8/29/22 Build Week Gang

[Spiderman]

So glad to hear it was worth the wait! Congratulations.

My first ford I've owned. Inital impressions are outstanding. FIt/finish/drive/comfort are top notch.

Dealership experience was very reassuring and easy for my ordered (oct 2021) RR AWD Premium ER.

I am on this reserved list for a lightning. Can't wait for that too. Let's get that Bronco EV launched! I want one of those too!

Thank you to all who made this a wonderful car to experience.

Small update. I took over a November, '21 order that was part of the 8/29 scheduled production but didn't get built until 9/6 and shipped on 9/8. ETA has been and remains 10/5-10/11. The last couple weeks every time I checked with Ford they said it was in Richards Gerbaur. I checked on Monday and got that answer. I try to only reach out once a week for my own sanity but since today is the first day of my delivery window I thought I'd check again and finally there was movement. Now it's been received at Ramp 6M (I think it was 6M but I closed the chat and am not 100%) in Argentine, KS.

I hope this means other people stuck in Richards Gerbaur are also moving. Also I hope that the Ford tracking is like a week behind because I can't imagine it getting from KS to my dealer in PNW within my delivery window.

Well I'm not sure where you're heading in the PNW CarpeCarne, but mine is coming to Coeur d'Alene, ID and I was sitting in Argentine, KS for over two weeks. I was finally told Monday that I have a Burlington Northern number and it's left ramp 6M, but it's not giving me any info yet when I call in and chat didn't have any more info. I am hopeful it'll make it for my October 15-21st window.

We have a rail car number! Since I'm in my delivery window I don't feel bad contacting Ford Chat daily. Yesterday it was at ramp 6M in Argentine. Today it's in the same location but I got this update:

"I show your 2022 Mustang Mach-e - VIN XXX is In Transit. The Railcar # is TTGX995840 (Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co ) and the vehicle location is Ramp 6M, Argentine, KS. The estimated arrival date is Oct-11-2022."

Other than the rail number the only other change is I previously had a delivery window of 10/5-10/11 and now it's just 10/11. Once the train starts moving I assume it's only a day or two to the Seattle area. And then could be as quick as 1 day or as long as a week for the trucking company to deliver to the dealership. Is that about right? Also do we know if there's ever delays after a rail car number is assigned? Like could it sit in Argentine with a rail car # for 2 weeks?

My car is currently in Montana, just one state over! I am still scheduled for a 10/15-10/21 delivery, which works out because I am out of the country on a little vacation until 10/14... It's looking promising for my delivery date to be correct, however I know things can change.

CarpeCarne - Mine left Argentine 6 days ago (went from MO, up to MN, then over to MT) and was in Argentine for 2 weeks 2 days. Hope yours goes quick!

So close! I'm hoping having a rail car # indicates that it will not be spending weeks in Argentine but who knows.

Help! Ordered 12/28, Build 9/12, ETA 10/8-14, but the dealership is telling me it’s STILL IN KS! How can that be true?

In the same place. Build 8/24, shipped 9/17, vehicle has been in Argentine KS since 9/30 and ETA is 10/8-10/14. Vehicle needs to come to CA. Spoke to the dealer today and they said there's no chance that would happen and expects it would most likely be end of Oct or Nov when I can expect the vehicle.

How is this possible? I’m hearing something different from m dealer, but if they’re not going to make the delivery window, why haven’t they updated you or the window?

The dealer doesn't have information from the shipping companies. It's based on what he has seen happen so far. He said that if the vehicle hasn't left KS, there's no way the vehicle can be ready to be delivered within a week. He also said that they have seen vehicles stay in port of Richmond (which is where the vehicle will be delivered to from Argentine Ramp) for 10 or more days. Early Nov is their best guesstimate. The dates in the website is based on the actual dates updated by the shipping company and will get updated once the next step happens. Those dates may not always hold true. I've had my delivery window change from 9/19-9/25 to 9/22-9/28 to 9/26-10/2 to 10/8-10/14

Curious how its looking for making your end of window delivery date. Im also in Seattle and mine was shipped last Thursday with a 10/31 - 11/6 delivery window. Figured you would be as good as it gets as far as estimating actual delivery time to Seattle. Thanks in advance.

I've been pestering Ford chat daily and haven't had any update beyond it's still in Argentine. However today they told me that their last update was 10/6. So I would recommend when you get updates from Ford support make sure to ask them when their latest update was because I didn't realize the agents were giving me days old info each time until today. Tomorrow is the end of my delivery window so we'll see what happens. I would guess at a minimum they will push my delivery window back a week if it isn't delivered.

Ugh. So sorry for us both. I am losing my patience!
