Just talked to the dealer and mine and another one came in last night, going to look it over later can’t take it home but maybe my wife can set in it she has been driving me crazy ?
Congrats! Nice to see them finally starting to roll in.

I just had a geography lesson while looking at this, and my eyes have been opened about my car actually being in Shreveport (where they said the rail car is/was):

My car is likely headed to Chicago, then Ft Wayne, Indiana. Then by road to Indianapolis.

Did your car arrive earlier than the estimate? I wonder if the Ford system simply sends an automated e-mail once the delivery time frame hits... rather than when it actually arrives at the dealer (how does Ford know about trucking status?).

Yes it arrived early by 1 day. It was scheduled to arrive from 6/18 to 6/24. It arrived 6/17. I received no message from Ford. The dealer called me. But the Ford tracker just today indicated it was delivered.

Is the Ford tracking link working for anyone? Hasn't worked for me for a couple of weeks now.

Ya, I've had no luck with it the past couple days. NBD for me since its pretty useless after the car ships, but it does not seem to be just you.

I'll run by my dealer today to see if it's sitting there, but the website still shows "Shipped" with a new estimated delivery window of 6/27-7/3. My original window was 6/16 - 6/26 since it's being delivered to a dealer in KC. Not that it matters, I guess. They can't deliver it to me until after the recall.

Mine estimated delivery window was 6/20 - 6/26 and it came in late on the 19th, so you may me close. Went and looked at it yesterday and got to sit in it but could not drive it bummer.

My delivery date got moved up a few days but the dealer says there is a recall on the car. When it arrives, I'd like him to re-confirm through various Ford systems.

Uh… I’m confused. I just got an email from Ford stating it’s my time to complete the purchase with a link to a “checkout.”

I thought once the vehicle is shipped and that all further activity is done through the dealer. However, when I follow through the link it looks like a checkout for the entire vehicle purchase. I fully welcome this but I wasn’t expecting this.

Perhaps I should contact the dealer first?

Edit: Here is what I see when I log into Ford.com now for my order:

Edit 2:
I don’t even know if my car is at the dealer yet. Heck, what happened to the recall/stop-sale???

@jr4, this map looks like the one CP put together to convince the Surface Transportation Board to allow its acquisition of KCS…and market its nonstop Mexico-Canada service.

Your vehicle will most likely transfer to a different railroad carrier into Indianapolis much closer to your dealer location. This is why it’ll take your vehicle and mine longer to destination, even when we are closer distance-wise to KCS than others.

KCS will maintain visibility of the location of the rail car, so they can advise you on where it’s at even if they are not the ones moving it.

Practically any logistics professional with proper access to railroad or 3rd party tracking services can track and trace ‘system’ cars, i.e., ones owned by class 1 railroad carriers like KCS.

Yeah, it occurred to me recently that my location is a disadvantage. The only upside is that they wouldn't let me have it anyway.

That what I got the day mine arrived at the dealer, I filled south I could and to see different payment options but I would still have to go to the dealer to finish the process. Went to the dealer to see it but could not drive it.
Excited that our car arrived at the dealer (Philly suburbs) over 2 weeks before ETA, but getting an email like this is just cruel ?
