10/03/22 Build Week Gang

[Msnwcpa]

Look like my Mach E is in KC waiting to get on a train to GA. Delivery time frame has not yet changed.

That's nice, Congrats! your batch got shipped 3 days ahead of some of our batches and made it to MO. Looks like we are still stuck in TX or Ford does'nt have updates.

Mine was also last seen in Laredo, TX as of this morning. I was an early build batch but one of the latest to ship out. So probably all the cars in 10/3 build week have made it to Texas. I've read on other threads here that shipping updates aren't necessarily known until after arrival. So something might magically arrive at the next stop before you're given any indication it's on the move. (Others are able to get specific rail cars and track that way.)

Is it me or does it look like when checking other build weeks to expect about 1 month after estimated delivery at least?

That's going to depend on final destination. Going west seems like the worst... 4+ weeks without movement for some people. I've seen spot-on dates reported for Chicago and general upper midwest area (which is what I'm tracking).

Your dealer should be able to provide you with average time to lot. My sales person warned me from the beginning that it may be 8-12 weeks from build date, trying to err on the safe side.

Ugh, Seattle...

I guess for those of us in Laredo, middle of next week may be realistic for KC .. and then from there pray that the transfer to the next train only takes days and not weeks .. same thing with the truck once it reaches its final rail destination ..

The vehicle has been built and is being transported from the plant to the Dealership. The vehicle has Arrived at Junction Point in Laredo, TX. It was Shipped Rail - Railcar # KCS 008102. There is an ETA for delivery of your vehicle to your selling dealership of November 21st - November 27th 2022.

From Ford chat this afternoon

Guessing ours might be put on the same train to PA. My dealer seemed confident that it will be here by 11/17

Honestly I’ve heard/read that CA is the worst with fright backlog. WA maybe not so bad. WA is better and faster than OR. Comes to WA first, then to Portland.

Just spoke to Ford Chat, still stuck in Laredo it looks like. Hopefully it's just a case of not being updated. They are still showing the original delivery ETA though " It looks like your vehicle Arrived at Junction Point Laredo, TX on Oct-15-2022. The vehicle should arrive to your dealership no later than Nov-10-2022 "

Mine (shipped 10/10-10/11) was the same status per Ford y'day and 10/15 except this morning ETA in KC, MO on 23rd.

So folks on this chat are right, the status does not update until train has reached the destination.

Let's hope it leaves KC by midweek

When was yours shipped?

Yours must have already departed from KC.

So apparently the dealer knows when the car is expected to be at the showroom since they have to allocate floor space is what the person on the Chat told me

It seems our cars are on the same railcar....I just got the same information from my dealer yesterday, arriving in Toronto between Nov. 11 and 19th. Seems it's been sitting in Laredo since Oct. 15th.

I assume once we get to the KC hub my car will be put on a CP Rail conveyance for it's trip up North.

Good luck!

I've been calling KCS for updates instead of dealing with out-of-the-loop Ford chat. Mine was built on 10/8 and is in railcar KCS008350. I call 800-468-6527, select option 2 for automotive, then ask for an updated status and give them my railcar number. They're very friendly and give me a quick update on which city it's currently in. It's scheduled to arrive in KC tonight by 7:00 PM based on today's update!

Must be on the same train, mine is in KCS008174 and she just told me it is scheduled to arrive tonight. That was much more reassuring than ford continuing to state it is in Laredo.
