at the end of each month, then I think we're looking at middle of October to get our cars provided nothing goes wrong again.

So I just got the same story from my dealer today as well - ETA is now TBD.
My order date is also March 25 and build date in Aug too.
The general manager says he's going to ask his Ford rep on Monday when he visits the dealer.

I went to Ziebarts and got the whole package - $260ish for tints - he doesn't do ceramics, says over hyped, $260 for 3m half hood and other areas, $500 for lifetime undercoating with yearly inspections, free scotch guard and diamond paint protector. Total was about $1200 after tax. You take it back each year and they reapply the undercoating/regrease the areas that are exposed (hinges, trunk stuff, doors), and if you want the diamond paint coating warranty you have to pay $150 each year for a reapply and you get a full car detailing as part of that. Sounds like a lot, most of it is upfront though, and I will probably keep it going. I am too lazy to wax my car myself....

So we are the unlucky ones. What is your ETA if not TBD?

Hello, I have the worst luck. Drove to work, got my car fully charged at Eglinton Square. Drove off and my car kept stalling. I'm talking about 15-20 times... I could drive for maybe 5 seconds then the green light on my dash will turn off on its own and the car became powerless. I managed to crawl my way to Donway Ford but they can't diagnosis the issue today so I called roadside assistance to bring it to East Court Ford. Just FYI... There is definitely something wrong with my car.

Might be as simple as transmission position sensor problem.
Hope that's it.

No warning light? what's the battery percentage? From what you said it feels like the battery wasn't providing power or some sort? loose connection?

If you do get it on time it'll prove the information that dgrn8 got from dealer is wrong.
