Fastronaut Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hey, what color are you guys who got your VIN's today? I'm thinking they expect the Ruby Red to be in stock by the 15th! Ruby Red seems to be in vogue at the plant right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyTi Fusion Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sorry taylorjd, I forgot to mention they gave me the build week also, it is 4/15/2013! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyTi Fusion Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Where is the VIN checker website again? I didn't really want to search through all 69 pages to find it. If someone remembers that would be great otherwise, a search it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusionTX Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I got status on my order from my dealer (including rail car id ETTX820604. ) It shipped yesterday with a 4/11 eta Congrats! How can a car get to NC faster than Houston? My ETA is 4/13. Probably same train as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyRedFuse Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hey great news wazzul and jcg1005 on your VINS! Maybe now we'll all be as lucky and get a build date with HyTi Fusion on 4-15. Here's to all the Ruby Reds moving forward! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pers69 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Congrats y'all ... I'm hoping mine ships sometime in the next several weeks as it has fallen into the TBD hole since it was built on 3/22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efudd Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Congrats! How can a car get to NC faster than Houston? My ETA is 4/13. Probably same train as yours. I think sometimes it's quicker for a train to get from Los Angeles to Chicago then it is for that same train to get across Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcg1005 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 You can tweet @FordService for updates. You need the same kind of info that you need for cyberdman to give them. ( like dealer code / order number ) I don't feel you get the same detail, but they don't seem to mind if you ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captinkirk Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Just got updated on my car. Its currently in nogales az (not gonna stay there long! AZ LOL) Ford has an ETA of the 9th of April. The rail company is saying the ETA is the 3rd of april. I wonder who is going to be right and how long it takes from when the train arrives to unload and load onto the truck for dealership delivery. Could it be plausable that I would take delivery of my car on the 3rd or 4th of April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorjd Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Finally on the move again, left Herington, KS and passed Dwight, KS at Mar 28 9:31 pm MT . http://tinyurl.com/cohawss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on chugging. Had the news on and noticed a ticker story saying a train derailed in ... (scrolling, heart skipping a beat...)... Minnesota . As it scrolled, I was relieved to see it had dumped 30,000 gallons of oil as opposed to 300 Fusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfusion Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 ETIS is finally reporting a build date for my car: 27-03-2013. It's getting more and more exciting and I look forward to joining the fun of tracking the vehicle. BTW, The reported build date (3/27) for me is exactly one week from the date on the window sticker (3/20). For those just getting into the mix, the window sticker was not available online until 3/21. The ETIS build date was not available until 3/28. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malibu3105 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Lo and Behold!! What did I see on my way into work this morning, ?? Why it's a train with what seems to be railcars. Now that I know what they look like!!!! Going through Riverside, CA to San Bernardino, CA. Maybe one of them is yours !!! I was going to add a picture but can't figure that out, but was fun to see about 20 or 30 of the cars go by. Looked like maybe the entire train had cars loaded.
