nep84 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I ordered on 3/11 and was until yesterday scheduled for build week of 5/24. Then I checked last night and my week of build date is gone. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I assume it means their system is going to change the build date. It seems like many of y'all are getting your cars and ford is stepping up. What is the liklihood my build date is going to be sooner rather than delayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally scheduled in late January for a built week of 6th March, I noted the build week moved 2 or 3 times, with it finally being built 28th April. When they schedule vehicles it is based on anticipated parts delivery, but the current supply chain issues often causes delays. Even with the schedule firmed up to a build day, our order was pushed back twice, most likely due to batteries and panoramic roof.

dchan Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Yes. Platinum with premium tech package. I have not noticed any flex/creaking but as a computer tech, I am generally not hard on screens or tablets. Pressing buttons harder does not generally make them work better or faster!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers09 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Received the weekly update from our dealer and DW's Escape is still in Chicago, at the Canadian Pacific Yard, just south of the airport. Hasn't moved in a week. Probably why the ETA is 8th to 14th June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchan Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Interesting. Was it put on a rail car or taken there by Convoy? Wondering if they did what they did for mine. It was on a rail car and it seemed to be stuck at the blue Island transfer yard but in reality it was well on it’s way to the west coast.

Contact the chat support and ask where your vehicle is. They should be able at least give you the date that it was released to Burlington Northern and where. (Probably blue Island Il). With that info and knowing what day they transferred we may be able to get an estimate of when the rail car should have made the LA port.

irisheyes_13 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Ordered on 4/1, and received an email update that build week was the week of 5/30. Just received an email and the build week has been pushed back two weeks to 6/12. Also, the tracker has reverted back to "Order Confirmed". I know that the production has ramped up quite a bit at the Lousiville Assembly Plant. How many times has the build week been updated for others in this forum?

It was on a rail car and it seemed to be stuck at the blue Island transfer yard but in reality it was well on it’s way to the west coast. The window sticker shows leaving the factory by convoy, but I don't know how far it went by truck - all the way to Chicago, or a closer rail yard. I will have to stop into the dealer and ask them to drill down to see the previous history, as my weekly updates only show the latest primary and secondary status. Interesting to note that based on WS, my dealer's Escapes are about 50/50 rail or convoy leaving the factory and they also get unloaded at different ramps. My assumption is that since convoy ends up with CP rail, the ones leaving by rail may be CN Rail. The truck plant in the same city ships all truck bound to my dealer by rail and CP. Interesting how 2 plants so close ship differently. I had a similar experience with my F-450 last year. The CSX tracking had it in Chicago, the entire time, so the day it arrived in Vancouver, CSX still thought it was in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least maybe it made it to the local port. I had one of those "updated" on a date with no changes, the day the vehicle made the local port, Then another when it was unloaded from the car. and yet another when it was put on a car carrier headed to the dealership. When it finally made the dealership, it changed to "in final ..." I was able to pick it up that same day when they brought it in for final inspection and wash it. F&I got me taken care of in about 45 minutes and I was on my way home. Note for those of you with hybrids, Reset the MPG indicator when you get it. I was driving it around wondering why I was never getting the average to get above 28.5 MPG. Even when coasting down hill full regen and electric.., They must run these idling in the factory as they do their testing, while moving them very little while the engine is running. It would probably take a long time to get that average to start reflecting what I'm really getting. Once I reset the meter/indicator, it's now showing 39-44MPG as I putter around the city.

Did you end up financing? Did they offer 0% for 36 months as per Ford's order builder? I plan on doing that if it is honored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on doing that if it is honored. Yes, 0% 36 months. I put down a little more than 10% and financed the rest. The Sales person tried to sell me the extended warr at close to full price. I turned him down because I knew I could beat the price. Then the F&I guy offered me a good fair price on the Extended warr So I went ahead and got that too so that I could add it to the financing rather than pay it outright or have to finance it at some other interest rate, so I got that at 0% for the 36 as well. If you can afford the payments, it's hard to pass up a 0% loan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got my window sticker yesterday, also from Ontario Canada so I am assuming chodaddy15’s mode of transport is rail just like mine. Just a general question, my car has been in production for like 3 days now and the scheduled build week is 5/17/2023 so I am assuming it will be built by then..when can I expect delivery?

dchan Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Oh yeah I think I remember Chodaddy's earlier message. Ontario Canada may be a customs or waiting for enough vehicles to be headed that way from the Local transfer locations. Can your Dealer or the chat function on Shop Ford, tell you the current location of your vehicle or has it even shipped yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchan Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 From what I can see in the limited info I'm able to find, is that Ontario Canada, starts as rail, and gets out to a certain location, Then has to be transferred to a different Rail carrier or to a truck convoy. Your dealer is the person to ask, although if you use the chat function, they may be able to tell you once the vehicle is transferred, to whom it was transferred to. For Instance, when my assigned rail car reached Blue Island, IL, The customer support people on the Chat, were able to tell me that the vehicle had been released to Burlington Northern/Southern Pacific. A different rail carrier. and we sort of lost track of the exact tracking until it arrived at the Richmond Rail yard in California. Using Burlington Northern's web info I was able to determine that the trip from Blue Island to Richmond should have taken 8-9 days. My understanding of Rail Transfer points, is they don't want product sitting around these rail yards so the transfer is usually pretty quick however if it's going international (like Canada) there are customs issues that could hold up the transfer and they do not want to be stopping and removing rail cars right at the border so I suspect those would be held at the transfer point rather than being added to a train crossing a border.

dchan Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Do the Ontario people show a "shipped status" yet? or is it still in "Waiting to be shipped" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Also in Ontario (GTA), my PHEV Premium order was marked as built on May 1, then had the green dot on Shipped on May 2. Originally I had a really wide delivery window of May 8 to June 7 or something like that. Then it got updated early this week to a slightly tighter window in the middle of that range (May 23-June 1) and today just got updated to an even sooner range (today to May 17). Window sticker says rail. I ordered in April of last year (as a 2022, obv), so the MSRP on the window sticker is quite a bit higher than what we had agreed to, hopefully the price protection goes smoothly.
