Did something happen to gravity in the future Marty?
Wait...are you telling me that you built a time machine - out of a Mach E?

(I should sell that idea to the studios for a remake).

Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Build Week of Aug. 23rd Group E6052E1A-0E29-4EB7-B6F4-CF3E963C23FE

Finally decided to ask for a VVR on my 8/9 build week GT that originally had a 10/2 ETA. Looks like itā€™s now a Halloween delivery! ? ?
Hopefully ā€œSent Offsiteā€ doesnā€™t mean ā€œout of sight, out of mindā€ when it comes to allocating chipsā€¦

History seems to be repeating. Just like my premium, It is looking like I will be one of the later ones in this group to get my GT despite being a fairly early reservation (Jan2020). I suspect it is because I am not from a big city dealer but who knows.
No change in my chipless car.

I'm not sure that's it - Meridian Idaho isn't a big city either. It may have more to do with order timing (not reservation) or there could be a random element - would not be shocked by that.

Could be random. I ordered April 27th confirmed. I am sure FORD has their reasons. A bit frustrating but it will be forgotten once I get my car.

yup, you should then be shipped already! My Feb 26, 2020 order (4/29) is chipped and shipped 9/18.

Progressing nicely...took only 9 days to get from Mexico City to Kansas City. According to Jack Cooper site, reached the Argentine Ramp today. Up next is Union Pacific to Colorado. I definitely expect delivery before 10/13.

Looks like lots of shipped GTs should arrive in KC over the next couple days.

Palsapp.com is a trucking company that receives the cars from the train that just arrived from Mexico, correct? They move your car to its next destination - that could be another train yard, a boat, or it could be to a delivery truck directly to a dealer if it's local enough to Kansas City.. say like St. Louis? Is that also correct?

If that is true - what does it mean when you input your vin and it populates your local dealership's name but the status is still pending. Does this mean they physically received your car off of the just arrived train form Mexico? It just hasn't been sent on to it's next destination yet?

It means the trucking company has the order to deliver your car directly to the dealership. The pending status means they are still waiting for the car to arrive.

Interesting - it was shipped 9/13, and every since that date I could pull the VIN but all it said was Kansas city, null, lots of blanks, and pending at the end... then suddenly this morning it has my dealership's information populated (still w/ pending). Maybe I got too hopefully it had already arrived at the truck shipping company this morning.

Oh, you might be right! @iwii said their car was picked up in KC and they had the same ship date as you.

It use to take 14 days on the train from Mexico no matter what. Either your shipping date says later than it actually shipped or something else is wrong. The plant didnā€™t get any close, but maybe the train has fewer stops than it use to.
