First vehicle I ordered from factory was a Miata Launch edition. There was zero visibility on the shipping and the only reason I got a heads up on delivery was because someone else who ordered a LE had theirs come in at a local dealer. You think Ford tracking is bad? Try figuring out how long...

In my humble opinion the worst part of the waiting game is the period between when it hits the railyard and when it finally gets delivered to dealer. I base this on my experience with ordering two other cars. I mean the whole process can drive you mad, and my ladies car is the first one that I...

People can certainly opt to cancel and order in August, but I can almost guarantee you will be waiting 5-6 months after for delivery. And that's if you are lucky.

Ha! Indeed. As far as I know or can decipher my ladies ride hit the destination railyard Monday and is likely still sitting there with no real way of knowing when it will be transported to the dealership. I work in the video game industry and view this entire process like a game, where each...

Just speculation on my part, but it appears they have fallen behind schedule in the last few weeks. Ours was invoiced on April 29 and was not built until May 11. Build week listed as May 2nd. Over on the Maverick forums people are reporting similar delays.

If I deciphered the railcar information correctly my ladies ride was unloaded yesterday. Pretty sure that is the railyard in San Antonio which is around 2 hours away. If all this is correct it will arrive at dealership anywhere between late this morning and Festivus, based on Ford Time.

Yeah as I understand it UP is West of Mississippi, CSX East. I mentioned CSX because from the visibility report it shows shipped rail with car number on May 12th, Mexico. The next entry is Arrived at Junction Point, CSX transportation, Birmingham AL May 14th. Pretty obvious that the rail car...

I recently watched a few videos of cars getting unloaded from railcars. Forget the mileage, your vehicle already took more of a beating getting loaded and unloaded :crackup:

You would think it would be helpful, but you would be wrong! :crackup: I have the railcar number and about the best I can get out of it is it left Nogales on May 14th, scheduled to arrive somewhere on May 23rd. I say somewhere because the automated system voice says a bunch of gibberish then a...

When I look up my ladies order on that app it shows nothing for ID or Origin. If I do a trace on the railcar using the number for UP it appears to state it has arrived at final rail destination. If I trace using CSX it shows the railcar parked in Alabama. Basically the entire shipping tracking...

Hopefully your sales guy can give you a rail car number. Then you can spend your days tracking the car and go mad trying to make sense of the events! Sounds like a good deal of the sales folks do not know how to pull the right report. When we stopped by dealership the other week the guy helping...

Velocity blue is pretty damn hot. Really does pop and shine. Of all the colors Velocity and Area51 are my top picks, Cactus is not too bad either. Orange is hard to pull off and often comes out looking too yellow for my tastes, though I own a Punk'n Orange jeep and love the color. My wife went...

Well as of this morning the railcar is expected to arrive on Monday. For most the the week it said arrival on the 21st, then changed to 22nd, now 23rd. I fully expect it to change to the 24th tomorrow.

So SO true! At this point I would not be shocked to learn it get's loaded on a Zeppelin for an air drop to the dealer. Last Saturday when we looked at the visibility report at the dealer the dude there insisted that the rail car was in Alabama and ETA was June 15th-21st because that's what's on...

Nope! Austin Texas. I thought Industry might refer to City of Industry but that would not make much sense as the trains to Texas go through Tuscon and on to El Paso, etc. This is using the UP tracker. CSX tracker shows same car number arriving at destination in Alabama 2 days after it left...

It is all a grand mystery and yes, the automated system can be a bit hard to decipher for sure. About all I was able to figure out is it left Arizona, then left "somewhere" (station name is hard to make out) and May 22nd is estimated arrival at industry. Guessing that is the last stop and a...

Based on our experience, build weeks and days are more like "Here are the sorta kinda maybe build week and day". Here is a bit from the visibility report. 2/17 - Build week of 5/2 (This bit was also sent via email) 4/8 - Scheduled to day (5/6) 4/29 - Window sticker popped with invoice date of...

If you don't mind my asking, whereabouts in Texas are you looking? Also, the only acceptable list of dealer options is nothing. They can say whatever they want but no one is forcing them to put the options on. I would bet that if you said ok to all that, once it comes in they will hit you with...

Find another dealer. The add on options being mandatory is the first warning, the second is their 8-10 week claim.

Ha! I tried the same thing and never got anywhere. Regarding build day email, It is probably best not to expect one. My wife never got one, nor did any of the other recent orders around here. Also, don't count on having it officially built the week of your build week. We did not get the built...
