10/18 Build Week Gang

[connoisseurr]

@connoisseurr, you think you could find if my car is still sitting at Argentine ramp? VIN # 3FMTK3R78MMA57943. Called my dealer last week and they said it was still in Kansas and I shouldn’t expect the vehicle before 12/27. Getting a bit nervous it won’t get here before Christmas, or worse, the end of the year/end of incentives.

RailCar changed to BNSF303007 on 11/22. Maybe 3 weeks to CA. Not sure what the turnover time is at the Benicia Union Pacific Ramp... maybe others can chime in. That will be your hold up.

Just anyone have any idea what "Released to customer" means in the BNSF system?

This means that the railcar made its way to its destination - to be unloaded by the customer. The customer in this case is NOT the car buyer but either Ford or the transport logistics company hiding behind the scenes.

It is not working for me either. (still) Lets me pull up my vin but that's about it.

It stopped working for me too, as did the shop.ford tracker. My car is on hold at the distribution center in Ayer, MA awaiting a truck ride to my dealer 29 miles away. Original ETA was 11/21-11/27, but is now 1/3-1/9 for my 4/27 ordered premium.

Pals App finally populated this morning for me with Destination name--status is still pending, but I'm guessing it is getting loaded today for the 8 hour drive North...

After sitting in KC for a while (I think I was on Targagone's train from MX), I got a status change this morning that and it's heading east to New Castle on TTGX965471. Last location Missouri City, MO, around 3:30 am. Does anybody happen to know how long I can expect it to take to get to Delaware?

Now says Dispatched on 12/9... The delivery date to dealer estimate of 12/11 looks damn good!

Westward Ho Railcar CNA 712351 is on the move.
Update posted that this railcar and presumably the associated train have departed at 1:13 PM from an unintelligible place in Kansas.
The ETA at 'industry' has moved out a day to 12/16 at 11:59 PM. I expect that the terminus will be Benica. I have always been amazed at the number of cars collected here - which can be seen from the nearby 680 bridge.

Update here on my side. It looks like my mach e was loaded on a trailer last night and arrived at dealership today! They are going to detail and get it ready today for me to pick up tomorrow - need to work today .

Maybe someone else who knows how to use these trackers better can help me take a look

I think it's left kc before I can't find info on the train, but it could also just be stuck, it's all kinda confusing

It's showing as on rail car PW 104395 since 11/30.

Kk that's what I'm seeing, but the status of that rail car is released to customer. Which makes me think it's changed from that, but I don't know to prove that.

Dealer checked the VVR for me today and the bad news is it's still in KC, no update since 11/30.

OTOH, Ford still thinks 12/23-12/29, so there's still time. Moderately grumpy tho.

I’ve been “being built” since 11/11. No update. Last time I could get it loaded, it said 1/2/22 to the dealer…. But in not holding my breath. GT. 3FMTK4SE3MME03847

Delivered to dealer yesterday. I'll be calling this morning!
