9/12/22 Build Week Chat

[JamieLV]

Not Happy ???. Received update today, delivery pushed 5 weeks to the right!!!!! Of course, no explanation from Dealership!!!’ ?????

I was trying to narrow down why those of us who got pushed 5 weeks (after sitting in Kansas for 3 weeks) had in common. Color? Location? Build Group? We have none of those in common. When I asked for insight from my dealer he told me they only get updated once a week so he'd let me know if he had an answer for me on Thursday. I'm not holding my breath.

(ordered 12/7/21, Day 309 of "the wait", batch 8071-built 9/13) Day 4 of Ford's delivery ETA to California (day 24 of "shipped") and last reported location of my MME order was two weeks ago in Missouri.

I think mine arrived last night, but my salesdude (tm) is sick, so I don't have a pick up date.

Absolutely pitiful and frustrating to no end!!

I tracked mine again using the Norfolk Southern tracking system (Thanks RedDragon!) and it's in my state! NS said "

• COER900623 notification ground only Walkertown NC 10/4/22 4:30 AM

That NS station is an Auto transfer station (as it says on the handy dandy NS map), so I'm thinking my car is getting off the train and onto a truck headed for the dealership. That's only about an hour away from me, so hopefully I'll be hearing from the dealer that it's arrived in the next few days!

Getting really excited now!

I am happy to report that I took delivery of this beautiful vehicle from the dealer on Monday evening. I have to say this was the most uneventful new car purchase I have ever made! I completed the financing paperwork online (it was SUPER easy), and the only hiccup was discovering that you can't use the Ford Options financing in North Carolina. Apparently, we're one of the few states where Ford Options is not offered??

The best part was the financing through the Ford website showed me the rate and terms, so I knew before I went to the dealer exactly what my term and payments would be. When we got to the dealer, the wife and I test drove it, and signed the papers. Of course, they tried to put some add-ons in there (some kind of paint protection, extended warranty, gap insurance, etc), but they were told no to all the extras.

Drove away with the car looking beautiful and with the exact deal I had arranged online with Ford. Couldn't have been happier with the purchase experience, except of course the long wait! Ordered 2/15/22, took delivery 10/2/22.

Good luck to everyone, hope you'll be in your Mach-E's soon as well!

My car is 2 hours away in Montreal. Just awaiting shipping on truck to final destination in Ottawa. Bad news, I go away for a work trip for two weeks on Sunday. Hopefully I get it before I leave, but not looking likely given the shipping delays from Montreal.

I just got the dreaded extension of the Ford delivery ETA. I discovered the 26-day extension by logging onto my Ford.com account. There has been no such info on Ford tracking or from any notification, yet. That would make it an even ELEVEN MONTHS between order and delivery for this MME premium AWD ER red order from California. (ordered 12/7/21, scheduled 7/19/22, built 9/13/22, stuck in Kansas City vicinity since 9/27, batch 8071, "new" delivery ETA 11/4/22 to 11/10/22.) If actually delivered on 11/4/22, that would be 332 days (~48 weeks, 11 months) after ordering. That's 50 days (7 weeks) in "shipped" status alone.

This is becoming the sexiest thread on the forum right now

I finally got some info (not much) from my dealer. I believe the car is still in Muncie, KS, (ramp UC) with a railcar number. I got lost with the companies, anyone know how to track from Union Pacific railroad?
My ETA is Oct20-26 but with your latests posts with deliveried delays and my car still in KS I am worried...

Follow prompts for "trace"
Say rail car number

 

[yersie]

Thanks minders. I called but the system doesn't find my railcar # ?. If I said doesn't understand me, if I write the number only doesn't find it. So frustrating

Wow, it looks great! I have the exact configuration, including color, ordered on 2/18 sitting in the KC rail yard as of this afternoon. Mine shipped on 9/26 and is heading to a dealer in Apex. Your (rather) quick delivery gives me hope.
