9/26/22 Build Week Chat

Does anyone know if you can track the convoy?

You want to try this - From elsewhere in the forum
" It shows slightly more granular information. Go to https://reqbin.com/, enter https://palsapp.com/Search/AnonymousVinStatus/{VIN}, change method from GET to POST."
I get nothing from it.

My MME order was built and shipped the week before this build week (batch 8071, 9 months after ordering). It made it to Kansas City vicinity in 10 days. Sadly, it has now sat for 3 weeks (ramp 6R, Richards-Gebaur, MO) without an update and apparently without moving, waiting for a ride to California. Ford tracking, chat, and dealer are no help at all. Without explanation, the delivery ETA was bumped out 26 days to 11/4 - 11/10.

Lucky me I was able to save the tire on my Explorer, but it appears the tire pressure low indicator is stuck on..

Chatted up Ford.

CSX says my rail car was last seen departing someplace in Texas empty this morning at 1:30am.

Just for info checked modules on the servicecraft site again, and still BCM only. Im thinking MME's don't have PCE modules.

Got an update from Ford chat today. Got a Jack Cooper convoy number and location as of 10/15 is Argentine, KS. That makes sense because that's the location of a big BNSF yard, and there is a "BNSF Ford Rail Yard" just a few miles from me in Portland, OR. Just need to get the car on one more train!

Any one who has been on the fence about buying a L2 charger for home, Tesla is now selling their wall connector with a J1772 plug, its 48A which is the max the MME supports, and it is probably the cheapest smart connected charger on the market. $550. I posted a thread regarding this in the main forum, and reddit r/mache. Reviews are all fairly positive.

I would have probably bought this instead of the chargepoint due to cost, and both being on the utility approved list for an annual rebate.

Yay, car now has a FordPass picture.

It is sleek/svelte. The only downside I see is that it's hard wired. OTOH there's still a 30% fed tax credit for installing an EV charging station and it also avoids any issues dealing with a cheap 14-50 outlet.

Not for me yet.

Probably longer than that... most of us in the 9/19 week are still waiting.

Really? No deliveries yet? I get that some journeys are longer than others, and that west coast shipping is at snail pace currently, but no post of "It is here!!!".

We've had very few, less than 5 have posted (3 people, I think?) they have picked it up. Some of us are further along, but more are waiting than have delivered. Not trying to be the bearer of bad news, but there are even people in weeks before mine that are still waiting.
