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? ?

Did they provide a secondary status or a rail car #?
That's mainly what you want to get from them

Nope not yet, I was just thrilled to see the "delivered to a carrier" line though just because it was different. haha

I went through the same thing.

My car made it to 6M on 11/01 with the last status update on 11/03. I've pretty much hit up chat every other day. Since 11/03, they said it like 500 different ways. It was received, in transit, departed, at, shipped, & etc. Today, they said it left 6M with the last status date of 11/03.

Oh lawdy, I'll just try to keep calm and chat on (with Ford). ?

Well she's finally here! The dealer said there were a few people inquiring about buying the car while it was sitting on the lot. Lol

Finally home, resting with her garage mate.

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.

That is VINView, which your dealer may have access too. I’m told that it’s available to them, but not all use it.

So 1) should be to the dealer today or tomorrow - I figure Friday or Saturday to pick it up
2) I see these photos of folks with decked out garages - mine isn't

3) I may have to switch sides of the garage with my wife - so that she doesn't have to worry about tripping over the charging cable - let this be the worst of my issues

How were you able to identify it's pending pickup and estimate dealership dates?

 

[PL281]

@chimpster23

More than likely it will be on the truck today and it's about 35 minutes to the dealership and the told me they need a day or 2 to prep it

Is anyone charging the car just with their mobile charger and a 240V outlet?

My electrician put in a 50 amp break and a 6/3 wire leading into a 240 nema 16-50. Do I have all i need at this point to charge with just the mobile charger?

 

[PL281]

@chimpster23
I know there are folks who are doing this - the biggest issue is making sure the outlet isn't just one that is used for a dryer or stove as it has been reported the outlet fails over time as it isn't designed for repeated plugin / unplug - Granger is the one that is recommended

 

[chimpster23]

good to know, i don't plan on removing it. if it melts i'll consider a plug in charger unit I was just concerned about having such a high amp breaker (50 amp) to connect to the mobile charger.

Made it to Conway yard, PA so south route and getting closer. Hoping it makes Newark by Monday.

There is a video on You tube by Sandy Munro that speakes to the danger ov overheating the 240 outlet and essentiallly melting the outlet due to extended charging times. I discussed this with my electrician and he told me that the key issue here is that the charging wire be securely attached to the outlet. A torque wrench is recommended to insure that the connection is just right. If so, you won't have any problems. To be extra cautious you can use a higer cost Bakelite outlet for about $100 that is much more resistant to heat, but again a properly connected cable should not overheat the outlet at 32 amps
