5/16/22 Build Week Adventures

well ideally I'll at least have a trade in next time lol. guy asked me what I was driving before this, I said, "I took the bus here" lol.

btw I got two key fobs IDK if that's standard now but a nice thing to have. especially since the fordpass app constantly crashes on my Android (something the engineers are aware of I'm told)

My sales guy has told me 2 or 3 times now that they've been coming with 2 fobs.

Yes, I got two key fobs by default (I didn't ever inquire about it).

Word to the wise - I was kind of disappointed with the sound quality in my new MME after thinking it sounded really good back in my test drive. Turns out that the EQ had been screwed up (bass all the way down, treble all the way up, etc). Not sure if that's an intentional thing to be sure they don't blow out the speakers while testing things, or just a random weird thing that happened only to me.

After resetting the EQ back to baseline it sounds great! A little bummed my soundtrack was compromised those first couple days with my new car ?

Anyone ever have their estimated delivery date as per the Ford tracking site roll backwards? Mine was estimated July 4-10, then earlier today it went July 9-16... now it's back to July 4-10. Hoping that's a good sign or it could very well just be a bug on the site.

My estimated delivery date never moved that I'm aware of, but my car arrived about 2 weeks early. It seems like there's no way to know. There must be some allowance for hold ups built into their estimations, and if you get lucky like I did, none of those delays might occur. Or you could be stuck waiting for a railcar in Mexico, waiting for a rail transfer in Missouri, or waiting for a car hauler at the end of the line (or Mystery Option D). I asked them for the location on the Ford chat support site and they told me it was at a town <100 miles away so I knew it was getting close, but figured any number of delays could still happen. Just got lucky I guess.

Got word that my car reached the Richmond ramp on July 4th and was received (thanks @emersonsdad for the info). Confirmed via Vehicle Visibility as well. This was after weeks of no updates via Ford chat - only status was that it reached Corpus Christi on 6/9 but nothing since. Hope the rest of the folks in that situation get good news soon as well.

Mine also just reached Richmond!

Well, this happened

Nothing from the dealer yet. Is it possible it's not *really* at the dealer. This is the first day of my estimated delivery range.

So in all likelihood, this price is an increase, correct?

Premium, SR, AWD, Floor mats.

It’s probably at the dealer.

If you ordered before 12/8 and your dealer is honest, you will get price protection.

Got info from @emersonsdad via DM. There's a whole thread for BNSF tracking. Vehicle Visibility updated this morning so might be worth chatting with Ford to see if you're in a similar position. For reference my rail car # was BNSF300163.

Just checked with the internet sales manager at my dealer and it looks like mine has also made it from Mustang Island to Richmond.

NS Norfolk Southern
1. Call 800-635-5768
2. Press 2.
3. Press 2.
4. Enter the letters on the numeric keypad then press #. As in: TTGX will be 8849
5. Enter the numbers ( 696459 ) then press #.

It says there is no tracing information for "TTGX996014" 8849# 996014#
does it mean it was still at Chropus Christi and not at Richmond like others ??

This business doesn't make sense.
