Just got the call. My MME is being trucked to my dealer today. Can pick up tomorrow or Friday. Have you heard thing new?

That’s great news!

No, updates from the dealer. My sales person said he will only update me If there is any update to report. Last update from dealer was like a month ago, which was to tell me ETA which I already knew before hand. Tomorrow 4/28 is last day of my original estimate. So it doesn’t look like it’s coming tomorrow for another 2+ weeks.

Let me know how your process go tomorrow with price protection and credit for switch from 2022 from 2021. Not sure if you will be doing options for finance to take advantage of $2000 incentive?

I have been delivered at KC for over a week now. Ford chat along with Ford phone cannot give anymore information. What they will say is that it is in transit from KC. Your best chance of getting specific distributor info would be a VVR from your dealer, and if your dealer knows what shipping company they use.

Essentially what I am trying to say is, you are either Union Pacific and get some more info, or you will have any other company which will not give you any updates. The systems are unfortunately antiquated and not integrated. You'll feel like your car is weirdly missing. As long as you don't have anyone tell you its on a hold and it's in transit, know your car is making its way over to you.

Best of luck! Will keep you posted.

Being in Nashville, my guess is that it will come on CSX.

I've decided to pick up Friday. My sales guy said they are honoring the price protection, I just hope it's off the invoice and not have to wait 2 months for a check. He's already said the $750.00 email will apply. I do plan on going with the option plan. My understanding you can take what the program was offering at order date or delivery date. At my order date the incentive was $2500. and rate of 2.49% better than the current program. I'll let you know how it goes on Friday. Hopefully your date is sooner than later.

I got confirmation yesterday that mine was in Richmond. At the time it wasn't unloaded yet, but it probably is by now.

I'm out of Chico but ordered from Geweke Ford in Yuba City. Who is your dealer? Any word yet on your delivery? It should be any day.

I love Nashville! I have to go back. Only passed through on my way to DFW from New Yawk.

@hack-e Ford.com updated the ETA to 5/3-5/9 today. I swear I am at the end of patience now. What the fuck is the point of an ETA if you’re just going to push it back every time it hits that delivery window? Oh, and it has been changing literally every day this week, from 23-29 to 26-2 and now this.

Trying to be positive here in the midst of this quagmire. At least Ford is communicating with you. My estimated deliver dates are still April 2 to April 8. BTW - that's not a typo. HA.

Good luck to you and hope you get your pony soon!

In between your situations .... estimated delivery shown as April 24-30. Ford chat told me yesterday that estimated delivery is April 30 and the car is in Muncie, KS. I am in southern California and will be thrilled if the vehicle is loaded on Union Pacific equipment by April 30. Then a week on the rails, then in the interminable queue waiting for a truck to haul it the final 35 miles to the dealer.

Yeah I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it has been 47 weeks since I ordered. Gestation period of each of horse, camel, llama and dolphin are around 47 weeks.

Yes. Unfortunately at this point the car has reached the end of what is tracked by palsapp / Jack Cooper. From what I can tell this is the data that ordertrack.app pulls from.

This means you need to track the car using other methods.

The Muncie Kansas (Kansas City) location is the distribution point to domestic train lines.

I think within 48 hours the car should be delivered to the train car that will take it to Nashville.

I recommend tomorrow or the next day using the ford.com chat function and ask for an update. If you call too early you may get incorrect information (from my experience). Or if your dealer can get you a VVR-that works too.

For my car, it uses Union Pacific trains to get it to So Cal. Now that I have the train car info, I am able to get updates for when it will arrive at the off load location.

Good luck! It is getting closer.

Thank you for the help. I did the chat this morning and the car is in Missouri traveling by Jack Cooper. I have a convoy number, but based on your response I guess I won’t be able to track it with them any further.

Dealer called me yesterday at noon that the car arrived! Hustled over and took her home last night. Loving it already. Price Protection, Xplan, and $750 were all honored. No hands-free liftgate functionality, though it is listed on the window sticker and in the manual and setting. I expect a service recall at some point in the future.

Did you get an email with the new ETA?

yes, and it showed up the next day at the dealer

Order Track just updated to delivered to Kansas City, KS. Still has a ways to go before it arrives in WA State.

Does anyone know how long they are staying at the ARGENTINE RAMP in KS?

A week to two weeks is what it took me. By the way, If it's delivered to KC, you will need to be working with your dealer to pull VVRs to find out more info.
