Looks like my car finally arrived in Kansas City yesterday afternoon. My end ETA day is tomorrow May, 4th, so I'm assuming they are gonna fly it into Chicago.
Yay!
Ahem. What did I tell you? By the 5th?
I am happy for you. Salesperson texted me yesterday about the same ETA . His tone was not optimistic. My rail car is still emptied in Quebec. Unless my MME has a new rail car, I will need to borrow your skeleton avatar.
DAY 14 and counting. I figure mine is waiting for everyone else who remains out there from 1/3 and 1/10 groups.
Seems like us Texas guys are finally getting close. Why does the railyard have to be closer to Ft Worth though. Seems like an unfair advantage.
For Bay Area it is BNSF.
Could you please give more detailed information on enabling handsfree liftgate. Congratulations on the new ride!!!
Fingers crossed friend!
I love that red!!!! Beautiful.Took delivery of my car yesterday evening! Was so busy with it I forgot to post! Dealer honored the $2000 price protection, no markup, and gave me the incentives at time of purchase (Ford Options 2.70% APR $1000 cash) plus the $750 MY22 private offer. Got it for exactly the price I wanted to pay, got lucky there.
FYI I was able to successfully enable the handsfree liftgate with FORScan, works great. Also got really lucky there. So just the front windows being tempered vs. laminated compared to 2021 MY. Noise really isn't that bad, on the freeway wind noise from glass roof is what I primarily hear.
Sharkfin plastic and gate lip arrived scratched due to plastic film rubbing on it during transport (came loose and was flapping in the wind), inspect that area carefully. Had one minor scratch on the rear fender I elected to leave alone.
Car also has a weird thump felt in the driver's floor going over some bumps, that may require further investigation. Ride somewhat bouncy as expected. I noticed the rear springs are a lot softer than the front springs, I can hardly get the front to compress. I get about 1.5 cycles out of the rear rebound, so needs a little more damping. Mechanical brakes are also pretty rough, hopefully they smooth out from wear over the next few days or else it's going back for the brake TSB.
BlueCruise won't work yet because of the pending maps update, due to Ford servers being messed up right now I asked that they didn't try to do any software updates. Lane centering also doesn't work for the same reason. Hopefully I get another OTA push in the next few days, otherwise I will update the GWM manually with FDRS.
My car came directly from Kansas City via Palsapp. Once it says dispatched the truck is on the way. In my case it arrived the next day. If you live outside of trucking range of Kansas City, you'll have to wait longer for the car to be put on another train east or west. Palsapp will reflect the vehicle being transferred via truck to the next rail terminal unless the destination says your dealer.
Hang in there everyone else! It was a long 10 month wait for me.
My car has been in Laredo, Texas since 4/25. Still waiting for paint to dry. I mean shipment to move!!!
