Hi, I bought one Mach E earlier this year, not as knowledgeable as I am now. I have another coming soon, my delivery date was updated to 9/1-9/7. I found I have x plan pricing through work. Are there any other incentives to ask for? Is there still the Ford Options plan? I find the Ford site difficult to even find the current APR for financing. Thanks y'all!

Just chatted today and looks like the car is now in Richards-gebaur, MO. So it’s moved on from Loredo finally. ETA still showing 8/29-9/4

Well that's a good sign, especially since we have the same ETA. That is the AFB it arrives at in KC. From there is should go to Muncie Ramp and then on its way to CA. Seems like it might be going via train and not convoy. Interesting.

Lets hope is isn't stuck in MO to long and gets on a train asap. Keep me posted on yours, seems like we are on the same schedule.

I as well will keep ya posted on anything I find out.

@SaultShaker Did you get you car delivered yet? I am very close to your location and wanted to know how long approximately it takes to get the car from the time it ships.

My car is now officially on a train after being in KC for a week. It’s Norfolk Southern COER900635. It appears to be stopped in St. Louis since yesterday though. Monday is the last day of my delivery window but Ford hasn’t changed it yet.

Aww - my estimated date of arrival has changed from 8/24-30 to 9/5-11

@KSpen lets hope they hit the road this weekend and start the trek to CA

Yup I'll be checking with chat again tomorrow hoping the ETA doesn't get pushed again.

Nothing on the trucking track site for me. So sad it progressed so well only to stop in Jacksonville and wait for a truck for 3 weeks

Welp, my ETA week expired yesterday. Ford chat said the last update they have was that it was in KC on the 26th. Dealer didn't have any more info than that. Reservation page still shows 8/23-8/29 ETA. More waiting!

 

[Xadion]

Yup sad stall times all over

Only in a rush to get in before trades go lower.

Chat said sept 11 and its stuck in j-ville

Dealer called me today to update me with info I have that the range is sept 5 to 13 or whatever the reservations page has. Atleast they remember I exist

My ETA has been rock solid since day 1 but I'm getting second hand anxiety about it because of all the fluctuations in other people's ETAs ?

Annoyed. My car has arrived in Salt Lake, but the delivery date slipped to 9/19... How does it take three weeks to get it from a rail yard 20 minutes away?

I am thinking that most places are waiting for truck for the last mile (not litterally last mile, just last step in the process to dealer).

I just checked on rail car number and it has gone away from Jacksonville, so I am going to assume that it is off the rail and sitting in line to be picked up by truck. So the delay seems to be trucking not the processing of rail cars / unloading rail etc.

Current location according to chat is ramp location in Richards-gebaur, MO with no number info yet.

Last week it was at Internati, MO.

So is carrier info for rail or convoy the last step?

I think others who are in CA have indicated there is a train issue in Barstow CA. and I think cars bound for CA are taken by convoy from KC (where Richards-gebaur, MO) is.

My situation is different - mach-e going to MI - ford chat:
On 8/26 --- your vehicle's current location is Ramp 6R, Richards-gebaur, MO. -- Convoy # 1362600621 (Jack Cooper Transport).
On 8/27 --- Ramp 6P, Kansas City Mc, MO
On 8/30 --- Aug-27-2022, 12:19 CT, I show the vehicle was located on Ramp 6U, Muncie, KS. - Railcar # COER900726 (Norfolk Southern Corp ).

I then called NS and via automated system it reported 5:30(AM?) it was in Indiana.

Don't know if chat had a issue when looking up my car - or if a convoy (truck) was required to transfer from KS rail yard in Ramp 6R, Richards-gebaur, MO to NS rail yard Ramp 6U, Muncie, KS.

Seems they like Ramp 6 with different letters ;-)

I still have an estimated arrival time at the dealer from 9/14 to 9/20 - earlier I had an single estimated date of 9/6. from Chat.
