Palsapp hasn’t updated in a while. Got a surprise today. Saw my car in the auto ramp facility at my job.

Wow! That is definitely a nice surprise. Right place and right time with your job I guess?

@sockmeister, today has to be the day they arrive at our dealer right? I have not seen anything update but I kind of doubt that we will. If my dealer doesn't receive it soon today, I will have to wait until next week to take it home.

I think that last few days of waiting might be the worst over the last 14 months ?

Haha, I have no idea what's going on down there. I was planning on calling the dealer to find out. I'm still expecting it to not show up until next week for whatever reason. I'll update as soon as I find anything out.

Also, it's worth mentioning that at Kansas City, it took them almost a week to transfer the car from one ramp to the next, and then a couple more days to actually get on the train. Wouldn't be surprised if it takes them somewhere near the same amount of time to get it off the train and then loaded up on a carrier.

Four of the nine MME's that were on the Palsapp waybill with mine were delivered yesterday. Memphis, Nashville, Alabaster (AL), and Mobile. FREAKIN MOBILE AL!!! How the heck did they miss me in Birmingham? And Alabaster is practically a suburb of Birmingham. How the heck is everyone around me, that I assume were on the same truck, getting theirs but not me?!?

I'm actually handling it better than my paragraph above I'm having fun with it, but I will 100% agree that the last few days are the worst.

I'm almost wishing we didn't know ANYTHING at all, and were surprised with the car showing up one day, lol. Ignorance is bliss...

BUT KNOWLEDGE IS POWAH

I ordered the launch year of the Ford Focus ST back in 2012 and didn't have any updates until it showed up one day. My dealer praised me for being patient and not calling him every day. I've been less patient about emailing him about the MME since I know I have the semi-ability to get updates, haha. Funny how that works. More information = more anxious.

Right. That's the problem with the Mach-E. We have JUST ENOUGH information to make us really confused, and anxious, but not enough information to reassure us.
On the other hand, like you mentioned -- knowing nothing at all would almost be better.

Yep, I have hardly bothered my dealer at all. I asked my salesman once about the VVR report, and when he looked at me like, I'm not sure what you are talking about, I just moved on. I'm convinced I get better information and data from the sources and individuals from this forum than from my dealer.

I hate how awkward it makes us feel to ask the Dealer for stuff you think they'd make readily available. I don't want to call them right now because I don't want to "bother" them, but ya know what? I'm the customer here. They have information. I should be in the know. So here I go.

My wife had no problem going off on the dealer yesterday. "Ford told us Monday, when we ask if you have more info you tell us 'the car isn't here yet' and WE KNOW THAT. We were hoping for more."

I'm just knowing that we'll get into some situation where we can't get there right away and the car will show up and have to sit there for days. (Such as going to my in-laws 2 hours away so I can fix computer crap for them.)

Ok, I just spoke with them. The car's not in yet, but they're expecting it next week. I am certain it's just sitting at Wilmington at this point. They also said they will need 1-2 days to address the bolt recall and detail it and so forth, which is normal. They're going to call me as soon as it comes in on the truck.

Better luck next week for us!

If you ever accidently click on dealer stock information, where it takes your email and phone number when you try to look up car info. The dealer WONT stop calling/emailing for weeks!!!

Once you actually purchase the car or in this case, pre-order. Crickets...no contact, and you're right you feel awkward for reaching out to them for more information lol.

I almost hate to mention this: #1 - I'm not 100% sure what happened and #2 - I feel like I might be enabling the addicts.

Anyway the Reservation Details site that @TheSeg created:
Ford Mach-E Reservation Details Viewer (seg.fyi)

"SEEMS" to update in real time. I was looking through the other cars that were on my waybill (as mentioned above), and I am almost positive that one of them showed "N/A" in the Final Delivery Date. I left that window open and on that page, but went to do some other work. I came back a few minutes later, and the Final Delivery Date said 3/19. When I noticed it, I wondered, and still do, if I saw it right the first time, but I think it may update as Ford registers a car as delivered. I have just left my details on the page now and left it open while I work. I'm hoping that since everyone around me got theirs yesterday that mine will update today.

I am so ashamed of myself. LOL. I should not be this involved. I'm a grown man for God's sake.

How are you checking the other cars on the new tracker, without an Order Number?
