Hmmm, my dealer only knows as much as is shown on the Mach E website. Looks like I need to just be patient and wait for the call that it has arrived at the dealer. Lol.

 

Truck was built 10 days ago, still hasn’t shipped!!! I’m getting restless. I want my dually!!!

 

Pumped, got the sticker.

 

Ford.com shows "scheduled for production" & Mach-E tracker shows "in order processing". The spreadsheet I have checked (undisclosed # of times) is even more current than the consumer Ford tracker and displays "in production". Personally never having more than a 1/2 ton, my dealer has so far advised me a day ahead each phase and dealt with numerous emails (maybe a few changes: model from 350 to 450 and Antimatter Blue to Rapid Red to Atlas Blue so I am lucky, but extremely grateful for this forum and spreadsheet Phoenixfla!

 

Here's a trick for those of you like me who are calling the CSX railcar tracking phone number frequently:

If you save the right string of numbers, pauses, and # signs as a contact on your phone, you can automate the entire input process so you don't have to type or say anything.

First, put one or two pauses between each part of the process. On most phones, entering a "pause" gets represented as a comma in the string.

Second, for the part where you need to enter the letters for the railcar initials, use a series of two-digit numbers where the first digit is the keypad number with the letter you want and the second digit indicates if you want the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th letter for that keypad number. For example, the letter "T" would be 81 and the letter "X" would be 92. After the last number, enter a # sign.

Third, for the part where you need to enter the railcar numbers, enter a # sign after the numbers.

Last, for the part where they ask you to say "Done", enter two ## signs.

Put that all together and you'll get a contact phone number which looks like this: (800)235-2352,1,81814192#,983148#,##

Now each call to track my truck from Louisville to Seattle is much easier!

 

Once a truck has been scheduled for production/in order processing can any changes be made to the build? I asked my dealer and they said no but curious if any others ran across this?

 

Just got word from CybermanD over on BOF that my truck has a build day of 9/7! I haven’t gotten an email from Ford with the day yet, only the week of 9/6. Hopefully it’ll be here soon!

 

Hey Pheonixfla!
A sincere thanks for putting together the spreadsheet!

Now that your truck has been delivered I’m sure there are many who are eagerly anticipating your report and photos!!

 

I just checked with my dealer and I’ve got a build day of 9/12. I think we’ll see the email from Ford, and some changes on our tracking info sometime on Monday or Tuesday.

 

Has anyone had success on some sort of order tracking prior to VIN? Any data sources out there?

As in, I see some generic orders as DealerRetail7 etc... So those are tracking not say distinctly tagged to an individual.

 

It's a no. Sometimes they can make minor changes if they try hard.

 

Yours is likely on the same train car as mine. For some reason my 3 trucks had wildly different estimated deliveries.

Shipped 8/8 delivered to dealer Wednesday
Shipped 8/10 estimated 9/8-9/14
Shipped 8/14 estimated 9/11-9/17

All three said transit days: 16

 

Negative, once in prod it is a done deal.

 

I have been tracking my truck via the CSX tracker. A couple hours ago it arrived at Fort Madison, IA. I had found a webcam for that rail station and was able to watch the train with my truck roll through using the time stamp given on the call. Pretty cool...

 

Mine keeps getting pushed back, maybe a Monday or Tuesday build. On the positive side, my fender flares, airbags and sliding fifth wheel hitch have all come in! hahaha
