BUILT & SHIPPED !! Tracker update 2023: What's your status?

[Mustang1987]

Im still being told this weekend even though the car shows no sign of having left New Boston. Ford chat doesn't have a rail car number.

Same for me as well

when I called csx it went from placed in industry, to empty-released as of like 6 am this morning, i guess that means the car is on a trailer on the way to the dealer? should I be expecting a call today or can that take a few days? dealer is 2 hours from rail yard

"Empty - Released" just means your car has been unloaded from the rail car and is now sitting in a parking space at the train yard.

In all likelihood, you're now stuck in purgatory waiting on a truck to complete the final leg to the dealer. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to track this after CSX releases your car.

A lot of folks here are at this stage, myself included.

Let's hope it's a weird mess up in the system and they're on the way. Did you get a shipped email?

I got a shipped email almost two weeks after the tracker said it was shipped. You?

What railyard? Mine is at Jessup MD and went from 'constructively placed to 'empty' yesterday at 4 am. I believe it's still at the railyard waiting for transport to the dealer.

twin oaks PA, maryland was the railyard before it made it to twin oaks and then finally got the empty released there this morning after sitting there for about 2 days

I did some research and on average it takes about 2-4 days to get to your dealer after you receive the "empty" status.

Mine should be here by Friday.

Tracker said shipped on the 21st and I got the email on the 31st.

I guess the tracker really does get ahead of the car sometimes. Mine says delivered as of yesterday, but the dealer still hasn’t seen it. The dealer is only 10 miles away and I went there to check and will be driving by every day, so I don’t think they’re hiding it from me.

My dealers system says the ETA for their first 4 cars (mine included) as 12-18 SEP but my tracker still says in production 7/10 so I'm not holding my breath

I thought that the dealer has to accept delivery in order for the tracker to update to 'Final Preparation'?

Playing devil's advocate, it's possible:

1. The car *IS* at the dealer (somewhere hidden out of sight) and the person you spoke with simply doesn't know.

2. It's on a truck in transit to the dealer as of yesterday and whoever mamages that tracker got ahead of themselves with changing the status.
