07/25/22 Build week chat

[elmedico27]

Has the ship ETA on the Ford site disappear for anyone? It used to say order status with info on what has been completed. Now that part doesn't show up at all. I had an ETA of Sept. 1-9 but now it says nothing.

It did on mobile, but I still see it on desktop.

My mach e eta status of 8/19 - 8/26 changed to get ready for delivery. Does that mean its in the dealership already?

Did yours change to ship? Was it convoy or rail?

 

[StephsMachE]

Well, after not being able to get in touch with the dealer yesterday, I spoke to Ford chat today and they gave me an estimated delivery date of 8/17 (!!)

Batch 7190, 250/330, so I guess this batch *did* make it on the train and avoided the plant shutdown. ?

I guess I missed there was a plant shutdown. Mine was built on 7/25, but coming via convoy and is still listed as built. No shipping information

I heard back from the Dealer, mine was built 7/29, due to plant shutdown delivery is pushed one week to 8/29-9/04. Getting closer, Yeah!

Yeah, there’s a two week shutdown of the Mexico facility. That said, I haven’t seen what all is entailed with that — i.e. is it just assembly that’s shut down or have they paused all loading/shipping of finished vehicles as well.

Edit: This forum post has the Ford schedule that shows the shutdown.

By Rail. Still on Shipped status.

DOH! yeah I am getting irritated that it is still sitting down there and was built on the first day of the build week.

Pretty sure no. On the reservations page mine added a "Get Ready for Delivery" button the same day the status changed to shipped (7/26 I believe). Something like the below, correct?

 

[Kedarkiran2]

wow.. it just sucks to end up on the last week of build and get the delivery pushed because of the shut down.

My 608/660 7254 was built with a delivery ETA of 9/1 to SoCal according to Ford chat.

In the meantime, is there anything to confirm with my dealer, such as Ford option, X-plan, Smart Vincent and etc?

• We ordered our CR1 in Dec, what should the Ford Option interest rate be? And is there a process for locking the rate?
• Should I enroll in X-plan now in order to get the discount?

Please share if there's a list of things to do before pick-up, in case the dealer decides to play games like: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...utt-with-your-experience-and-knowledge.20299/

I just messaged my salesperson yesterday and asked her to confirm final selling price, how they intend to apply price protection, and what the applicable Ford Options terms are. I'm also contacting my brother for my PIN and insurance agent to get my quote.

I used Ford chat program to find out where my car is. I did find out info but it's not a lot of help. "Shipped Rail - Railcar # KCSM008242 on Ramp 5J, Lecheria Cuap, in EM on 7/27/2022."
Does that mean my car has been sitting in Mexico for a week? Also I'm not sure which rail company that is. I just want to get my MME.

It seems that you get different information depending on which rep you're talking to. It looks like you got much more detailed information than I did. All I was told was that the "last update" was on 7/27 and that it is in "Lecheria, EM" ...

I'm taking it to mean that it's been shipped via rail and the status won't be updated until the next stop and that it's on a train somewhere on the path to delivery and not just sitting at the railyard in Lacheria, EM and hasn't gone anywhere.

With an ETA still over a month out I suppose it doesn't matter ?

Mine was build week 7/18 (built 7/23) and shipped 7/27. My last update is the same. My guess is that they take the auto cars from the plant to this rail station (about 8km in the wrong direction) and then have a train take them up once they have a large enough batch or a passing train with capacity and the right company.

I’m hoping once it starts moving it the right direction it goes quick. It was really disappointing thinking my car had been traveling for 100+ hours to only find out it had moved 8km in the wrong direction in all that time.

 

[KSpen]

At least yours have shipped. Mine was build 7/25 and no shipping status yet.
