Update: It APPEARS that my car has made it to MO and KCS will "inspect" (I think that's what he said) the railcar at 6 AM tomorrow AM (so it could be at International, MO). Either that or they will "expect" the railcar at KC, MO tomorrow at 6 AM. I really am unsure, but progress has been made.

My chat update today:

Thank you for your patience. I show the vehicle is In Transit. There is a Delay with the Convoy Carrier. I show the location to be On Rail, NU with an ETA of 05/14/2022

Whatever that means :v

To me, sounds like a bunch of malarkey. My patience is only so tolerant.

I called KCS.
The chat is a hit or miss with me. Some want to go dig. Some just read the VVR, and have no clue what the ETA means.
There are bound to be delays with the convoy carriers along the way, since we need more truckers.
Hang in there.

I looked up the Nu carrier. They used to be a huge carrier, then they were acquired, sued, bankrupt, sued, acquired, and then...and then... and then...

I think one of the major issues with the supply chain is that transportation companies are 1) completely behind the times. They're still operating with 1980s technologies; 2) many of the transportation companies seem to be shells designed to protect owners from lawsuits.

Everything about them seems to be shady AF.

My delivery dates are 4/22 - 4/28, yet no shipping notification (stuck at "Built"), and Palsapp status of ASN. What gives?!

When it says delivered in Palsapp, expect about a month after that date from my own estimate to the dealer. It looks like you're in Nor Cal, I'm in So Cal.

I suggest finding cars that just show up at your dealer and look those up on Palsapp to gauge timing (or just chat with Ford), but no amount of chatting is going to speed it up so I just wait.

And just like that. Ford tracker says "Shipped"!
Maybe your salesperson could check the sales manager vehicles status report to see when they expect the vehicle to arrive. All other dates from various reports, even the VVR, were bogus for me. The VVR was always accurate though as to where the vehicle was.

So are you before or after KC?

Im still in a post KC black hole. Called dealer and left a message. I'll have to show up at this point.

I had a few extra minutes today, so I figured, what the heck, I'll try Ford Support to see if anything is new with my missing MME... I got the same answer

I have no idea. @SpaceEVDriver do you think I left KC with this?
My (one data point) experience is that Palsapp will update when your vehicle is in KC (and I think only once it's off the train and scanned by the Jack Cooper employees). Then it will be another two weeks (+-) before your vehicle is delivered. The trucker shortage is pretty bad right now, though, so if your car is going convoy to your dealer's local distribution center, you may need to wait three+ weeks after Palsapp updates.

But... I only have my one data point (plus some digging into other cars).

Note that many dealers put the cars they're expecting on their websites seemingly immediately after they've shipped. My dealer never put my car on their website. I wouldn't rely on the dealer website for anything other than pulling VINs to get an idea of what's going on with other vehicles.

Hm. Palsapp never updated for me.

Also it's not up on the dealer site. They seem to be pretty good with not listing orders. They told me they try to stay away from it...causes too much confusion and customer frustration.

Also, the KC yards have real names, not just abbreviations. Somewhere in the 146 pages of this thread, I mentioned several names. I don't remember them at the moment.
