We got our built email! Along with an estimated delivery date of May 29th-June 4th. Weird that it seems longer than the delivery estimates for other parts of the country. I'm wondering if they are waiting for more cars to be ready to ship to New England.

Ford tracker now says the vehicle has shipped. Let the excitement began. I'll have to check in with ford chat to get the rail car info.

I think they are building in buffer. I shipped last Friday going to South Alabama. Train goes to Atlanta and then convoy 200 miles to my dealer . This morning the train is at the station in Atlanta, arrival 10:15 last night, 3 full days after it left Detroit. It’s going to be frustrating if it now takes 3 weeks to deliver the last 200 miles. The ETA they gave me we 5/29-6/4🤔🤔

Tear tag is found near the top of this site above where the modules populate:
https://www.motorcraftservice.com/A...x-fTjcbmQuY2-glrvQbWCxDJ9AvRRP98nUv2cZ19kEfoc
Tear tag should show but there a few where I have seen that have not. Tear tag is the final calibration flashed to the modules. It’s a code the dealer and Ford can reference to know what strategy is running your Bronco. It will not run without it, but again some have been very slow to populate, as in, their Bronco had shipped and the Tear tag was missing from the website but obviously the truck had been programmed/calibrated.

And no, mine never showed up. Thinking it'll show up at some point. Or it's not important. Or my vehicle isn't complete and I'm getting a partially built Bronco. At this point, I think I'm ok with any of these 😂

200 miles is like a 3.5 hour drive. There is no way it should take that long. I’m only 214 miles from the plant in MI and expect it to arrive at my dealership the day after it ships. I’m hopeful you will get yours sooner rather than later!

Here is my Atlanta Train Depot Bound Bronco - Journey as of 6:40 CST..in Chattanooga, TN!!!

UPDATE!!
I haven’t updated the map, but my Bronco arrived at Norfolk Southern East Point, Atlanta GA station last night basically 3 full days after shipping! Much faster than I thought. Now I just hope it’s not 3 weeks to ship the last 200 miles to my dealer via convoy as my estimated delivery was 5/29-6/4. PLEASE tell me it doesn’t take 3 weeks to complete a 4 hour drive 🤷🏼‍♂️

Congrats, you will most likely ship CSX to Chicago and then the hand off to Union Pacific. I was shocked how fast rail delivered mine from Detroit to Atlanta. 3 days non stop movement.
