4/24/2023 Build Week

[Brian803]

So I've been tracking my railcar for the last couple of days, things have been going fine presumably as it went from Michigan, to Ohio and then this morning it arrived in Louisville, KY. This evening I checked to see if there was any movement, and got the notification that the car was "bad ordered" and that no ETA was available. Has anyone heard of this? Doesn't sound good.

Per Google “A bad order tag stapled to the tack card by a toad instructed the switchmen to route the car to the RIP track (RIP = Repair In Place) for repairs. These were basically outdoor shop tracks located adjacent to the switching yards where workmen could work on the cars without fear of their being moved, under a rule called Blue Flag Protection.”

My Bronco is also located at Louisville, KY as this AM w no problems.

So, appears that your specific rail car has a problem vs the entire train.

I am in Nashville, TN and just called CSX. My railcar is now in Louisville, KY and will arrive in Nashville tomorrow at 12:00 noon. I have never heard of a "bad ordered". See if you can get someone from CSX on the phone to explain what that means.

Has anyone received a picture of their Bronco at the production plant?

 

[Steed76]

I haven't gotten any plant pics. Although I'm a retail order, I think only reservation holders get those. I could be wrong.

Friday morning update... I'm now showing shipped. Seems like they finally made it to the back row. And no pic received...

Dang! Pumped for those of you making progress! I have disengaged for the last few days to tamp down on my lack of patience! I pinged the chat bot today to see if there's an update (my estimated delivery window was May 15-21 and that has come and gone) and got the following

Michael you 2023 Bronco is in production and its pending an update. The estimated time of arrival has not been updated.

Bummer chatbot! Bummer! Keep on trucking homies!

 

[Steed76]

Please everyone, post a pic ASAP when you take delivery to keep everyone encouraged!

So for the first time my tracker now says built as of 5/25 (although I know it was built 4/24). Hoping to get on your train!

Per my earlier comment this AM:

So, appears that Brian803 specific rail car has a problem vs our entire train.

My OB is also on this same train heading to St Augustine, FL

Can so relate, to trying to tamp down expectations, but when you know it is built and no one can tell you anything it is maddening. I mean I can track the $8 fawcett aerator from the time I order it through each shipment hub, but a $60K vehicle just disappears from view?
