6/20/22 Build Week Gang

What does CPR stand for?

I wish it were something fancier like Car Progress Report but sadly in this case it’s the Canadian Pacific Railroad.

I have been resisting the urge to contact Ford chat or do any tracking of my vehicle after I got the official shipped email from Ford on 7/1. I keep telling myself it won't help this thing get here any faster and it can only make me more anxious seeing how close or far away it is at this point.

I am, somehow, still awaiting shipment...

My car is headed to the same area and I've also been waiting since my build date of 7/2. Still no indication that it has shipped but delivery estimate still says 7/27-8/2.

What is your delivery estimate?

Heard back from the dealer this afternoon and he had the same info as did Ford corporate. That said, CPR now reflects the train as on the move having departed KC this evening just after 6:15 pm. Progress. Means next major junction is Chicago on its way north through Detroit-Windsor. I expect that by around the end of this week/beginning of next week it should hit the border…. The auto delivery gods be willing.

Mines probably with yours

Not sure what is happening with my MME. As of yesterday late afternoon it's still at Ramp 6R, Richards-Gebaur, MO. Only change from last Thursday is now it doesn't have a railcar # assigned. Came in on the same railcar as Khornby whose MME has left KC already. The Ford chat person didn't seem to like the fact that I wasn't calling the dealer for updates. Mentioned three times during the short chat that I should be calling the dealer for updates.

I'm thinking mine as well (also hoping). Hopefully it doesn't waste any time in Chicago. Fingers crossed.

Mine was in Richards-Gebaur on Thursday, but has been stuck in Muncie KS since Saturday. It has a railcar assigned but hasn't moved.

The train as of this morning is sitting in Davenport, Iowa in the CPR yard there. It’s the halfway point to Chicago I’m hoping it doesn’t sit there too long.

Lastest update on

Per Ford Chat:
My MME shipped on 6/28 and went from Laredo, TX to Intenati, MO to Richards-gebauer, MO and is on Ramp 6R as of 7/8, scheduled to be delivered Aug 6-12. My dealers says that's nonsense and should be here within a week (Dallas, TX). The dealer has been pretty much wrong on everything so far.

The vehicle is still in Richards-gebaur, MO. The ETA still shows August 06-August 12, 2022.

However now it seems to be off the train and on a truck. The convoy shows, Convoy # 1362546247 (Jack Cooper Transport ).

I live in Dallas and the dealer told me it would come to mesquite Texas from Mexico and then be delivered via truck and take less than 2 weeks (as on June 24). 18 days later it's now on a truck in Missouri. I just can understand why it takes 2 months to get a car from Mexico to Dallas Texas.

Thank you for update! Keep em coming!

Seems GTs get priority during shipping as well. Hoping it's just the system not updating my location...

I'm kind of curious about how the logistics of it all works. I realize that Ford is not assigning routes and picking what rail cars the vehicles will ultimately wind up on, but it does seem strange that cars produced so close to one another can wind up so far apart in the shipping chain.

From a shipping perspective I think it's just dumb luck myself.

I suspect that when there's delays in places like Kansas City that the parking lot becomes tetris and they can get into a situation where it's last in, first out and some of the cars in the back of the lot (which have been there the longest) don't move on until the log jam is cleared. Complete conjecture of course.
