I waited on hold and spoke with a live human, who was really nice. She asked, "do you have a new car on that railcar?" and I replied, "yes ma'am I do." She said it would be at transfer point by May 29. Maybe end of 1st week in June or so maybe. Hopefully, Ford was way overestimating with the...
So I called and spoke with someone from NS, TTGX 604536 is in Elkhart, IN with an ETA to Petersburg, VA of May 29. Petersburg is about 100 miles from dealership via 18 Wheeler...so at least my MME is moving eastward. Positive news on a rainy day here in NOVA.
Delay on Rail - new ETA June 21-June 27, FML, I might get this car in July...maybe. This thing has been sitting in KC since May 5. Norfolk Southern TTGX 604536 is still rail car number but stuck since May 20 for some reason. I am with the Force, and the Force is with me.
The full journey so...
Cant wait to actually take delivery of my car. Already have the OBD cable and Forscan, ready to tinker with her. First mod will be to re-enable the hands free lift gate. Thanks for letting us know Connor. Stll no movement on my slow train from MO, unless NS tracing is broken. Wooooooooo
Yeah I feel the same way. When I was in the Military, we put trackers on everything when we shipped it over seas, we could track it 24/7. Anything over a certain amount got a tracker on it. This is also my first Ford as well and I am not impressed, by the logistics capability. Hurry up and wait...
Still no movement on my railcar. Ford Chat at least has the railcar information now. NS says no tracing information available. Reckon it is still in KC MO getting ready to head East. ETA is still June 16-22 to the dealer. Weeeeeeeeeee
FINALLY got a rail car out of the Ford guy on the phone. RailCar - TTGX604536 (Norfolk Southern). Maybe that sucker will roll out of MO today on its way east.
Yeah, I am mystified at this point and uber frustrated. I just cant fathom how Ford can not KNOW exactly where my car is ...what is the plan on how it is going to get to the dealership. They need to learn a few things about logs from UPS and Fedex. I can track a package with them down to the...
Ramp 6U as of May 18 ,2022, so it went from Ramp 6P-Ramp 6U on May 17. It is just moving from Ramp to ramp in MO. This is getting to be ridiculous at this point, it has been in transit for 44 days now with almost a month sitting on various ramps in MO.
I guess if this thing drags on for another week or so I will contact the dealer to see if they can find out anything. The dealership is about 100 miles from where I live, so it is not like I can just swing by after work..haha. Patiently waiting is a virtue right? I think I have met all the Ford...
I don't have a rail car number yet, has been at Ramp 6P since May 5 2022.
I am in NOVA, but the dealership is in Ashland, just north of Richmond. I think I heard the dealership say they come in on trains to Petersburg and then truck from there to Ashland.
I wish there would be a "Happy Accident" and my car somehow miraculously showed up at the dealer here in VA prior to June 16-22. I am happy to see everyone taking delivery of those beautiful looking machines.
