The Build Week 1/24/2021 Club

[sockmeister]

My dealer is about 20 miles away but we had to go pick up an order from the Sam's Club yesterday morning and it's only a couple of blocks away so I drove by the dealer. They're closed on Sundays with gates over the driveways. Didn't want to park on the side of the road and walk in so I headed to Sam's and then went home. I did see their Infinite Blue FCTP car parked out front but with the ridiculous pollen we're going through now it had a decided yellow tint to it.

I hear you. It's the absolute worst on black cars. It hasn't quite started up in PA yet, but I'm dreading the weeks where I get a temporary seasonal color change on my car

Yeah it is amazing sometimes. You have to run your wipers to clear your windshield. Fortunately I don't have allergies but it really effects some people.

I’m so fortunate another member ordered a Premium AWD and First Edition.
I was allowed to put a deposit on the Premium they ordered, long story short I’m in the same build week and have been watching this particular VIN since February.
It was stop shipped in Kansas at that time and has since went Argentine on March 9th.
Original ETA after leaving Mexico was 3/22
Today I noticed it changed to 4/27
However, I watched a nearby dealership VIN that is 2 weeks in front of mine and it made it to the dealership last week.
So, I’m hopeful it shows up before May, and grateful I still get to buy one ?
(The dealer up here let me put $500 on a MME in November and they didn’t even know it was their FCTP until the day I showed up to drive it)

I had a tree at our last house that dropped pollen pods. There was so much pollen the week the tree did this that I had to SHOVEL the pollen off our driveway into one of those leaf bags you buy at Home Depot. Gross.

Update: I found an old picture...

I thought there would be some more people announcing arrivals today. not me necessarily but I thoughts others would. Few more hours in the day I guess.

1/24 build week......

....... still waiting

Ours made it to the Argentine Ramp on 3/13 with a scheduled delivery between 3/19 and 3/25. Which then was updated to 3/24 to 3/30. Today my salesperson said the VV report showed the rail car in Vaughn, NM as of yesterday; it sat in Wellington, KS most of last week. I'm stuck between either watching my "days to delivery" start counting up or finding the etaEndDate get pushed into April like others.

I am guessing mine sits in Wilmington (been there since March 19th waiting for other mache’s for a full truck load to come my way or it is being sent back to KC. Not many mache’s being delivered to central Pa so could be waiting for a full trucks worth to deliver some kind of loop to different dealers my way.

or worse, it really is on another stopship for maintenance like the Ford rep indicated. In which case I think it goes back to KC like some early cars did.

so on the theory it is waiting for other mache’s, how many in our club that had their eta change to April are from more rural type areas? Anyone?

Just heard from my dealer that my car officially arrived in Delaware on Saturday (March 27). Hopefully that fills up the truck @Plutoman15 and they'll head out tomorrow morning. Here's hoping!

IT'S HAPPENING! This is the week. For both of you. I can feel it...Mach-E senses tingling

Man I hope so.

For me, I think it was a 5 day delay between arrival in wilmington and arrival at the dealer. But, that includes a weekend. And it probably depends on whenever the truck goes out. Still, I think you'll have it at the dealer this week.

Man I hope so.

Ummm... If it makes you feel better, I just checked again this morning on the tracker site and it changed from April 5 to May 11. That can't be right if it got to Delaware on Saturday, right? RIGHT!? ?

I just checked all of the other VINs that were included in my palsapp trip #. Originally they all had the same "ETA End Date" as me +/- 3 days, with the exception of one that appears like it will be delivered by truck instead of second train ride.

When I just checked today, they are:

• March 29 (that trucked one going to IL)
• April 4 (Going to MA, NY, VT)
• April 5 (Mine going to PA)
• April 6 (Going to VA)
• April 8 (Going to GA)
• April 29 !! (Going to Koons Ford in MD)
• May 23 !!!!! (Going to Tidelands Ford in SC)

Something is up... but I don't know if that actually means there is something wrong or if there is even a chance of a delay. More information from the void.

OK, something's going on with the tracker database and I think it auto updates if it gets nervous that you're going to go past your date or something. What's interesting is that my order page still shows the original date (as I believe others have pointed out), but the tracker date for almost all the cars on my train got pushed back today...

Now they are:

• April 4 (Going to NY)
• April 8 (Going to GA)
• May 1 (Going to VA)
• May 2 (Going to IL)
• May 6 (Going to MD)
• May 10 (Going to MA, VT)
• May 11 (Mine going to PA)
• May 23 (Going to SC)

What the heck...
Yeah, you may be right. I think there was at least one other person whose date got pushed to May, but then the car showed up at the original date anyway, right? I can't remember who it was.
