11/7/22 Build Week Thread for 2023 MME's

[gryphon]

it was the GM, Cameron.

Okay, I just got the email from him. Our train cars must be part of the same train because he also said that the ETA to KC was 11/28. However, it still shows an ETA to the dealer of 12/13, which would be two days after yours. Seems like they'd travel together, but who knows?

I'm not sure about the text thing, I'm pretty sure they can associate a specific VIN to a phone number. Check out this posting to see what I'm talking about...

What is CSX? mine is KCS which i can't seem to find any info on how to track.

CSX is a rail carrier but looking at their website they service the eastern US. i think KCS is Kansas Southern railways, but as far as i know they don't have an automated tracking system. i just called their customer service number and someone answered the phone.

having said that rail cars apparently belong to different companies but they can be pulled by any other rail company's engine. the tracking info in the forum sticky post says that all trains leaving mexico start as CSX but this doesn't seem to be the case as i've tracked a lot of railcars people have given in this forum and CSX didn't have status on any of them. i've come to believe this is because BNSF is the railway ford has contracted with, but i don't have any proof.

Dealer was able to get back to me, the car is in Lecheria as of 11/19, no other update since.

actually, duh, the screenshot the dealer sent me shows Kansas City Southern as the rail company. so that's that. probably no way to track this unless and until a different rail carrier brings the cars from KC to Richmond.

Such a bummer man, sorry. What are you being told about ETA?

 

[qqq_lamb]

Being told ETA 12/10 by both ford chat and dealer, but apparently it is stuck somewhere.

Ugh, 11/7 so you must be batch 9217?

I'm 472! I was "in production" for 8 days, so nothing as egregious as your case, sorry about that. Are you N or S California?

How do you get the chat to tell you? All I got was the same crap they told me in the email, sorry for the dealy...supply chain...keep your pants on....you'll get when you get it so cram it with walnuts. (i may have added that last part).

.you'll get when you get it so cram it with walnuts. (i may have added that last part).

I have never heard that expression. It was always "You'll get what you get so don't throw a fit". Cramming walnuts sounds more productive though. ?

Cram it with walnuts, ugly. Is a line from The Simpson

I finally moved out of production and am shipped!

The tracker doesn't show my actual build date, but I don't care as long as it's moving. HA
