Chat did tell me that my delivery estimate is 11/7 rather than the typical range they give me of 11/1-11/7. Maybe that means it's actually scheduled on an upcoming train?

I don’t think that means anything. They always just tell me the last date of the range.

@BluePony - My MME is shipped and waiting at MO as of 10/24.

I am in South East PA. After the car reached MO, when and how did you get confirmation that car is moving towards DE? Did it come by train or truck, and who was the carrier?

Call your dealer and see if they can pull up the real time location of your mach-e

Just checked with my dealer and they still don't have access to the new VINView tracking system. He didn't even know about it. But he did told me my car is in Miami and they're expecting it at the dealer (30 miles away) in the next week or so (which would be slightly ahead of Ford's ETA nov 5th-11th) wohooo

You have to use the online chat or call Ford, or your dealership. Ask for the railcar number. They can pull it up via VVR.

Once you have that, you can call the Norfolk Southern number 800-635-5768, press 2 and then 2 again. It'll prompt for the rail car number.

If you are in the Philly area, the car will go from MO to Wilmington DE. Get off loaded from the rail car and wait for a truck transport to the dealer.

Attached is a sample of what the dealer and ford chat can see.

What I found rather nice, was that my pony got a ride on Norfolk Southern, whose logo also features a horse.

dealer sent the price sheet, no mark up, A- plan was included. the loan rate is kind of high so I get BOA loan, which is 4.14% , so ready to go tomorrow .
