The Build Week 1/24/2021 Club

It was 2/10, ETA of 3/28.

This is interesting. Our "Ship Date" was 2/17 and it showed up as delivered to MUNCIE on Saturday, 3/6. So either our train passed yours, or this is evidence that the ship date is the date it was loaded onto a railcar and not the actual day the train left for the US. Then when the one long train then arrives in KS, it then takes several days to move the cars to the various next train yards for the next leg of their journey (which makes sense). Would be interesting to know the time frame between train departures (it is at least 7 days based on this info). Our ETA end date is 3/29.

No rhyme or reason to it, I guess. I shipped 2/16, but I have the same ETA as both of you.
Mine is currently sitting in KC.

Mine was on the same railcar as Plutoman's was and his moved yesterday and mine showed as moved today so I would think yours will show progress soon.

Since mine was on stop ship, it is also possible that they arrive in KC without updates and sit for the QC checks and then move again after the check. It adds kind of blackhole of timing that is unaccounted for.

Exactly, this. I have compared mine to others, and they never seem to really "add up." Cause here's mine in comparison to what you guys have. I have a shipped date the next day on 2/17, but my ETA is 3/16. So, mine was shipped after all of these, but I'm ahead on ETA by at least 12 days. As a matter of fact, in the My Account area of the Ford web site, where I can select My Reservations and Orders, it actually gives me an, "Estimated Delivery 3/9/2021 - 3/15/2021."

Then on top of all of that, Palsapp has yet to say anything other than Pending.

Alabama proximity probably has more to do with it...

That's what I'm assuming as well, but that still seems like a big difference when I have seen others that seem to be as close I am with longer ETA's as well.

Actually, I had mentioned the surprise on my quick ETA either earlier in this thread, or on another, and someone replied that they thought it was probably due to the fact that mine would be travelling by truck the rest of the way, and that would be quicker.

I wonder if that is also why Palsapp is not updating for me. If it's going straight to a truck, rather than another rail line, does that mean Palsapp may not update?

In your specific case, it's probably because you don't require a 2nd train ride to get from KC to AL. It will likely truck there, which shortens the timeframe by like 2 weeks.

Do you have any idea or a guess iif this means that Palsapp will probably not show anything other than Pending for me?

Palsapp may be used for you for the final leg to the dealership, at which case it will say "Delivered" on there. However, I'm not sure. Just a guess - we do know that palsapp refers to the trucking company which typically moves the cars between trains.

Well, looks like I'm caught up to you guys after all. I was delighted to see this today:

Looks like it's finally on the way. Estimate <2 weeks until it's at the dealer now.

I was shocked just now to find an update on palsapp as well but mine was accidently sent to Argentina! Just kidding, I know that Argentine is one of the terminals in Kansas City.

Any guesses as to time to get a new Freight Bill routing it to Portland, OR? Do all California Route Ones get first priority shipping?

I am assuming there is no work done in PDX like cars coming from Japan, right?

Not sure why it is important to obscure my VIN, but I see others doing it and don't want to have to sign up for CarTitleLock.com. Probably a hacker can etch their computer screen with acid and get the VIN to show again.

These are the ramblings of a man driven insane waiting for an IB Mach E 4x.

My car is slowly making progress, but I see that some of you 1/24's have speed ahead of a 1/17'er.

• 1/12 - Sticker date.
• 1/17 - My order scheduled build week.
• 1/30 - In production date.
• 2/3 - Ford pass activate button showed up.
• 2/9 - Email from Ford saying built and ETA of 3/23 - 3/29.
• 2/10 - Tracker ship date.
• 2/11 - Email from Ford saying shipped and ETA still 3/23 - 3/29.
• 3/3 - Email from Ford about delay and 250kWh complimentary charging.
• 3/5 - Manufacturer Recall Number: 21S09
• 3/8 - Palsapp transfer from Kansas City to BIRMINGHAM, MO.

(3/9 NHTSA Recall Status: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available)

Don't feel bad. I'm a 1/10'er and my ETA of 4/2 is later than most of what I've seen reported in this thread.

 

[Rotting Piñata]

Mine (built 2/2, shipped 2/16) has been delivered to Birmingham (3/8)! Next stop, Delaware, and then back in the opposite direction to VA. If it gets here in the next two weeks, I can take it on my Passover trip to NJ. Otherwise, old boring car will have to do.

May 10. You mainlanders are amateurs at slow delivery compared to those of us in Hawaii and the EU.
