6/20/22 Build Week Gang

hahahaha boss move. I think I might sprint over there -- I'm that excited. And I sold my car ahead of time - enjoy the car free life - until it arrives. Was your rail car number something with a KCS in front? Mine was KCS 008312.

I was told is # COER900566

is there any way to track the jack cooper convoys now? i heard they shut the function off on palsapp, even the workaround — unless i’m mistaken.

I had this same experience with tracking albeit with Canadian Pacific. The VVR still shows the vehicle in KC while CPR shows the car having left Chicago for Detroit.

I’m hoping that’s what’s happening with my car. According to Ford chat, it is still sitting in KC ramp 6. Hopefully in another day or so, their system will be updated and I will be able to get my Canadian pacific rail car number.

Looks like a railway strike for the 18th although Biden might intervene if he remembers hes in charge for a 60 day deferment.

I'm wondering the same thing. I tried the workaround today and it did not work.

I was curious and tried to track it after receiving an update from Ford today with my convoy number for Jack Cooper Transport.

Looks like my car made it in to Washington state last night, but apparently it's on the long way around and has to go through Portland before it comes back up here to the Seattle area. Either way it's getting to the area quicker than I had expected, not sure how much of a delay to expect between unloading and making its way to the dealership but good to see it moving along.

Looks like they are taking the flattest route. Avoided the worst of the Rocky's and the Cascades. Probably increases the load each train can pull to reduce costs.

Now have a railcar # but it's still at Argentine, KS. Last update for the railcar # was June 11.

That seems like a reasonable explanation. It's been making pretty good progress for the most part, spent a day in Minneapolis and now today it seems to have been held up in Pasco since this morning, but maybe it'll pick up again and get moving by tomorrow. Had kind of been hoping it might arrive in Seattle by this weekend but that may be a bit optimistic now!

I just got the email “complete your Mustang Mach-E purchase”. It basically seemed like a checkout cart and then just says see the dealer. Apparently my sales person is out until Monday.

What is your build or ship date?

Ordered 2/26 GT (not PE). Shipped the weekend of 6/25. I think my batch was 6651 but I’m not sure. I’m in Nashville. I called the dealer and they just told me it has been built and my salesperson is out until Monday.

Just got this satiates off chat. current order status is "In Transit" and has been received at Junction Point (Norfolk Southern Corp ) via railcar # CTTX692516 Kansas City Ja, MO.. looks like it got there on thee 15th. Is this a point now it starts heading east?

Finally got to Wilmington yesterday and am now at the "released empty" stage with Norfolk Southern this evening. United Road has me as pending pickup, so with any luck the dealership should have my car by next weekend.

Mine was built on June 22nd and shipped on June 23rd. Seems like 3.5 weeks on the train is abnormally fast and very lucky to go from the factory to drop off in Wilmington. Maybe it's just my luck balancing out a little bit after my build date got pushed back 6 times?

How'd you get info on who is trucking it in to the dealer? From your dealer or the chat?
