9/19 week Build Group

[jeffvick2005]

My own car is out there in the CA/NV desert. The ETA is pushed out to this Friday so the 4-hour driving distance might end up taking 3 days or more.

Thanks for the update and good luck! It is painstaking as it crawls along - but at least some movement is satisfying. It's starting to get frustrating that my car is 5 minutes away from me right now. I don't know what "Hold Released" means - when it still says "Load" and may still be on the railcar!

Actually the last update was from over a day ago. It hasn't made it to Yermo yet, which is likely the next check point. We often see trains parked on the track while driving to Las Vegas, so it's not all too surprising it's taking a while for the last leg of the journey.

@csilvest any update from the Vinview?

I've gotten one update yesterday and one today, but they are identical to the one I got on Monday - literally word for word the same with no location or changes to ETA or status. Weird...The details for all 3 are:
Intelligent ETA to Dealer: 11/26/2022 05:00AM
Update: Rail Estimate Arrival (ETAD)
Event Time: 11/7/2022 01:00PM

Maybe a glitch in the system masked an actual update...it looks like from your latest screenshot that something happened ("Hold Released"). Haven't heard from my dealer yet though.

I read it somewhere else that if you don't take ownership after certain period, the dealer can sell it to someone else. Hopefully that is not what's happening here.

Yikes. Thanks for the heads up. My dealer has been pretty straightforward, but I just left a voicemail and sent an email to be safe.

I remember the train was released, then returned to hold status. Now it's released again with delayed ETA. It's last updated a couple of hours ago but same as yesterday.

How odd that there is still an “estimated time of arrival” for tomorrow when it’s sitting at the Roper rail yard. I picture a bunch of rail cars that were dumped off by the train just sitting on some side tracks waiting to be unloaded.

Still waiting for delivery to Houston.
Ford Chat said my railcar number is BNSF302259. Currently in Argentine, KS on 6M

Estimate shifted from Nov 3-8 to Nov 20-26. I'm sure it will arrive when I'm on vacation for Thanksgiving, FML.

I put in my order on Dec 6th, 11 months ago.

Same Same. but delivery destination California (last update 9/27 ramp 6R)

Good morning...this is the status this morning.

As always, thanks for the info. Any idea what a 1 minute train trip might mean?

I think the Mach E wears all the colors well, but this looks f'n clean. Love it.

My car arrived to Rolla - which is probably a 20 minute drive to my dealership - but it’s going to take two more weeks for it to be transported from there to my dealer per my dealer today. Lol. This process really is bonkers!!!
