Congratulations! That was fast. I have seen a car delivered to west of Fort Worth within 13-15 days after KC arrival. However, there was a car that took a month to find its way to the dealership. My MME arrived KC on 04/08 and it has been sitting at Argentine Ramp 6M on Monday or even earlier. It was still sitting there yesterday. All involved parties (including me) are still optimistic that it should be here by the 25th.

I'm on ramp 6m now. Curious to see your progress.

What's the current status of yours? In KC or?

KC theoretically

Still waiting for everyone to get on the train so I can be the last man standing. Met another forum user today who order in late 2021. His car was made after mine, and he got it weeks later. Gotta love FILO (First-In-Last-Out).

I was asked today at the Drive Electric event if I planned selling my 2021 to tie in with my new 2022 arriving and I laughed, and laughed and said, "you had me at planned".

I just texted with the dealer. The dealer was not sure but hoping that it would be here on Monday. Based on the other two MME delivered last week here in town and the date on window stickers of those two and my MME, my MME should be here in the afternoon on Monday. Unless, yesterday gust wind was too strong and that could cause the delay.

This is just my conspiracy. I come up with a theory that there is a train leaving KC to Dallas on Thursday and get to Dallas in the weekend. A car seems to be moved out from KC to Dallas after the second Thursday after KC arrival.

I’m on the 1/3 build week, my car got to KC on approximately 4/11 and after getting no help from the dealer the Ford chat told me yesterday it was sitting at the Alliance rail yard north of Fort Worth. And of course they don’t know exactly when it will get trucked from there to the dealer. Each step starts another clock on waiting for when someone might get around to moving it along to the next stage but with no one having any idea about how long that clock may run.

Sorry to hear that. That is a good data point for the theory. You are right every stop will create a new variable. My MME arrived KC on 4/8. I hope that my MME and your were on the same train. My dealer is pretty good at sending a truck in for the last haul. I assume that is the dealer responsibility.

No - the shipper lines everything up. Dealer just gets it when it arrives. That is why the dealer really does not know any more than the many consumers checking the various tracking options. The same bad data you receive is basically the same data the dealer receives.

Hey all, been lurking here for a while. But I am also a 1/10 MachE build weeker. My dealer is saying delivery ETA is 5/8-5/14, but I talked to the Ford chat 3 days ago and they said ETA is 4/26, and the current location is in Alliance, Texas.

Config: 2021 (Moved to 2022) Rapid Red Premium ER RWD
Ordered: 9/2
Build week: 1/10
Built email: 3/1
Shipped email: 3/10
Palsapp showed delivered: 4/1
Reservation Rage ETA: 4/3-4/9

But other than me actually asking for updates, since I got the email on 3/10 that it was shipped, I haven't heard anything else from Ford, no updated ETA other than when I reached out in chat or to the dealer.

Please Help ?

Please Help ?

Now I expect that picture on my next carton of Milk!

I was very excited to get my MME PE in February, but then I got the notification it was delayed until June. Even knowing they may be conservative, I got really antsy and started looking around. I looked at a bunch of 2021s, but ultimately decided I'd probably prefer a smaller car, and I ended up getting a Polestar 2.

I just got an email saying that my car is shipped, so it looks like it might be one month early. Not sure why I'm still getting those emails; Ford refunded my deposit a month ago.

Sorry for being a traitor.

And... My ETA has been changed to 5/28/2022 - 6/3/2022. About what I was expecting. ?

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm still thinking of buying a different car because this is taking way to long.

 

[RickMachE]

Got an email this morning, unsure if it's from @Ford Motor Company, but seems to be giving me an updated arrival date...

Picked up my Pony on Friday (Earth Day). Tracking on Ford’s website was useless. Calling their chat gave better information. The site ordertrack.app gave accurate information especially toward the end as the car was transferred to a truck. I knew it was at the dealer before my salesperson as it arrived overnight. Stivers Ford in Waukee, IA knew exactly how to handle price protection so pickup was very smooth.
