Looks like mine made it to the Argentine Ramp In Kansas City. Dealer is refusing to provide a CSX rail car number (supposedly at CSX’s request) but verified that it got loaded on to a train on the 11th. Progress.

If you have your VIN you can use the Ford.com Chat to get the railcar number which you can trace. See tracking thread for tracing details.

I know of 2 MME owners in Atlanta that are on this ship. Wouldn't surprise me if there are some SC MMEs on this ship.

Heck, maybe one or two are on the way to Auburn? LOL - had to throw that in, my son went to Auburn

I rarely post but read nonstop. The shipping delays are pushing me over the edge.

I originally ordered 5/12/21. Converted to 2022 like many others. In production 1/6. Built date of 3/5. Got an email that car shipped on 3/26. Order tracker shows car transferred from KC to Birmingham MO on 4/7. Figured my car would be arriving in Ohio any day now. Just got an email from Ford saying estimated delivery will be delayed until 5/13 - 5/19. Unbelievable.

What the heck could be the delay with the vehicle at the railyard in Missouri? Very frustrating. If this estimate holds...will be over a year from order to delivery.

My order was May 17th. My car is currently in Loredo, TX with a delivery date of 5/9 5/15.

I thought that Georgia vehicles were shipped by train. Am I wrong?

Yes, but it's not your fault. The logistics are constantly changing.

What I've learned in this process is there are no rules.. Ford is trying to get these vehicles out anyway they can.. I'm pretty sure I was originally coming by rail per my sticker. In fact my sticker still says 'RAIL' although I'm confirmed on this ship. However once the chip hold got us, they started sending cars offsite everywhere. From there, it turned into a massive project of finding storage sites, truckers, rail cars and ships.

The only certain things are determined MME owners trying to track their cars down through this Forum. Most dealers want to help but are handcuff with the Ford software tools that we are all too familiar with.

I'm pretty sure Ford could hire a few people to handle all of these tracking issues and provide MME owners real answers they desire. This isn't rocket science.

I texted my dealer this morning asking the turnaround time from the Jax port dock to the dealership (50 miles).. He is guessing anywhere from 2 days to 7 days.

He says cars coming from the railyard in Jax takes 2 to 7 days. He says cars coming from the port take the same amount of time, sometimes longer....?

So fellow Alliance Fairfax shipmates, Keep Calm and Carry On..

I have been watching this build date though mine was 1/17. We just got notification from our salesperson that our Mach E has arrived in Blount Island Fl, which is in Jacksonville. I was suppose to have the car April 8-14. So it is the 14th and it is in Fl. Needs to get to Bonita Springs now. I ordered on April 29, 2021 so almost a year and may be a year before we have our hands on it. Good luck to everyone.

Congrats and Enjoy! Hope it was worth the wait!

Mine is in KS now and Ford said it won't be here until end of May,,,10 days short of a year

 

[jfwyant1966]

My eta just changed again. instead of May 9 -15th, it's 4/21 -4/27. That would be sweet, as I return from vacation on 4/21. Hopefully to a new car!

Any idea from your dealer how and when your car will get to you.
Interestly my dealer just texted me trying to sell me a demo first edition. I dont think so. I am sooo close

I cant seem to get a status on United Road. Can someone tell me how to sign up?

 

[MetrowestZ]

I'm now within the delivery window (4/13-4/19) that was/is still in on the Ford app but no word yet from my dealer. My salesperson has been pretty responsive the few times I have checked in so not too stressed (yet) that he hasn't responded. Edit: Now May 7th

I am not sure I understand this. You were the one that talked about the Alliance Fairfax? Have you checked that website for your car with it's vin? https://www.hoeghautoliners.com/my-cargo
If other cars have come to Florida via that ship why are you in KC? Our dealer did not know anything from other than the fact that it had arrived in Jacksonville. Says his info does't go beyond that which I find hard to believe.
