Shipped Mach-Es Arrive at Kansas City Terminal With Deliveries Imminent

[ChasingCoral]

I’m just thrilled the shipping folks have been working this week to keep cars moving onto trains this week. They’re really working to clear that parking lot and it looks like they’re continuing to give customer cars priority.

I feel your pain. But things could be worse.....
Your car could have been assembled and parked on Nov 18th and still sitting there until all the Retail cars ship.
Your car will likely ship before mine so hopefully that cheers you up a little.

Hope they wound down before their holidays; was a heck of a year. Time for a reset.

Guess they left them in storage at 50%? I saw a sat photo of the plant that shows it may be hard to charge them all there now. I assume the best is to build them and ship them as soon as you can. Just not a good year; some understand.

Wonder if it is it dusty down there?

Are there any Northern California cars shipped yet? My build date was to have been week of 11-29, but shipping information has been stubbornly blank. I'm actually not seeing that it was built yet.

Like mine. Built on 11/28 but not shipped yet. Just getting a tan under the Mexican sun ?

At least it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

I'm in NorCal. My FE was built 11/29. Received an ETA date of 1/21... but status still remaining in "In Production'.

I'm just looking forward to seeing electric cars around my neighborhood (Belmont in Ashburn) that ARE NOT Teslas. It seems every other car I see is a Tesla around here. Time for some variations.

I'm sure we'll be passing each other a lot. We'll have to meet up when both cars come in.

Wonder if it has to do with shipment schedules and whether or not it can make the next train out?

Perhaps. I'm not in a rush, thankfully.

Or filling a truck from KC to the DC area? 2/3-2/9 is when mine is scheduled to arrive, too.

Mine hasn't shipped yet but looking at others who posted their VINs that have, status has changed to In Transit. If they leave the plant by rail they all start off under the care of Kansas City Southern De Mexico. The specific railcar is going to vary, for instance @eastern refugee yours is in a KCS railcar while @JosephG53 yours is in a BNSF railcar. No idea if they are on the same train at this point

Wow did not realize that different rail companies may be involved.

These systems are really for dealers not retail customers so the shipping and tracking won't be like you'd find on a retail site like Amazon. Though they're better than some retail sites I've recently used. LOL

To find whether your MME has been built, just go to Ford Vehicle Tracking and put in your VIN. If the "Production" field has a date rather than a week it's been built. Alternatively you can use Ford Tracker and look in the Production field.

helpful. Thanks. But I haven’t been provided a VIN that I am aware of. Only have an order number.

You should be able to get the VIN number from the dealer once it has a scheduled production date

Somewhere around here is a link to extract your VIN. Happy Hunting.

Pulling a random VIN for a Bronco Sport that is heading to New York it goes:
Ferrocarril Mexicano from Hermosillo to the US, then with Union Pacific up through Illinois where it switches to Norfolk Southern up to New England where it gets offloaded and trucked to the dealer.

The logistics of shipping is crazy in good times

Mine was built 12/16 and now showing shipped 12/31.
