My dealership contact, the one that entered my order before I submitted it online, acts like any info in the VV report is top secret. I emailed him asking if he could check my car's VV report and send me a copy of it. All I got back was "Our system shows it in transit from Mexico". Well, duh, I know that from any number of sources, both official, and through ways people here in the forum have discovered. Hopefully he'll deign to inform me when it arrives. Sheesh!
I know what you mean. I hate that type of dismissive response. I basically got the same thing from mine. But, they're not required to send it in the end... some dealers are just more helpful than others. :(

When did yours ship from Mexico? Mine is going to Chambersburg (hour and half west of you) and shipped Feb 10th so yours should be a good gauge on when mine will arrive.
did you get any palsapp.com updates on the way?

oh, and congrats!

Wow, you made good time. Mine was built 10 days before yours and hasn't even made it to KC yet.

I don't know when it shipped from Mexico - but it was officially" built" on 1/29.
Two palsapp updates:
- 2/19/2021 changing Origin to Kansas City and showing destination as Birmingham (Norfolk Southern) - Status "Dispatched on Feb 19 2021";
- 2/20/2021 showing "Delivered on Feb 19 2021" to Birmingham MO with an attached Delivery Receipt.
Last I heard from palsapp.
Good luck for a speedy delivery!

Yeah, there are quite a few EVs around here. And a surprising number of them are Teslas, considering there's no Tesla dealer anywhere in the state.

Good luck! It does sound like they are moving them out now.
Thanks. I sure hope so. Refreshing palsapp every few minutes doesn't seem to be making it go any faster for some reason :)

I spoke to the Dispatch in KC this morning for the company that transfers the cars from one ramp to another, for connection to ongoing transportation. My VIN was built 2/04, shipped 2/10 and arrived 2/25...been sitting there since then. Was told "Ford has a hold on it so we can't move it." He said he thought the problems of a month+ ago were resolved ("something to do with the charging systems, or 'flashing' the batteries"). Couldn't determine if just my VIN or others that just arrived. Ford 800# knows and says nothing..."it is In Transit." Dealer yesterday said VV system only showed latest status as the railcar number from MX to KC, which I tracked by email with the RR. Maybe a planned one-off for my VIN for QC? My expected delivery date in TX is 4/2-4/8...quite long for the progress it has made.

Anyone hear of another general "stop-ship"?

Yeah, wow, that has got to be the all time record for fastest delivery!
I'm in PA and shipped before you, yet I don't think mine is in KC even yet.

Sorry to hear. It all sounds so random. You'd think they would group the PA deliveries and ship together.

I got lucky to find someone at KSC railroad and my Mach is on a railroad car due in
Texas 2-25-21. Weather slowed it a few days. Ask your dealer what railroad car yours
is on. They have that info as that is where I got mine. Below is what dealer sent me.
As for now still in Mexico. Moven down the line. ;)

Did your ETA update to those dates recently or has that been the ETA all along?
That has been the date range along. Seems to me it is quite padded, certainly compared to other North Texas vehicles already delivered.
