How long can we expect Mach-E GT to be in production, before it moves to transport?

My current dates:
build date 8/9
marked built 9/11 (after chip hold)
shipped 9/14
ETA 10/26-10/31

From what I've read here, the MEX train ride takes exactly 2 wks, and then the vehicle starts showing up in palsapp etc. The ETAs given in the Ford Tracker are clearly very pessimistic and give 6+ weeks for transport, although the tracker also says it would take 39 days (which also seems long to get to Bay Area).

My GTPE in Cyber Orange production week was 8/9 (ETA set to my dealer in Sunnyvale CA for 10/5) -- switched to built 9/11 online (and ETA to my dealer in Sunnyvale set to range of 10/26 to 10/31).

Ford emailed me when the car went into production, and again when it was "built". The second "built" email included the VIN, although you can get this yourself just before your car goes into production.

My car hasn't shipped yet, although I hope this will be soon so I can start tracking it on palsapp and that United tracking one that might help me understand how long it will take to get to my dealer.
What is the link to the united tracking?

I have a grabber BLUE GT on order and the shop.ford site shows build date as 09/15, and ship date as 09/20, transit date as 38 days and delivery between 10/29 - 11/04, to my de alership at Walnut Creek CA. nothing on palsapp yet. Do CA deliveries get shipped to Kansas and then to Norcal?

That's what I've read here... I think everything goes from Mexico to Kansas City before going elsewhere. Apparently the dealer can see exactly where the car is and even the train car number, and has a more precise understanding of when it will arrive. Customers don't have access to this vehicle visibility report.

My dealer isn't nice enough to tell me any of this info, I think it makes them feel better that they are maintaining the power and information imbalance with me honestly.

Your vehicle is In Transit or on its way to your dealership. Transit times vary from an average of 12 - 28 days based on your location and the plant where the vehicle was built. This is a great time to explore "Ford Accessories" to see how you can personalize your vehicle. They said between 10/24-30 for delivery.

Also, saw on Reddit a train with Mach-e on it wrecked on Mo. around 8/14 or so.

GT-PE Build Week: 10/4/21 (postponed twice to this week)
"productionDate": 10/9/21
"shipmentDate": 10/14/21
"transitDate": 37
"etaStartDate": 11/23/21
"etaEndDate": 11/29/21

So, 5 days in production (if we can count the start of the build week as the first day of production), 5 days later its status gets changed to "In Transit."

We took delivery on 10/9/2021 exactly 6 months to the day that we ordered it.
