I got a E mail today from my dealer who said the car would be at his dealership on 5/9/05 so I called the ELR and after telling her my info like 5000 times she finally told me that my car has been released.

Man she (the phone voice) was really upsetting me this morning. Can’t wait to get her. Does anyone else have the problem with the phone lady. Some times she gives e my info right away and other times she just wants to argue. :headbang: :dance:

I know what it is! The plant has stopped production! They aren't going to build our cars! That is why the ERL won't update for us. Oh my God. The humanity!!!

Check this out!!! Just called the, not so evil, Robot Lady.

She is saying "as of April 26th your vehicle has been shipped via convoy carrier"

Now we are getting somewhere!!!

She had been saying (for a couple weeks) as of 4/26...scheduled week of 4/25.
So I wonder if it was built early? Maybe they are running ahead of projected schedule?

Anyway had to report the news, ...there IS hope.

Could someone please PM me the ERL #? Dealer told me that mine was built last Monday, 4/18, and I just wanted to confirm that.

Called dealer today and he sent me the invoice for my car! Car is built and I called the 1-800 to talk to a live person at Ford and she said ETA of between 5/12-5/19. Dealer says 5/16. All I know is it is finally built and waiting to take a ride on the train.

Hang in there Tim.
If I had my guess, I would say yours has been shipped too.
Robot Lady is too busy doing her nails to keep things updated properly.
I think she goes for that black Goth look.

Congrats! ERL doesn't say built yet. Hope mine doesn't arrive between 5/16-5/20...I'll be outta town!

Just called my dealer. He said it has been showing "bucked" since Monday. The only change has been the ETA went from 5/5 to 5/9. WTF?! It is not supposed to take 4 days to build one of these cars is it?

I believe it takes 20 hours to build one car.

I guess it is plausible if they only work one 8-hour shift per day. It could have started late on Monday, gone through Tuesday and Wednesday, and be completed today. Or maybe it fell off the assembly line and ignited into a firey heap. Who knows. Does anyone know how many shifts they work?

Robot Lady told me this morning that my wife's pony was built on 4/27!

Now, I just need to get an ETA, which hopefully is before 5/13. Anyone know if cars are shipped via rail or convoy from Michigan to NW Pennsylvania? :scratch:

Just called and I don't think I can call her ERL anymore.

"As of April 27th your vehicle has been shipped via convoy carrier"

Does that mean semi?
