9/26/22 Build Week Chat

From this to THIS in less than one week. What an upgrade! ?

Both my orders arrived on the same week despite the order date being a month apart between them. And after 4 long days (the White one took me 3 days) of dealing with sales reps and finance manager that have little to no idea of Ford Options or how to properly put that plan on the contract, they’re finally both here.

The incentives from when I placed the order came extra handy given how interest rates are now. The GT I was able to get 1.40% APR for 48 months and 7,500 miles (40% residual on last payment). That’s an absolute deal given how little EVs depreciate. The Premium was 2.49% APR same 48 months, same 7,500 miles with 39% residual. Both came with $1,000 cash bonus.

Good luck to everyone! Hope you get yours very soon!

Love the color contrast, Enjoy!

Finally got around to posting this. Delivered Thursday afternoon after waiting since Jan 15th. Dealer didn't know it was coming that day until it showed up. Anyways, absolutely love it. So much fun to drive! D plan and Ford options accepted, delaer was amazing.

Welcome fellow space white owner. That color is amazing.

OMG OMG OMG!
Ford chat just told me (as of yesterday) my car is at the rail yard in Las Vegas awaiting convoy to my dealer (27 miles away)! Dare I get excited now?!

Im in SoCal too. Built 9/30. My original ETA was 11/1 but got moved to 12/3. Last Monday, the last location was 6R. I wouldn't doubt we're on the same route/railcar. I think there's something up with these California deliveries that nobody is admitting to. Big bummer.

We picked up our Premium yesterday:

That is little bit more than kindablue! ?

Yup. Kind of Blue refers to the iconic Miles Davis song. I've been a jazz fan for many, many years now.

I used a glass specific clay bar on the glass just now and you'd be surprised how much dirt come up in the bar even after one has cleaned the glass thoroughly. It's going in for full frontal ppf and ceramic pro this coming Friday.

This just came through from VINView. Any idea what “Vehicle Location Update (X3)”means? Obviously it will not arrive tomorrow if it’s still at Richards-gibaur.

Hey fellow 9/26 build week folks. My Mach E is destined for Colorado with an original delivery date of 11/1-11/7, but recently updated to 12/10. It supposedly left Ramp 6M from Argentine, KS on the 10/28, but I have not received an update since. It’s shipping via Norfolk Southern Rail, I believe. I’m signed up for VinView updates, but nothing has come through since.
Anyone else have a car destined to Colorado come through ramp 6M? I’m hoping to get some additional information on how much longer I’m in for, potentially. Thanks!

So glad it was worth the wait, Andrew!

First day of the delivery window! Reached out to my dealer, they said the status "hasn't updated recently", but that " I have seen this before without updating for a few weeks and it will update showing arrived at the rail yard outside of Phoenix".
@Still waiting AZ - any movement on yours from El Mirage?

Actually, I was just sitting down to look at my computer and got your notification. I got my "delivered" message from ford first. I called my dealer a few hours ago and my salespersons wasn't as enthusiastic as I was. She's like oh yea one of my coworkers said some mache's came in today. Like wtf wouldn't you go look? Anyway after calling them she's like well we only have 1 tech on today so likely tomorrow. Well I can't arrange work on a "likley" so my pickup is set for wednesday morning. It's the day my trade in offer expires so just making it. FYI It sat for 10 days in El Mirage. Apparently they're super backed up. Good luck my friend!

She’s finally here after 8 months!! Dealership let me use X Plan but wasn’t set up for Ford Options, which was frustrating. Got the 2.49% rate from my order date without issue though. ?

info: Ramp 6M is the BNSF Argentine yard, Muncie KS. It seems very unlikely that an MME destined for Colorado would travel by Norfolk Southern RR which goes east from KC. (Lots of east coast deliveries do involve trucking the units from 6R to 6M for the NS ride, but Colorado deliveries would be by UP or BNSF.) Sorry, I'm not a 9/26 build week fellow. My MME was built 9/13 and has been stuck at 6R for 51 days waiting for a ride to California. Or, Ford's tracing update system has completely failed me and it's nearing Mira Loma, CA for the "last mile".

This GIF is the Santa Fe Crossing in Kansas City at the MO/KS border, between the many railyards. Upper autoracks could be empties going back east/south, or Teslas. Lower train is headed west to UP rail yard.

Well that’s certainly concerning! I may have misinterpreted what they said and it may not have actually left via that railroad, it’s possible that it’s still there and was just taken there by that railroad?

Perhaps it’s taken to the end of the line at 6M and then passed off to another rail company?
Edit: I called Norfolk and used the automated system to get my tracking info for railcar WRWK009000. All it says is “Departed on flatcar 10/4 from Georgia”. Really hoping the new 12/10 delivery date is accurate…
