Ford Chat says I am at Ramp 6P. Still no railcar info yet though.

I need to be more patient. Will try to hold back from checking with FC again until Monday. Wish me luck.

Just got my status switched to final preparations! Anything I should be aware of or know before actually picking up my mach-e?

That's great news. And given you are in Wisconsin, I have to think it is also good news for us in the Chicago area!

A few thoughts on what to have going in:

--Find out what paperwork / IDs the dealer wants you to have for whatever financing/leasing path you plan to take
--Speaking of financing, if you plan to get a loan, find out ahead of time what the rates from Ford will be like AND maybe get pre-approval from the open market as a backup plan too
--Know the math before you go, so you know what costs will be there and what is correct for those costs
--If you are doing a trade-in, make sure you get it valued by CarMax and/or a brand-matched dealer before going in, so you have a backup plan and armament for any negotiations.
--Also for a trade-in, de-program everything in the car before you trade it in
--And of course, make sure you do a good physical inspection of the car for any damage, before you drive it off the lot

Good luck!

My order is still waiting for pickup at Laredo, TX. expected delivery 12/2 -12/8 as per ford chat. No rail car information still.

It's in Argentine, KS now. They are not sharing any railcar information though.

I made it through Laredo, TX and its moving through Victoria, TX now enroute to Kansas City. VinView has an estimated arrival of 12/9. Lets see if that holds. Dealer has promised me an update next Wednesday before Thanksgiving. @ranjithkalluri it will be interesting to see if yours gets on a train headed this way before mine makes it to KC. Curious how long it takes to get from TX to KC via rail. Then, from KC to Seattle I assume remains via rail.

So I love the Google sheet tracking idea, but it looks like a few of the delivery windows were missed already unfortunately.

After being in Kanas for over a week I finally got an update this evening with the CP Railway railcar number.

I called the automated tracking phone line right away out of excitement. The result was... odd....

The automated tracking system reported that the railcar I was tracking is currently in BC as of Nov 15th. It can't already be here that fast... right? I am going to try it again tomorrow and over the weekend to see if there's any change.

Wonder if the other Canadian folks got any updates with their vehicles?

Only one has missed, and that estimate was from back before that person's car was in production. So I think it has changed.

I do find it odd that the two Wisconsin people seem to have gotten much sooner delivery estimates than everyone else.

 

[Scc18603]

So I got another update.
Mine was moved to Kansas City via convoy.
So Train out of ME to TX
Train From TX to MO
Train MO to MO
Now convoy to Kansas City
The car has moved once a week in MO to three different locations.

I thought it might be helpful to do a little scoreboard watching with our deliveries. So I went through this thread, found all the users that I think were in the 10/24 build week, and created a spreadsheet to track the basics - username, date "Built", what state they are in for delivery, estimated delivery window, and actual delivery date to dealer.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS SO I CAN UPDATE IT - as you can see I don't have built dates or estimated deliveries for some of you. Also a final note - I put the Canadians in a separate section of the sheet. Not because I have anything against those crazy Canucks, but because I figure the delivery pacing is probably not a fair comparison between US and Canadian orders.

Anyway, here it is (embedded from Google Sheets), currently sorted by Built Date and then State:

Estimated arrival date for me is 11/28-12/3, ETA on VinView is 11/29 so far.

EDIT: Just asked Ford chat since my salesman is off today, it's updated to 11/24 delivery now!

Just did Ford chat and received this:
I have located the order in the In Transit status. Last location shows Ramp 6R, Richards-Gebaur, MO as the ETA for the start of the order traveling to your dealer isn't until Nov-22-2022. I also see an ETA of Nov-28-2022 for delivery to your dealer.

So fingers crossed, I will have it soon.

Ya-hoo! Ford Chat says my MME was delivered to my dealer in St. Louis this morning at 9:30am...but no word for the dealer.

I texted my salesperson at 4:00pm and he said he "just got it serviced". I asked when I could pick it up but no reply yet ?
