I checked Friday and was 6P in KC

May have to check Monday hehe

Where is yours headed?

I am in FL west coast

Last person I actually spoke with at Ford told me their systems are updated on Fridays and Mondays so that’s why I reached out today. Mine Is heading to South Florida but I would assume we both have to go to Jax first based on everything I read. 6U is Muncie

My MME was built on 7/18. I contacted Ford Chat today and they said it’s at Ramp 6R. Mine is heading to South Florida too with a window of 8/23-8/29.

I found on another thread that United Road is the convoy company used and I think it picks up in Miami. You can go here to check if your car has a ticket and then sign up with your email to see the details and track when it’s picked up I guess.

Yeah 6R was the first stop for mine. Then went to 6P and then 6U after. I think you’re right on United Road, they pick up at the ramp in miami which is the ramp listed on the window sticker and then distributes to the dealer from there. That’s just what I could gather piecing things together from different threads. Hope we all see our rides soon

Checked the status via the rail car this morning and according Norfolk Southern’s automated line it arrived in St. Louis this morning at 4am. Hopefully you both are on the same train heading to Jax as I think that’s where all Florida bound cars go

I’m in St. Louis, so hopefully mine’s on there too!

I’m still (still!!) listed as “In Production” but an 8/14 arrival in town would seem to align with the 8/17 delivery date that Ford Chat gave me the first time around…. Perhaps there’s good news for us 7190s after all??

I am thinking, that's a hard thing, but that Florida's hub may be jax and Miami as my est is 8 24to30 and I am west coast central while other FL that are south the est is earlier so I assume that is hub xfer time

that would make sense. You may get put on a carrier while I believe ill get another train to south Florida

Who’s going to get their car first from our group? My delivery date is 8/17 -8/24. I could possibly get the car this week or sometime before Christmas….

What information do you have for the rail car? It would make sense that our cars are on the same train since our arrival window is almost identical.

Ford Chat gave me the rail car info when I pushed them for it. Once I had it, I used Norfolk Southern’s automated to get the current location. That info can be found on another thread but I copied it below for you.


NS Norfolk Southern
1. Call 800-635-5768
2. Press 2.
3. Press 2.
4. Enter the letters on the numeric keypad then press #. As in: TTGX will be 8849
5. Enter the numbers then press #. It wasn't taking my voice prompts but typing worked.

Important thing is to only use automated system, if it connects you to a live person. Hang up. That was guidance given by the thread as well.

I put my VIN into the United Road link and got a Load number of 65853545. What does this do for me? My window sticker says rail also. Something not adding up? But it does show Jack Demmer as its final destination which is correct.

Mine is still chillin in Mexico. I hope it's been enjoying the tequila. Maybe it will get on the train this week. Maybe not.

Nothing yet on the United Road for me.

This shows that your on/set up for the "last mile" truck delivery - as rail does not get anyone to their dealer - so everyone gets on a truck at some point. What I do not know is how far out the truck is set up before the rail arrives. As I would be surprised if all FL bound cars are not all on the same rail, as generally things are all filled before they get shipped out in large cargo like rail and boat etc.

My vehicle is Michigan bound. I will not get my hopes up but if feels good to see some new information today.

 

[new to mach-e]

Hi everyone! I have been lurking for a while but finally registered!
I ordered a '22 RWD select base (no options) on 3/8/22 through ford.com and then signed dealer order paperwork on 3/10/22.
I was provided a VIN mid May, then I got a build date of week 7/11, which then got pushed out to the week of 7/25, my car got built 26-27th of July, the day after I got an email saying it was in transit at that ETA at the dealer was 8/17-8/23.
Well this past thursday 8/11 I get an email from ford saying that the mach-e has arrived at the dealer and they are making final prep! I text my sales agent and he says they can't confirm that the vehicle has arrived. Friday goes by and they have no news. Yesterday saturday morning my salesman texts me saying it has arrived! I was out and about very close to the dealer so I stop by and yes indeed it's on their lot, I got so excited!
It wasn't ready for delivery, it was still in transport mode with the plastic locks on the suspension coils to avoid if from jouncing up in down to much in the train but I did get to sit in it and inspect it, spent like an hour in the parking lot just getting to know the car!
Can't wait for delivery next week!

So fellows from build week of 7/25, hang in there!

BTW, I'm in Michigan. My build group is 7172 154/302, space white
