10/18 Build Week Gang

[Mike B]

Wow that is early. My ETA is 1/1 - 1/7 but only got to Muncie in 12/4. When did yours get to Muncie if you don't mind me asking.

I have no idea. I got so frustrated trying to track my car, I gave up.

I gained some railcar insight today at the dealership. He brought up my report and actually listed FOUR DIFFERENT railcars. The AOK from Mexico and the current CNA car were accurate, but two others as well while in KC. If I had gotten that railcar info before my Westward assignment I would be rather confused. I did not bother to get the car info on those intermediate cars to see what reports they would show.
There have been no updates today on the Westward bound for the Bay Area Union Pacific railcar. Last seen in Nebraska.
ETA for Benicia still reported as 12/19.

you are on the train heading to new castle, last spotted about two hours ago at the swanton OH scanner. Your rail Car is Norfolk southernTTGX696808, which you can track by phone at 800 635-5768.

Ted, how are you pulling that information? Can you share?

Looks like the west coast will be getting there's before some of us on the east coast. It has been about 2 weeks since my dealership said "any day now". But what I can tell my car has been sitting in Brimingham MO. since the 6th of Dec. I contacted my dealership again and they said they have no way of knowing when it will leave MO.

Cutting it a little close considering some have said it can take 2-3 weeks to get picked up from the benecia station

Update on Railcar TTGX965471 and others on the train heading for New Castle:

"Intermediate Arrival", Conway, PA at 12:59 p.m.

Making good time now, just 311 miles (as the car drives) away.

I'm also suspecting that United Road may not be the last mile carrier for those of us in the DMV. While they have data for most all cars on my dealer's lot, they don't have any records of actually delivering a Mach E to my dealership.

hich you can track by phone at 800 635-576

Hi CapitolE - when you call that number, do you need to speak to a customer rep - or do one of the menu items allow you to just enter in the train car#? Thanks again

you don’t need to speak to anybody and I’ve read that you shouldn’t speak to anybody or the RR might cut off our ability to track. I have the whole string saved as a contact. You should be able to modify this number with your own rail car number (the six digit number) and save it to your phone.

The dealer has 3 ordered MachEs coming in together and plans to get them brought up pronto by the truckers that serve the Way Up North California dealerships regularly.

My dealer keeps ignoring emails as well - only way to get communication is to show up... the dealership system needs to go away. Good news is that the disruptive alternatives are already in flight - dealers will either have to get on board with new ways to purchase vehicles, or go out of business.

I'm sorry I don't. I think OVISS must pull from the same info as the dealers' VVR because I see that same rail car associated with your vehicle.

The general manager of my dealership has responded to my emails within minutes. I have never been a fan of car dealerships and I have never purchased a car at the sticker price. But, so far I am very impressed with Pittsville Ford in Pittsville, MD. Now if they can only produce the MME I ordered on June 3, I will be very happy.

I woke this morning to see a "complete your purchase" email from Ford.

Ford website account page now has a green checkmark on Shipped status, with a Begin Your Purchase button now appearing on the page. The status bar on shop.ford.com page does not have Shipped button checked.

Awaiting reply from my rep via text. Dealership opens in an hour.
