There seems to be a lot of variation in how the dealers approach this. Some seem to want to do all the checking and detailing and charge to 100% and have everything totally ready before they call the customer. Mine called me basically as the car was rolling off the truck in the morning, and when I showed up in the afternoon to do the paperwork, it still had all the plastic and foam and dirt from sitting in railyards.

(but having said that, I got zero proactive communication from them whatsoever in the 8 months since placing my order)

Every dealer and salesperson is different. My 8/22 build week car arrived with no notice and the salesperson is now on vacation for 10+ days. I reached out to the dealership on my own.

The sibling dealership back in June contacted me and provided biweekly updates after the car shipped then applied the HVBJB software recall fix within a day after arrival. Top notch communication that proves dealerships can be valuable. This related dealership is a lot busier and doesn’t care.

Fear not Mike, we just received notification that our vehicle has left Kansas City and is estimated to arrive in the Denver rail yard on Friday morning! Hopefully your vehicle is also on the way.
Did you ever get your ME? Mine is in Kansas now so will be a week or two more for sure.

No, unfortunately we still have not received our vehicle. I checked the tracing with Union Pacific today and according to their automated system the vehicle departed from Kansas this morning.

According to my Ford chat customer service rep my vehicle arrived in Rolla, CO midday today. However, the service rep was giving an ETA of November 3-7 for it to arrive at the dealership. I verified the vehicles arrival with the Union Pacific automated trace. Hopefully your vehicle was on the same train!

Of course the last delivery date window is already done and now...

" Due to unanticipated shipping delays, your 2022 Mustang Mach‑E Select is now expected to arrive at Future Ford of Concord between October 15, 2022 and October 21, 2022. Your dealer will contact you to arrange pickup details as soon as it’s ready for you. "

Mine arrived over the weekend. Almost a full year wait (and yes I did downgrade from a GT PE).

Congrats! Waiting on the exact same car in Walnut Creek. I'm one build week behind you. In the middle of my window, and have a strong feeling it's not coming on time.

Yeah, it seems that there's no rhyme or reason even to how shipping works. Things are definitely flowing more smoothly now than they were 3-4 weeks ago, but it seems like my car mostly sailed through MO, KS, and Richmond, bypassing cars that had been sitting at those places for weeks.

@Stagekraft - Just got an update from Ford chat that my car was shipped from Argentine Ramp 6M and provided a BNSF railcar number. Hoping that yours and the other cars from KS headed to CA have shipped as well..

@LeWe reports theirs is
"moving now from Ramp 6M, Argentine, KS on railcar BNSF railcar TTGX696340 as of October 11.
Last time the railcar took approximately 3 days to reach Ramp 84, Richmond, CA once it departed. However, we may be loaded at different times so it may take a week or two from getting the railcar number. Let's pray for a speedy departure. "
