9/26/22 Build Week Chat

[manikin]

Well ford chat just gave me this info.
Railcar # AOK 501576 (Norfolk Southern Corp ).
The vehicle is located in Ramp 6U, Muncie, KS.
The ETA shows Dec 25-Dec 31, 2022.

How can I track AOK 501576 now?

I'm in NC, so still has a long way to go. Needs to get here before 1 Jan so I can get full
tax credit. If not, then not sure I will get it. I mean it will already be a year-old car with people getting 2023 already.

I am 100% in the same situation as far as the need for delivery prior to year end. Also in NC.

Ford chat provided me the following tonight:
Railcar # COER900548 (Norfolk Southern Corp )
The vehicle is located in Ramp 6U, in Muncie, KS.
The ETA shows Dec 03-09, 2022.

Fingers crossed this remains the case and arrives prior to any strike.

Delivered and Received! Dark Matter Gray is absolutely beautiful.

It was a seamless and friendly experience at Chapman Ford in Scottsdale, AZ. Our sales reps even spent time pairing our phones and configuring our profiles. Drove it all around town before coming home - what a great driving experience. One pedal driving and Blue Cruise are favorites so far. 238 days from order to delivery. It felt like an eternity while waiting, but I think it was worth it!

So just got a notification in the app that 3.5.2 was successfully installed. Not sure if anyone else has gotten any updates, just wanted to add this data point. I was on the road all week so car was in the airport parking lot. Got home and 10 minutes later got the update notification.

Outside of Charlotte. I checked via automated phone system and got the same info re: OH location. As of a few minutes ago mine is now in WV. Slowly but surely it’s getting closer…

Dashcam setup - Garmin 57 - picked up the international version which is more than $40 cheaper. Used the Donger tech splitter.

Nice clean setup. I think I want to do the same but add rear camera and possibly parking sentry mode. Did you use a different adhesive to attach to plastic shroud?

No just the little metallic tab with adhesive that the Garmin came with. They have 2 in the box. The adhesive is very sticky, and the camera has a magnet, so detaches from the metallic tab if needed. I do that to download the videos on my laptop.
I did not want to have a constant 12V drain due to some of the battery issues people have reported, so did not opt for parking mode which requires an always powered source. I also would have liked to have a rear camera, but have not found anything online that shows a mounting similar to the donger tech adapter for a clean install. That was my #1 criteria, it had to be a neat, and clean install with minimal load on the 12V battery.

I just called around 4:00pm Saturday. Said it was in Roanoke rapids Virginia as of 1:00 am. That's just across the border. Wonder when they will put on a truck?
