5/16/22 Build Week Adventures

[GreaseMonkey]

Ford cracks me up, they update the delivery time and then my car arrived at the dealer today.
@GreaseMonkey ... hoping for the same fate for you

Sure enough, got a call from the dealer a few minutes ago. Ice Blue Baby made a showing today! Thrilled about the news. Too bad I won’t be able to see it till Saturday as I’m on a business trip.

I hope everyone get their cars very soon. It’s been a long and exhausting journey for all of us.

Just talked with Ford Chat and got this answer:

Thank you for your patience! Your vehicle order status for your order currently displays In Transit Shipped Convoy - Convoy # 1362519122 (Jack Cooper Transport ) Ramp 15, Kansas City Asy, MO

I'm so confused. Does this mean it never got on the rail car it was supposed to be on almost a month ago, and it's taking a truck from Kansas instead?

Awesome. glad to hear it. Dealer said they scheduled it for tomorrow to have the software installed - can take between 2 hours and 4 days (ha), and that he'll be out of office tomorrow but in on Thursday and if it's done we can come then.

That works better for me, and the guys been great to me so wouldn't mind buying from him and waiting until he's not out of office.

Did they ever tell you that your car was at Elkhart or did you assume that? That convoy seems like a car hauler to me, which would be good news.

5/23 build week here, but been following this thread as it was my original build week.

I got the same thing about a convoy number from chat about a week ago and today my dealer said it’s in a new rail car but it hasn’t shipped. I think that convoy number might be for a truck to pick it up from the rail car from Mexico, and move it to the ramp where the rail car is that’s headed closest to you. Without access to palsapp though, who knows, so hopefully that’s being trucked to the destination.

I assumed. Guess I made an ASS out of ME

Gosh that would suck. If that's the case there's no way I'm getting my car by the revised ETA of the 21st at latest.

For your sake I hope it’s on a truck headed your way

I can only offer that some of our cars have magically appeared at the dealer.

it's all good.

finally have my frau blücher home. now if I could just program this stupid garage door opener. I tried the learning from the remote but it didn't take. the opener inside is too old to have a learn button on it, my apt building isn't likely to replace it either. can anyone help?

somehow got this programmed to the homelink still couldn't tell you exactly how

For folks with a Sommer Garage Door Opener (rolling code), this is the way to program the Homelink buttons:

I kept trying the methods posted online and none of them were working. This one worked for me.

Found this in other Forum, thought it might help with payment calculations
once you enter the base payment, it will provide you monthly payments for finance, ford options and lease

My car has the same status from last few weeks. Ford chat keeps on giving the same status from 06/21. Today they gave the below status again. Good things is that they are still saying the ETA as 07/19.

"Shipped Rail - Railcar # TTGX706281 (Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co ) Ramp 6M, Argentine, KS Jun-21-2022, 14:38 CT"

Not to be a killjoy, but mine said ETA of 7/10 until 7/12, at which point it changed to 7/21. So don't be like me and get all excited the week of, only to get all cynical and hopeless when it doesn't show up

Mine was 6/20-6/27, then 6/27-7/4 and now 7/11-7/17. I'm hoping it meanders to the dealership by the end of July.
