The Build Week 1/24/2021 Club

[NoMoShocks]

Does it make any sense that just first weekday after I got the Ford e-mail saying my car was built that is is now In Transit? The Ford email gave me an anticipated delivery date of 3/25 to 3/31, but I would sure like it to come sooner as some have been experiencing. Maybe when it comes to transit times, Ford is embracing the principle of under promise, over deliver.

Yes. It doesn’t usually take long to ship once you get the email because they don’t send the email until the status actually changes. Some go to “awaiting shipment” for a few days, and some skip that and go right to “in transit”. It probably depends on the train schedule.

Just got email this morning (2/16) that my car has shipped and should arrive in Lakeland 3/21 - 3/27. Build completed on 2/4.

Likewise. Got mine. Exactly 8 days after the production date as predicted.
Scheduled build date: 1/24/21
Actual build date: 2/8/21
Awaiting shipment: 2/16/21
ETA delivery: 3/30/21 (betting this will be closer to mid March)

Yep, be prepared to take delivery before ETA delivery date as many folks on this site have done.

Same here but ETA of March 31 (36 days to OH). Doubtful it’s going to take that long.

We will likely be riding the same train from Mexico, and maybe for the second leg, too

Don't leave mine behind! It's also coming to PA, but wasn't built until 2/11... lol

Hop on! Your Mach-E's gonna have to run as the train leaves the station xD
You will probably be on the same train as well and I bet they go out Friday or so.
Since you're really close to me, we might have identical delivery dates.

What parts of PA are you both in?

I assume your palsapp.com info says New Castle DE like mine does? Mine gets delivered to PA but I assume it goes to Delaware by train then trucks to PA.

Mine was shipped on the 10th so should be to KC by the 24th. My info says delivered by March 29 but I will not be surprised if it gets deliver the 1st week or mostly likely the 2nd week of March. If it happens to truck from KC then maybe end of Feb but I think it will rail to DE first which will cost a week or more.

Edit: being delivered to Chambersburg, PA

I think both of us are in Southeast PA.

So my build week is supposed to be 2/14 (pushed back from 1/24), but this morning the tracker showed for about an hour a production date of 2/15 and the activate vehicle is visible on FordPass. Weird.

Yep! Probably all going the same way. It seems like they've bundled the PA ones together, though yours is gonna be a week earlier.
Yeah, they will unload at New Castle, DE, and then truck up to PA from there.

Congrats! Yours is alive. Expect to get the shipping email by next Wednesday.
