9/12/22 Build Week Chat

[Bronzewing]

Thanks again. I've tried that trace many times, unsuccessfully, but haven't tried to speak with a real person. United Road has no record, yet. Dealer told me they have to manually check on arrivals at Mira Loma, so I'll try that tomorrow.

Bigfeets - I am pretty sure our cars are now offloaded in Mira Loma. I called yesterday and it said it had arrived and I called again today (UP RR) and it said the railcar was empty. We may actually be receiving our cars in the next few days! We just need a truck and a driver to get those cars distributed. So close.

Yes, YES! I want to believe delivery is imminent. Looking back, I wish I had never paid attention to Ford's ETAs or sought explanations. (Made for one of the longest years of my life since Vietnam War.)

9/14 built grabber blue GTPE arrived Richard’s Gebaur AFB 9/27. Departed 11/30 arrived Muncie Kansas 12/1. 3 miles across the Missouri/Kansas Rivers. Departed Muncie 12/2. Arrived Granite City Mo 12/3. 250 miles east of where she sat for 2 months. Hopefully a south turn to south Texas in a few days and ETD of 12/25. If that’s true, only will have taken 3 months to return to my dealer where she passed, not shitting at all, literally across IH 35 on about 9/25. Merry Christmas.

Update.... My dealer just called. IT'S HERE! It just rolled up on a truck. They had no idea it was coming. I'll pick it up on Friday. That being said, we were both surprised that it went from railcar to truck yesterday. I'm pretty sure Bigfeets is imminent! Merry Christmas to all of us holdouts!

I hear you. I wish I could have just put down my $500 bucks and been happily surprised when they call to tell me the car is ready. I have burned far too many calories anxiously waiting. At the same time, this car cost almost 4x the last car I bought and I have been researching EVs for years waiting for the right one to come along.

Anyway, a very, very delayed thank you for your service. Hope you, me and anyone else on this particular chat that are still waiting get their ride get a welcome call in the very near future.

Congratulations Jfire. Enjoy your new ride!

12/6 Dealer emailed that he'd confirmed MME arrival at Mira Loma Intermodal and predicted delivery to dealer in 5 days with another day for prep. He called 3 hours later to tell me that the MME I ordered a year ago was to be dropped off at the dealer this afternoon (12/6/22). The delivery appointment is set for a couple of days from now, although I may have picked it up 12/7/22, exactly 1 year after ordering. (9 months waiting to be built, 3 months "in transit") That's one anniversary I don't want to observe.

Great news! I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed mine.

YAY BigFeets! You had the same experience I did. The last railstop to trucking it to the dealer was the great unknown. Mine showed up and the dealer had no idea it had come in! I'm picking it up tomorrow. Show me yours and I'll show you mine! We're the last holdouts!

Umm, I am still here....waiting. Just waiting on the last 70 miles to the dealer and 20 miles home. I'll make sure to turn the lights off after I post my gotcha pic.

May the Ford be with you.

To all that are still waiting.... It's a quick ride from the KC railyard to your dealer. There's also a good chance it'll just show up at your dealer without their knowledge. Happened to me. Bronxewing's should be close!

Well boys, here she is! Took delivery this morning and my wife hasn't let me drive it yet! So worth the wait! Thanks to everyone here who helped me keep my sanity! Merry Christmas to all!
