BANG! 213 MME‘s unloaded.

WOW! I know about 6 Forum users that are in this group. Looks like the Florida / Georgia Ford dealers are getting a bunch of MME’s for inventory.

Maybe if you haven’t received your MME and are a few weeks (or months) out, you should check out dealer inventory in the next week.

Old Fashioned, you are quite the detective lol. I don't know how to track this last section (probably by truck) but it shouldn't be too long now.

Being in Atlanta, the timing works well to coincide with the tail end of the pollen season so hopefully won't have to need a car wash

My Premium is on that same rail car. Or was? I assume that the c a r from Mexico to KC? It arrived in Internati, MO on 4/13. Except near as I can tell that's not a real place so it must mean International Arrivals.

Sounds like we were roommates up from Mexico?

I'm waiting for delivery in Southern CA but no activity since the 13th. Delivery window shows 4/19 to 4/25 but if it takes a week by rail from KC to SoCal, then Truck to Dealer, then prep, April seems unlikely.

My CR1 arrived in International, MO on the 13th also. It has about 200 miles to go. ETA was at 13-19, changed to 26. ?

Too bad FMC thinks they are 2021 models!!!

I saw that. Unfortunately, I’m guessing there are a few 2021s in this batch. I did see people have been receiving their 2021 models in April. At least, we were moved to a 2022 model.

I also thought, ‘geez, moving 213 MME’s out of the port is gonna slow our chances of getting our ponies with the trucking issues’.

Oh well, we are getting closer everyday.

I’m right there with you…..
Called Ford yesterday and was told my ETA was changed to the 26th also ?

No 4/20 for me.

Have you been getting notiications all along. My last email from Ford was the Built email on 3/2 then a couple days later I got a simiar one to the above and moved date to May 21-25 then Ford .com said 4/6-4/12

The only thing I am conifdent of is that Ford has ZERO handle on logistics. Guess they left that chip out that would be able to track our cars anywhere they are.

My last email from Ford was on March 9 saying my vehicle was built. No emails since then even though I know the vehicle is 50 miles from my house sitting at the Port of Jacksonville.

If @Craigeddy111 hasn’t taken this name, I think I’ll name my pony ‘Cricket’?

Go ahead. I've already decided that mine is "The Orange Mobile" ?

Been getting updates anytime my order changes status or a delay is updated. My CR1 is still "Pending" at Kansas City so I figured this was coming.

This is just a guess on my part but I believe “Ford” probably set up a special shipment by ship for a bunch of SE vehicles. That took them out of the normal shipping and automated updating process. I believe that is why it seems everyone down south on that ship are not receiving updates. Thus Ford tracking and the VVR are not accurate. The sales manager does get a report separate from VVR which always had a date different from the VVR which, in my case, turned out to be 100% accurate. Also it took one week to get my car shipped from Anchorage to Fairbanks - just had to wait for a truck. With the large drop off in Florida I think it will just take a bit to shuffle all the vehicles. You also probably will not se a trucking update prior to it also arriving at the dealer. You all are almost there!!!

No idea. I’m not aware of another system that would show more than what I can see in the VVR. Unless the dealer is tapped into the truck shipping company or just guessing when your vehicle would arrive based on prior experience.

Just checked in the Ford and Kansas City Southern. Ford did not know much. They still had the car as sitting in Laredo, Texas. KCS guy was very helpful. He said the railcar is held up in Fisher, LA outside of Shreveport which is their big site for changing railcars. It was in Robstown, TX 3 days ago. It is now held up in Fisher due to congestion in Shreveport and trying to get a crew to take the car. Once it gets through Shreveport, he said it should be smoother sailing to Kansas City. Thought I would give an update in case anyone else is on the same Railcar.

Railcar. KCS008305

How are you contacting KCS for the details? I have the railcar (AOK501900) but no luck accessing info through CSX.
