It's great to see so many positioned, ready for truck delivery. Sorry some of you are still (maybe) stuck at KC rail yard. Hopefully only a few more days now to get you moving.

On a side note, I'm soliciting trade-in offers for my MY21. Highest bid so far is $57,130 which I'm about to take and run! Have a few more offers coming in today so we'll see where it tops out.

This is for a 21 MME Premium RWD ER Space White with Gray Interior.

So I've been soooo sad cause I was lost in the Houston railyard. I keep checking order track and I'm still in Kansas. Then I get this pic and text. I'm not crying, you are?

I'm kind of jalous. Didn't get that you ordered an Ice White Edition...

Has anyone from our build week used the "Complete Purchase" checkout process from Ford? If so, how did it go? Is it worth it when the time comes?

Yes. Husband's idea. Meet Storm Trooper. I'm jealous cause you will get a beautiful car and you live in Switzerland. Now THAT'S a beautiful place. traveled there one time. Loved it. And Zermatt is stunning!!!

STORMTROOPER! ??

Okay so I’m just gonna vent a little.
Car delivered to dealer on Saturday.
Dealerships closed on Sundays due to Colorado law.
Reached out to my sales rep, who tells me my car hasn’t even been checked in yet because they got like 60 cars over the weekend.
Then he says it has to charge overnight.
I wanted to pick up today or tomorrow morning but the rep is only there 12-9pm and he’s off on Wednesdays.
I have schedule conflicts in the afternoons and the dealership is an hour away from me.

Okay I’ll shut up now. Hope I can get it on Thursday.

Sorry if it was post earlier, my MME GT already in KC from my dealer, but it said suppose to be ship to the dealer this week. I haven't heard anything from the dealer yet and I want to see where is the car is located. Is there a site that I can find out?

Something of an unexpected update (to be expected ? in this process).

My train was unloaded in Walkertown, NC (did not continue to CLT on a train or make it to Greensboro -- made it outside of Winston Salem) and placed on a truck, this morning around 1 am. APB Transport LLC (North Carolina Transport Company) for you NC people who may be interested.

Walkertown is a quick (1.5 hour) drive to CLT, but with the trucker shortage, we will see if it makes it today down 77. At this point maybe I should just go pick it up myself ??

That's great news! My dealer told me it might take few days to get it trucked to their lot and assured me he will wait until i get back Friday. Curious how you found out trucking company handling yours? Ford tracker still list it as shipped.

The dealer. They said they should receive the car by Friday.

...But I have received multiple points of conflicting information from all three sources involved today.

Ford Chat said it was in Winston-Salem (as of this morning, and still in the rail car. Which is odd, because NorthFolk Southern reported it was in a neighboring town, but whatever...they are close?).

Northfolk Southern's automated line still stated it was in Walkertown most of the day (last update was the 1am update). The automated line is now confused and has seemed to have lost the rail-car --- I called it tonight after 7pm. With three wildly different updates.

1. Once it said it was in Miami?
2. Once it said it was on a Ramp in Walkertown
3. Now, there is no longer tracking information on it at all.

SO I am assuming the Mach-E has been placed on SOME truck between Winston-Salem and CLT today and is making its way here and now Northfolk tracking is obsolete. I will check in with Ford Chat again tomorrow morning. My dealer said they will give me a call and email if it shows up though.

....we are in the end game and its more anxious than the prior 8 months. Lol. It's at least in the state now and relatively close by.

Edit: called the northfolk line again this morning. The railcar was updated to 'RMTY' in Walkertown last night around the time I called (7:45pm) . Maybe this is why it was so confused.

According to @rolltide , “RMTY” means (i.e. “Released Empty”) status. Possibly they were unloading the rail cars all day yesterday.
