9/12/22 Build Week Chat

[rushunter]

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.

It is a beauty for sure... we love it. Keep the faith, shipping time for us was pretty quick. From KC, it should transfer to Norfolk Southern. You can then call Ford and get the NS car number, and track it via telephone using the instructions in the earlier thread.

Since you're in Apex, it will probably go to Roanoke VA, then transfer to Walkertown, NC (by Winston-Salem), where it will then be transported to the dealer by truck. The process took about a week for me once it was in KC.

Good luck, hope your delivery does smoothly as well. You'll love it! Just be aware Ford Options is not available to those of us in NC.

For all you SoCal and people on the way to-


Ford Chat, customer service, and Dealer all show that my arrival window of Oct 10-16th should be accurate. *shocker it's not* Last update before today was on Oct 5th having arrived in Muncie.

Finally got an update today and the car dispatched via UP at 6 this morning - train is set to arrive in Mira Loma on Oct 19th.

I know theres a lot of those in California who have been left in the dark so hopefully this applies to some of you!

Built 09/04
Shipped 09/16
Arrived in Muncie at 2 am 10/05

Dealer is in Irvine, CA.

Final leg!

Still no update per Ford chat for me. It at least left Argentine, KS back on 10/6 in the afternoon, so I know it's on the way. Estimated arrival per Ford is 10/17 - 10/23. I feel like if it left KS a week ago, it still has a chance of making the arrival window

Last update. I was able to talk to a rep in union pacific. She said the railcar is set to depart from North Platte, NB tonight. Does it make sense? Maybe there is hope after all!

Not really sure the typical eta from argentine. But Muncie to Mira is 5/6 days. I bet yours will be there right in that window. Prob any day now!

Bet it is! They definitely needed enough cars to get moving. Guess is that’s why some are sitting for so long.

Thanks for the attempt to be encouraging. Ford, not so much.... Today, Day-5 of my delivery ETA, I found that my delivery ETA had been pushed out another 26 days (built 9/13, shipped 9/15. Last update was-. sitting KC vicinity since 9/27.)

Your MME just has to age to perfection in KC before moving onto the next leg

I bet you’ll see it sooner than the 26 days! They don’t have much rhyme or reason it seems but have my fingers crossed for you!

Did you try to the chat again after that? I don't understand why being already in KC will take that long. Maybe didn't update but it is already in the train with some of us?

Checked with chat this morning (10/14 11:15PDT):

I am so sorry to hear that. It is so bad they don't give information on why it is delayed. Hopefully it will come before. Hang in there!
