And true to form, Comcast emails always a day late! I have an eta to dealer of 4/26~5/2, and I really doubt its going to make it from Mexico to delaware in 3~10 days unless it shipped long before I received any notice!

Woo Hoo! Great news! Hopefully that is the sound of the logjam breaking for our build week.

Woke up to my shipped email this morning. Delivery window of April 26-May 2nd. I refuse to get my hopes up.

Late last night I noticed the Ford.com link stated shipped and this morning I received a shipped email. Delivery dates updated to 5/2-5/8.

Just checked with my dealership and the VVR shows it has left the ramp in Mexico and on a rail car headed to KC. It might actually be happening.

Great news everyone! finally some real movement. For me its been almost 47 weeks from the day I ordered

Mine has now too SSSSHHHHIIIIIPPPPED!

Last night, both ford sites were still at "built" but ordertrack.app had moved to in-transit. I figured it was some weird glitch but I just got the email confirmation. Now the scenic journey from Mexico to Missouri/Kansas and then back to North-Mexico (San Antonio). ETA April 22-28.

Because Ford seems to be diverging from their normal process to ship some cars (eg shipping to the Southeast by boat), maybe they will actually NOT route mine the whole way up to Missouri/Kansas and just take I35 from Laredo up to San Antonio. Even if they do that, I am probably still looking at May but this is definitely "Ford Country" (the F150's per capita in SA would boggle your mind) so maybe they can quickly fill a whole truck for that Laredo-SA leg. I am more than cool with my Mach-E engaging in some "well-mannered frivolity" with some Broncos, Mavericks, and a case of good Tequila on the journey northward. Here's hoping!

Fingers crossed for the rest of you that haven't shipped yet! Hang in there!

As expected, I received a delay email last night. The other Jan build weeks are seeing a lot of this too. My ETA outer bound moved from 4/28 to 5/23. Apparently LOTS of logistics challenges. Cars completing one leg of the journey then sitting for a long time waiting for rail cars and/or trucks and/or drivers...

Oh come on!

No delay email for me yet but ordertrack and palsapp both show the same info they were showing before I received my shipped email. So the systems are not updating or it hasn't really shipped yet.

As I understand it: If ordertrack is showing "in transit", I wouldn't worry. My understanding is that it won't show anything new until your car gets to KC (typically takes 2 wks?). Once received in KC, it will eventually get a destination. Eventually, ASN will changed to picked then paired (driver/truck/train identified) then it will ship to the next stop (at which point it goes to "delivered", I think).

I haven’t received a delay email, however, my Ford.com reservation page now shows a delivery window of May 7-13. It used to be April 26-May 2. My ordertrack.app still shows the same as it’s always shown, ”in transit with ASN vehicle status.”

Just got the dreaded "Delay email" I was scheduled 4/26~5/2 and is now pushed a month to 5/23~5/29. That will make one year almost to the day I ordered
Well true to form, it will show up eventually but I do have a line on an EV6 at msrp that I may grab in the mean time.

I woke up to my delay email this morning confirming what my Ford.com page said… delayed a week. If true, I can handle that small of a shipping delay.
