Happy build week everyone!!!! Let's see those modules loading. Yeehaw

Star white, Premium, RWD, ER, TX - Batch 5093, 158/299

I order same spec as your , mine is showing STAR WHITE PACKE but your is showing STAR WHITE WITH ICE WHITE APPEARANCE PACKAGE, I did not find an option to select ICE WHITE APPEARANCE PACKAGE , When I ordered , I was under the impression that STAR WHITE PACKAGE COMES WITH ICE WHITE APPEARANCE PACKAGE by default .

Haven’t been able to access since yesterday! Maybe site maintenance/updates!!!

It was an option after choosing the white. I did pay extra for it. It has white on grill, side mirrors, and the pony is white. I think the wheel trim is as well. No worries, yours will be just as awesome.

Thanks for all the links to the sticker websites! I have my sticker and I am also 5184 266/600. It's been 6 long months but I think we are finally getting to the end of the beginning!

Does anyone have a sense on what the current ship times are from MX-KC-beyond? Are we still looking at a multiple-week ship/delivery time once built (at least I remember that is what some people were saying a few months ago)?

For whatever reason, I've never had an issue accessing the Ford tracker (knock on wood)

The other site is a good workaround when the Ford tracker is down: https://ordertrack.app/

My understanding is that it is able to tap into the info within the Ford tracker behind the scenes (even when it is "down"). It also has the advantage of getting at least some of the Pallsapp info loaded which gives you a bit of info on your vehicle status as it passes through Kansas City (see below).

My sense from following other build weeks is that if (BIG IF) everything goes perfectly, cars get shipped within a few days of reaching "built" status. After you get to that status, it's ~ 11 days by train to Kansas City via KCS, where almost all US bound cars go (there are some indications that if your car is bound to Florida you might actually rail to Veracruz first, and then out by ship to Florida-- no idea what the timeline is there). In Kansas City, your vehicle gets taken off the train (picked and bayed) by Jack Cooper Trucking. The next step depends on your location. If you are relatively close to Kansas City, Jack Cooper will deliver all the way to your dealer by truck. (These people are lucky-- they are really the only folks who could potentially see their cars come in under a month after build, I'd guess). Otherwise (and this is most of us), Jack Cooper simply delivers your car to another nearby rail terminal (CSX, NS, UP or BNSF depending on location) for further transit. Your vehicle could be stuck in Kansas City from anywhere from a few days to over a month depending on truck capacity/rail capacity/luck, etc. The rest of the journey is even more unpredictable and tracking really depends entirely on how much time you have on your hands/ how much you want to bug your dealer for details in the Vehicle Visibility Report. Other threads have a lot more info on that. Many people share their experiences of delivery times on this forum and it's an incredibly wide range even when comparing identical destinations.

My window sticker was updated today (6 days after it was initially generated-- new date on bottom of the page). Still has Park Assist and don't believe anything else changed.

I don't think a window sticker update typically means anything-- other build week threads report it is automatically regenerated every 6-7 days-- at least while a vehicle is under production.

Houston we have modules!!!!!! Woo hoo. Agh, between me being so excited and autocorrect, I can barely type.?

@NJ_MachE ur next if u don't already have it.

I will download tomorrow to see if I have them all, but I'm guessing yes. Or at least when I wake up I'll have them all. Omg...who can sleep in a time like this. Eeeek but I have to. Night?

Congrats! Nothing yet on my side, but so glad this build week is finally moving!

I think the trick is not to actually download the data, but just copy/paste it into Excel or Google Sheets and count the number of rows (excluding headers)

Yep yep. That's what I meant. We dont have that many batches this week and they don't seem to be large, so I would hope we are all gonna get through at a good pace. ?

NJ, Did u order a premium as well? Just wondering how the batches are done etc.

I just wish there was a camera on the assembly line?

980 modules for me so far (premium ER RWD)

Yaaaa awesome! I got 980 as well. I think we need 1006 though. So hopefully they will finish this am ?‍ and not put us off to the side to wait for remaining modules.

Still no modules for me as of this morning. But I'm guessing they weren't able to finish our batch last night (I have a higher sequence number, if they do them in order) and hopefully I'll see movement by the end of the day. I have a RWD Select w/ Comfort Tech so they clearly mix trims within a batch-- maybe there are smaller groupings of vehicles within a batch because I imagine you don't want to switch trims with every car on the line?

If you guys are both RWD ER Premiums, you are probably good! Although cars have been known to go on chip hold even if the module counts seem to be where they should be. @Pidg133 put together a thread where you can check on what other folks have reported for module counts: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/number-of-modules-for-each-trim-options.15586/ Since my trim doesn't have any data yet I won't have anybody to compare to, but I'll submit the number to that thread when I have it.

 

[NJ_MachE]

Line is back up this morning because I now have modules! 962 of them for the RWD Select w/ Comfort/Tech.

Hopefully they are close to kicking off Batch 5119
