And, oddly, I may be the only Missouri lightning to actually ship Convoy.

" I show Convoy # 2401xxx (Vehi-ship Llc)" as per Ford Chat

I waited 11 days for you to get on the train and you are taking a truck instead?

Hey, don't blame me, blame Ford logistics! At least that's one fewer stop on the way to Oklahoma

And, for what it's worth, it looks like Vehiship might actually just be a company that takes stuff to the rail yard....

Stalking my railcar. Train has just gone past Roanoke Indiana heading straight towards St. Louis.

Somehow, in St. Louis I get switched from Norfolk Southern to BNSF. Then I'll have to figure out how to track a BNSF train.

Officially “shipped” as of this AM. Order track says “in transit”. Going to try to get a rail car number from Ford chat later today

As the only one of us to not ship yet, I can't begin to tell you how badly my eye is twitching. Neither of yours could wait for mine? It's been sitting there since June! No little nudge to say, "Get on board, buddy!"?

Have you checked your reservation on Ford.com? That's the only way I know. I have not gotten a "shipped" email

Only about 70 times a day—conservative estimate. Granger is on the ball. Emailed them and a few minutes later they said that it’s at Ramp 58 starting 08/05. Was at Ramp 59 from 06/16.

Guessing that “in transit” status I had for about five minutes was a hiccup from them changing locations.

How many ramps does Ford have in MI? Hoping we’re not counting all the way down to 1

I bet it will be there tonight. Congrats!

Ramp 58 is in Melvindale MI (South Southwest of the Rouge plant).
My Lightning was delivered to the ramp 58 parking lot (spot 1) a day before I got my shipped notification.
Then it was moved to (spot 2) and I got my shipped notification that same day. I called Ford Chat a couple of days later to get the Railcar number and they told me it "was released to the ramp" which is what triggered the Shipment notice.
Finally after 11 glorious days in spot 2, I saw my truck parked on the railroad tracks (spot 3). I called Ford Chat and they were able to give me a railcar number. I was in the Ramp 58 parking lot for a total of 12 days.

Edit. Ramp 58 above. is run by Norfolk Southern
Ramp 59 is run by CN (Canadian National) Schaefer Yard (North of the Rouge plant)

I think the North ramp is 59 but I'm not certain on that one. (pic below)

OMG OMG OMG, Dealer called and the truck will be ready to pick up tomorrow. Have an appointment at 10 when the F&I office opens.

How did you guys get notified when it had arrived at dealer? As far as I can tell, "Vehi-ship" offers no tracking capability.

Wasn't notified until later on in the day when I got a complete your purchase email. However, I live close to the plant so when I saw in transit on the app track website, I knew it was going to be there when I got out of work. You will see it very soon. I'm shocked it's not there yet.

Finally got my “rolled off the assembly line pic”.

No trucks behind me … was I last !?!

But now that I look back at an older pic, they really all are the same. It’s identical. What’s a scam. Its not that hard to automate the VIN + picture + email ... cmon ford!

Finally got my production line photo.

My railcar left Decatur IL heading towards KC instead of St. Louis. Now I'm trying to figure out if they will truck it from KC (about 200 miles away). Or ship it on BNSF Rail to OKC (about 150 miles away) and then truck it from there. Sticker says it is going to OKC. Dealer gets them trucked from either location.

My sales rep actually emailed me at 6:10 in the morning saying the truck arrived out of nowhere and they weren’t told anything was coming. Then I checked Order Track and sure enough it showed Delivered as well.
