Well my car is at the Ramp in Miami as of 4:28am - Now to watch it in UnitedRoad - my understanding is once it is offloaded it will go to Pending Pickup in their system.
Getting close YEAH!!!!

Good to hear @PL281

My car came in Friday morning, but I can't pick it up until Tuesday. The wait was killing me, so we took a ride to our dealer to see if we could see it. Look what we found.

I wish the NS tracking system was easier to understand. All I know is that my cross country trip is back in, made it to somewhere in Ohio (no idea where) this time, without returning to KC. Think it may actually be on its way. I just wish I knew which way it was going, I hope it's not going through Buffalo, I'm sure all that snow is going to slow things down. I can see it getting to Newark right around Thanksgiving or soon after. My dealer says it doesn't take too long to get from Newark to them, so I think my delivery date is likely on track. I make it lucky and get it a day or two early.

I just hope the system updates and I can understand the next location.

@chimpster23 Actually it departed Goshen, IN at 5:59 AM today - I checked this morning when I was checking mine

@PL281 where you tracking through the rail phone line or the open road website you mentioned. I still can’t get the email box section on my mobile btw. Any updates you have as of today?
good luck on the charger install!

That was via the NSC telephone number I got that for the railcar

So, I’ve seen some of our friends talk about being stuck in Richards-Gebaur hell.
What I haven‘t seen, yet is being stuck in Jack Cooper hell.
Last update was that my car was released by KCS to Jack Cooper transport on November 10. Silence since then.

My dealer thinks that mine, and several others’ Mach-E’s, were taken to the Argentine rail yard and just didn’t get scanned while they wait for either:

a) Rail cars and/or a train to get them back in motion to their final destinations.
b) Workers to load them onto rail cars and/or a train that’s already there waiting.

My ETA to Birmingham, AL has been November 27-30. A couple of FC reps said November 24-30, but I don’t see that happening.

At this point, I’m watching and tracking movement like a hawk because it’s fun/frustrating and I’m excited. I’m also watching because I need to plan my flight to Birmingham to pick her up!

Can you please tell me what program this image was taken from? My dealer only sends me screenshots of much more limited information without any location tracking.

@gryphon
That is the VinView program - it is Ford's updated delivery tracking system - dealers had to specifically update / upgrade for it - and from reading on the forum not all dealers have.

Okay, that’s what I thought it was, thank you.

gotcha, I am beyond lost why it would still be on that Trian though. It had multiple scans and stops in IL and then also in Indiana where it could have been transferred.
Moreover, it makes no sense why folks on the same state / county are already delivered.
I can't put my finger on this logistical process perhaps mine is just "unique" or the dealer is trying to allocate with other shipments at the same time to cut costs?
FC says there's been no update since 11/17

I guess sometime knowing nothing is better than knowing partially, as I feel like they don't tell the whole story to us.

So now on Kimball, OH which looks to be between Cleveland and Toledo, makes a North route through Buffalo possible, but also could go south through Akron into Pittsburgh, but at least it's moving in the right direction.

Just saw there's a potential trains strike that could start December 5th, at the earliest, but could be the 9th, so I really hope it's been offloaded before then.

So my charger is installed - It is the JuiceBox 40 - since it is done via the power company, they've done an "overlay" so I don't need to use the juiceboxapp - and it is auto set for off peak charging (Weekends 10am - 6pm and 10pm-6am)

Biggest issue installer ran into was getting the conduit into the wall for the wires - then while he was working on it, the building inspector came out and said just use romex cable which didn't need conduit - the junction box is about 8 inches below my panel and the charger is right next to it

 

[chimpster23]

@PL281 it's interesting to see that yours is actual placement described by the NSC TTX tracking. I would have expected to hear the same thing on mine but the rail tracing still shows it going back and forth between IN and MO. And sadly I think I missed the boat on signing up on United road.

Also you have a nice setup that your EP is right in your garage! What is that dangling wire, could it be an "ancient land line phone system"?

 

[PL281]

@chimpster23
1) The "Actual Placement" updated this morning - I just checked it out - apparently "Actual Placement" is when it is placed for unloading etc - vs just at the location

2) I have a parking sensor (traffic light) - so that is from the lights to the sensor as current car doesn't have parking sensors - so I can take that down once I get the MME

 

[KilroyMachE]

Okay so FC told me just now that my car has been "received by a carrier at Ramp 6P" which is slightly different than every other day, because the word carrier is never mentioned. Does this mean anything you think or just wishful/desperate thinking on my part? ?
