Still ASN on OrderTrack. A couple of days ago Ford Chat had no additional information beyond the Laredo, TX ping.

My MIL backed into my G70 in my driveway, so now I get to run around and try to get that damage fixed at a shop before my MME arrives and I have to trade it in. I already got it appraised. Uggggghhhhh

Alright! OrderTrack is showing my GT has made it to Kansas City. One step closer!

Still in ramp purgatory in KC (internati) for the moment here.

Just got a Email from the dealer and said the car arrived at the junction point in Kansas City.

GTPE status on ordertrack updated to Delivered. I believe this means it has been delivered to the next rail yard for the train ride west. I’m hoping this bodes well for an early delivery.

I also changed from picked to delivered this morning, with the destination listed as Kansas City. Hopefully we are on a train west! What was your estimated delivery? In Bay Area I was told 5/19 to 5/25.

I’m in Orange County and estimate is 5/23-5/29.

Congrats! See you were picked earlier than most of us.

Still waiting over here in the dreaded "Internati, MO". No update on ordertrack.app

I went to picked this morning too, I truly think there is absolutely zero rhyme or reason as to how things progress from start to finish on this whole process.

My vehicle updated to "Delivered" to the Norfolk Southern railyard in KC on Tuesday. I've been checking Ford chat daily since then and finally today their system has a railcar # for me to track. I used the info from this post to call the NS railcar tracing robot to get the railcar status: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...-a-rail-car-norfolk-southern.3001/#post-98380 Contact info for other rail companies (BNSF, UP and CSX) will differ.

Apparently my Mach-E is already most of the way across Missouri as it starts the trip east. It will be interesting to see whether my May 3-9 estimate is still doable. I think even if everything goes perfectly from here it will be really close. Best of luck to all those in various stages of traversing Kansas City. I hope we start seeing some deliveries in our build week soon!

Funny little thing I noticed: even though Mexico to Kansas City and Kansas City to New Jersey are operated by different companies (KCS and NS) my railcar for both trips has had the mark 'AOK'. I'm guessing AOK is just a company that leases out a lot of railcars to the big players!

Hey "Build Family"
As we're getting closer to delivery, does anyone have a good checklist of "Must Know" items so we are prepared when the cars arrive?

For me, I've been looking at:
1) Home charging setup (I'm assuming this gets set up in the FordPass app)
1A) Trying to decide how frequently to charge at home, and to what level (90% I think)
2) PAAK Yes or no?
3) Car wash do's and don'ts (I'm freaking out a little about people reporting their charge port doors popping open in car washes now).
4) Must-have accessories? My car wasn't ordered with the interior protection package, so I purchased a set of WeatherTech mats
5) Tow point diagram for glove box & 12V jump point access

What else can you think of?
