Call the phone number. Ford was out of date. if you don't have railcar number you can ask Ford on the ford chat.
Ford Chat was completely not helpful. They told me it was in Salem that I already new and there's no other status. When I call Union Pacific tracking, they just tell me when another shift takes over and that it will arrive at industry at 7:59am on June 10th.

Sounds like you did already, but when I've used the Chat I've had to follow up a few times and ask more specific questions, and then I've gotten a little more concrete info. Like this morning I was told it was in Blue Island, IL, and that was it, but then asked about an ETA, and was given 6/12- which I hadn't seen/been given by anyone else before.

Amazing news just now. I called UP and it says delivered at 3:15pm today. I emailed dealer and he said that it has been delivered to Mesquite railyard and needs to be unloaded. He is putting it on the hot list to be delivered ASAP. If all goes well, maybe I'll get it by Saturday or Monday.

As I feared, not sure the Chat CS rep this morning was correct, and in fact they made a typo saying 6/12. Chatted with another rep who gave me 7/12, which is the latest I already had in my official shipped email. Sad face.

That is awesome. This was my map from 9 years ago for a Fusion - also an excerpt of the locations the rail car passed on its way to Mesquite. Notice how it went through FW almost to its destination then back to FW then finally to Mesquite.

This whole trip only took about 4 days.

That was an odd way to go. I have no idea how mine went. After Northern Canada or whatever it is called, there were no other stops that showed up on my visibility report. It took 3 days to come from Salem, IL to Mesquite.

Congrats! How many days did it beat your EDD by?

I never had a EDD. It just said TBD on the tracker. I think it might have something to do with my truck not actually having a built date. The truck a ✔ but didn't have a date.

She’s on the way!!! FordPass is still active and showing my Lightning moving away from Dearborn. It’s becoming real…that I need to arrange for $80k real fast! 😂
That’s awesome! Here’s to hoping mine is with it. Haven’t been able to update app for hours now. Only other time that I couldn’t get it to update only lasted a few minutes!
It’s on Ramp 59 collecting dust. I guess being an early build only gave us the opportunity to get what we want …… except the Pro lol

I’m starting to doubt I’ll see it this month, maybe August at the earliest. 5/16 Build are being delivered already within 13 days of build lol
Has anyone confirmed deliveries in SoCal? We may just be last in line as a region. Although I’m sure there’s enough completely built to warrant a shipment or 5 or 10!

I've seen a number of references to getting information through Ford Chat. I'm assuming Ford Chat is just the "start chatting" feature under Ford's Contact Us on their website. Is that correct?

Assuming yes, what information do you need to get Rail Car information from them? VIN? order number? And do they have the same info available on the vehicle visibility report that the dealership should have access to?

My dealership isn't the most responsive so I'm just wondering if I should spend my impatient investigation time with Ford Chat instead.

Sadly for me Ford Chat has note that my vehicle has been received at Blue Island IL facility but has no record of a rail car number. Only that it is being changed to BNSF - not sure if this means vehicles come out of the rail car and get loaded into a new one, or if the rail cars themselves get handed off.

But that's the good kind of surprise.
