04/04/22 Build Week Chat

I’m stuck at Richards Gebaur. They got us just sitting twiddling our thumbs!

But I guess we’re better than most, the 4/11 build group is stuck ‘in production’.

Yeah, it seems like their week got hosed. I don't know what changed from one week to the next. It's sad. ?

Not a fan of reqbin. This is all I get. Bunch of nothing.

My car is also still at Ramp 6 R in MO. Estimated delivery is May13-19. Dont think it is going to make it on time, but will be pleasantly surprised if it does. It is going from MO to VA. Getting charger installed on May 12. This 350 dollar a month fuel bill is getting old.

@FrostyICE its the same for me! I was wondering why I had 7 weeks ETA initially but now I know, takes into consideration vehicle sitting in a lot for give or take a week.

Day 10 at Argentine ramp is underway! I can’t wait until I never feel the desire to refresh an order tracking website again. lol

Uuugh, I need a new hobby. I think I'll get on the riding lawnmower and cut the grass b4 the rain comes. ?

Then maybe I'll take my GSD's for a swim.

Does anyone know if it's worth it to keep checking ordertrack.app for updates now that I have a Delivered status? Or are my next steps essentially:

1. Check in with Ford Chat every so often for a railcar number
2. Track railcar via carrier system until it gets to my city
3. Wait for a call from dealership

Yep, ordertrack is useless at this point until it is delivered to your dealer. What you listed should work for most folks, except if you get delivered to Argentine Ramp (BNSF) in Kansas City, a lot of folks seem to not be able to get tracking information as BNSF does not have a straightforward system for tracking like the other railroads. Since you are taking Norfolk Southern, it's not going to be an issue for you.

Besides the above, check whether United Road delivers to your dealer. There is a discussion I started here on this thread which talks about the details-- https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/3-14-22-build-week-gang.13889/page-107#post-403420

Seems to mainly be a thing for northeast folks. But would give you a heads up on final delivery to dealer as it can sit in the receiving railyard for a few days or even weeks.

Or #4 have a beer (it's 5:00 somewhere) and try and forget.

Lol, JK ?‍ or how about calling/emailing ur dealer contact. Mine has been nice other than unknowlegeable.

For most people, after OrderTrack shows Delivered status, OrderTrack no longer becomes that helpful. At this point it is usually in the hands of a different Rail company (depending on destination) and online tracking capabilities are limited. 1,2,3 above are correct, with the addition that the dealer usually also has the ability to provide the Railcar from Visibility Report.

So this popped up just now. Want to get excited but I’ve been let down before.

Mine has been sitting at this status for weeks: Even though Ford Chat says Ramp 6R in MO.
