That’s what I was told ?

You are living on the edge!

I reluctantly filled up again on Sunday after the Mach-E did not moving all weekend last weekend in regards to shipping. ?

This fill-up should last me two weeks, at least. I'm going to work, home, grocery store, and that's it. I refuse to put in another tank. Between this and my tags expiring, I am REALLY needing the Mach-E to come in during its estimated time frame.

Edit: Arrived in Portsmouth, OH this afternoon around 5pm. However @mattwhoo , it appears your Mach-E left a couple of hours before mine arrived (around 3pm), after waiting there for a few days? I don't understand this shipping at all. Fingers crossed I'm not waiting there for 3-4 days ?

We are in the same train. Mine will be delivered to Raleigh NC. It was a dealer ordered Mach E Select AWD with Comfort Tech package. Trying to gauge timing as I'll be work traveling Tuesday to Thursday next week. Hoping for Friday delivery.

And the one I ordered 1/5 just got scheduled for production week of 6/27. So I'll see how it progresses and what to do with it.

Nice to see another NC person! What's your estimated delivery date?

Likewise been following forum since November last year when decided to order one. Hope you get yours to save yourself headache of renewal taxes and inspection!!
Ford chat tells me 5/23 but dealer gave me a window of 5/17 to 5/23. Hoping for next week Friday/Saturday pick up.

I have the same window! Must be the window for the train to arrive in this area

So the most recent update on this crazy journey… turns out my rail car was trackable all along. Railcar # UCRY002063 (Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co ) as supplied by ford actually had too many 0’s. Another forum member with BNSF figured it out and let me know when you actually just tracked UCRY2063 it showed it arrived in Richmond california on Monday and was unloaded last night around 5pm local time. So as of today it’s been unloaded and released about 20 miles from the dealership, I’m finally feeling confident this journey is getting close to ending! Solar install tomorrow and hopefully car isn’t far behind! ?

I also just found out my Mach-E also has made it to Richmond, California ramp 84, waiting to be trucked to my dealership. ?

Fingers crossed is NorCal folks can take delivery soon!

So finally able to trace mine, onboard Grande Texas and heading to Europe soon, first some last stop on east coast of US.

1003 MME onboard for Europe this time.

My railcar made it to Buffalo, NY at 2 AM with the status "Notification Ground Only" which as far as I can tell means it is waiting to be moved to the area of the yard where the vehicles can be unloaded. Now the wait for a truck begins.

Is there a way to check United Road status without an OVISS account? How do you go about getting an OVISS account?

So the dealer just texted me this morning looks like my car got there today. They said they would have it ready Monday but im closing on my house soon so i will be getting it on Thursday.

If only your train would have waited for mine and @ 2 mach e ! Only a couple hours and we would have been there!

We are still in Portsmouth, OH in "intermediate arrival" whatever that means -- since yesterday around 5pm. If your experience is any indicator, we will be there for a few days before heading to NC. But it appears it's less than a day's trip from Portsmouth, OH to NC (your train left around 3 pm yesterday from Portsmouth, OH).

So we may not leave until the 16th to make the 17th arrival date? Pure speculation based off of chaos theory.

Which is crazy to think about, because we have been in Ohio most of the week.

Charger installed. But no car yet to hook it up to.

Awesome! For United Road, I documented what worked for me in creating an OVISS account here:
https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/3-14-22-build-week-gang.13889/page-107#post-403445

If you can't get it working, you can PM your VIN to me and I can look it up, but there's no reason to do that until after your rail car is unloaded and/or released empty. I wouldn't be able to get the full picture of your dealer (backlog of vehicles, where they are coming from, etc.) because United Road only allows you to choose one dealer to track per account, but I would still be able to lookup your specific vehicle based on VIN-- whether it is pending pickup/scheduled for delivery to dealer.

So glad I checked in on the status with Ford Chat! Apparently the car is now in SoCal! I am sure a million steps still have to occur between where it is now and the final SoCal dealership destination but just curious, has anyone beaten their estimated delivery date? Cautiously optimistic here!

I used the delivery receipt option: https://www.unitedroad.com/delivery-receipt

Didn't give me much info. Just the load # and destination, which is the dealership. Not sure if there is any way to track the load # at all. Last I checked my Mach-e was still on the train about an hour drive from the dealership.
