9/12/22 Build Week Chat

[Bigfeets]

I am really sorry to hear that there are no news, I don't understand what is going on. I am really happy with mine, worth it!

Thank you for your sentiment. My edit passed your message in the ether. I too don't know why this MME spent two months in Richards-Gebaur, MO. At last, it's moving and now I'll try the dealer again for VIN View update on this leg.

edit: dealer said he'd check status when he returned next week. I also tried UP tracking but it seems registration is required so I gave up on that. I'm now hoping the MME I ordered will make it to the last ramp the day before the threatened rail strike.

Glad to hear that it's finally on the move! I'll know more next week on mine. Looks like I'm the last man standing!

I am so glad to hear that your car is finally getting out of KC!!

At the same time it is still frustrating to know that you had to go through all this dead silent for so long.

Any news for those waiting? I hope you get your MME soon!

Just picked mine up today - 359 days. Once it left 6R everything moved pretty quickly.

No registration needed but no update other than it set out on the 24th - which you already knew. Scheduled to arrive (at your destination railyard) on the 2nd. Hopefully starting tomorrow you will start getting information - but if I remember correctly it will just be which railyard it left that day.

You don't need to be registrated with UP to get some updates if you have the railcar number. Call 1-800-877-5123, you have 2 options, follow the prompts for trace and give your rail #, if it doesn't work wait for a rep, they give you limited info but the can tell you where is it at the moment and the estimated ETA. Good luck!

I have not been here in a few weeks as I have been frustrated with the waiting game. Checked in and saw some new movement from my fellow build-week buddies, so I pinged Ford chat. Apparently my MME departed Muncie at 4:43am today (11/27) and should be in California on 12/2. There is hope once again!

Glad I did not activate / establish WiFi hotspot with AT&T when the car was built. The three month free trial would be expiring in a few days. Before the car has been delivered.

Thanks

I misremembered. It just tells you it departed, but not from where. So your train departed somewhere today - movement...Okay, I'm going to stop being the crazy stalker of your train now.

May the Ford be with you.

In the 9/19 build week group we were fortunate that one of the mwmbers’s wife had access to UP rail info so he kept us up to date with all the rail stop arrivals and departures. It seemed to take about a week, but then it sat a week at the destination rail yard. Hope ya’ll beat the strike.

Well good friggin morning! I awoke to my 3rd delay today! Ordered 11/30/21
Built 9/12/22 shipped 9/15/22 and has been sitting in the rail yard ever since!
First delivery window was 10/30 to 11/5, first delay was 11/30 to 12/5 and now 12/20 to 12/27. UNACCEPTABLE! My dealer is doing nothing to help. If anyone knows of any dealers with a Mach e premium or gt on their lot willing to sell at mrsp let me know! I’m an airline pilot and can travel anywhere to pick it up. I am so done with this. Who knows what’s wrong with a car that has just sat for 3 months!
F you, Ford!

For those of you that have received your cars - have you got any updates yet? I still havent recieved the youtube update, etc - was just curious if others are getting them.
