10/18 Build Week Gang

[Slmache]

Seems like if you can't get the rebate next year its almost even?

Well not really. The mache I ordered is 54k premium, this is a GT with a MSRP of 61k, add on the additional markup and it’s up to 66k

Has anyone had this happen with their order? Mine has an estimated delivery date of 12/22-12/28 and when I was getting ready to follow up with my dealer, I searched their site for Mach E inventory, and low-and-behold, MY Mach E shows up on their inventory (as "not in stock...") but with my VIN, and a mark-up of 3K. Should I be worried? I'm contacting them today/visiting to understand the situation...

That it automatically shows up in their inventory is normal. The ADM is not.

It seems that the Westward (Bay Area) Union Pacific Railcar has spent all of Friday at one place in Nebraska. The report of the town is unintelligible and the fax thing has never sent anything, but I am imagining 'ninthpla' whatever, might be North Platte. There were no further updates since 4 AM till late last night. Using Google Earth it seems that the huge railyard in North Platte is a likely place to stop for a while.

For scale - in the picture above there is a trapezoid of sidings at the top of the picture which is pictured again below.

Closer still: These seem to be grain cars, stored here for harvest.

Instead of being Grumpy, I will continue to track this journey and work on my garage cleanup. Nesting for the coming arrival. And checking my dealer's website for my VIN listing. I have seen that on other dealer sites, Subaru for instance, where incoming cars are listed.

After a week in KC I had some Pals info on my order last Friday. No SEG info now. Ford tracking shows the same 12/27 end ETA.
I called the dealer again - their info showed updates today for a junction in Kanas City MO then he (the general manager) dug some more (this was over the phone and he did not describe what he was searching) and had a new railcar number. I checked on this using CSX and internet - it is a auto transport car owned by Canadian National with the last tracking on 9/9 in Texas. I do not think the CSX system tracks empty railcars - they seem to appear when loaded. I remain hopeful of real updates once the train starts moving - using UP is what I needed to do - see later post. I will update here if the information becomes more interesting - heading west, likely to Benicia, then north on a truck to Redding.

Please post if you have progress leaving Kansas City.

please post if you find a way to track your rail car. what is UP? thanks

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?

I have been posting updates, when they happen. My MME is on a UP- Union Pacific Railcar heading to the West Coast I got the railcar ID from my dealer's Visibility report and have called the UP phone number and tried to understand the city names blurbed in the tracing report.
More info- in the Tracking Thread
Your railline will be different heading East.

H! I have one coming from KC to New Castle, DE on NS and have not been able to get the automated tracking to work for me. I would greatly appreciate you sharing the NS car number with me. Thanks

Sure. See my next post, I'll make like @TargaGone and do updates on it, because why not.

Thank you! Mine is supposed to be on TTGX 702355. I‘ve tried all the ways that I have found on the forum to track it and none has worked for me.

TTGX965471 bound for New Castle departed Delphi, IN at 11:14 am. Are you sure about your rail car #? What is your VIN?

Hi, I got the car number from the VVR

I show same info as you, unfortunately. Have you tried calling the dealer and asking for the inventory manager? Some have had better luck there than going through the sales person. If it really left KC on 12/2 it should be getting close to DE by now. Good luck!

Ah! I would wait.
