Mine has finally arrived at my dealer! Original delivery window was 12/27 - 1/2, so not too bad. It sounds like I can pick it up on Friday.

Congrats!

Glad to hear it made it a few days later than expected!

If you can, ask the dealer if Ford's Red Carpet Lease has new terms to offset the price of yours that won't meet the IRS rules on tax credit ?

Is the Red Carpet lease different than Ford Options (that's what I'll most likely be going with)? I'll be sure to ask about the tax credit stuff.

Yes it's different.

Ford RCL is a standard lease that Ford is the owner and gets the $7500.
Ford Options is a finance balloon contract that plays like a lease (miles / year, RV, MF) but you own it.

The issue for yours is post 2023 delivery which exceeds the tax credit MSRP set by the IRS recently.

So while you can't get the $7500 using Options, I was wondering if Ford RCL may change their terms so that they might pass along the $7500 they get according to the new IRA tax law.

Per Ford Chat, railcar TTGX980591 with Union Pacific as of 1/3/2022. Ramp 6U in Muncie.

Like Muncie, Indiana ?

Isn't that the wrong direction for us west coasters ?

Called Union Pacifico’s automated tracing and got this status for my rail car:

TTGX980591
Loaded
Set out Jan 5 4:29am(?)
ETA Jan 10

I’m assuming the ETA is to Mira Loma which ruins my expectations of picking up this weekend. No VINVIEW update from the dealer yet.

@4sallypat have you gotten any updates on your car?

Your Mach-E is in transit and has been shipped via Railcar # TTGX978518 (Norfolk Southern Corp ) on Ramp 6U in Muncie, KS. How do I track this via the railcar? I forget.

Uh Oh - I was afraid of this!

Did they update the Ford tracker ?

I have the same expected dates and Ford chat said it was in transit from Mexico to KC, MO last week.

 

[DomiinUS]

Ford tracker doesn't show me any date....
