Rambox/E-torque order tracking

[sgk]

That's great news man!

With @BobbiBigWheels tracking I was able to determine that my truck will not be sent via rail at all. Going Budd Yard to Toledo VDC ( Vehicle Distribution Center) and then direct to my dealer. Got my fingers crossed that I hit KZ status in the next couple days and it does arrive at my dealer on the estimated 8/14 date he supplied

are you now tracking with both? if so do you notice a difference?

So I'm talking to one of my friends that works in the injection/thermo formingindustry. He is the same one that tipped me off that the original Rambox component supplier went belly up. That is starting to make a lot more sense as a reason because the Ramboxes would have been throroughly tested before being offered up for production. As I mentioned previously if they had to switch suppliers the components would have to be re-validated. If this information is correct I believe that then means that the components from the new supplier failed validation. These are his thoughts on the situation.

"If what is being posted in true it sound like a process change which mean tooling is involved."

"Want my next guess… that it is both.
That they are having to run the Mold slow and carefully. That the inventory of prerun components are crap. So they are sorting and running slowly. Too slowly to fill orders. While at the same time looking for another supplier OR changing to Injection molds."
"One thing to consider is even rushed a injection molded tool is 16 weeks. Thermo formed 6 weeks."

If this is the case, it could be awhile.

I don't think the folks will be working outside in a storage yard fixing the Rambox trucks. Going to be a longer process that that!!!

More than likely it would be done at a Satellite shop if there is one nearby. Taking them back to SHAP would be more time/expense and then hold up new production at SHAP as well.

What are you saying it will be Dec-Jan now

What are you saying it will be Dec-Jan now

You can order a new TESLA ( The worst reputation for delivery ) and get it sooner.

Unless you order a Model 3...

I was on a HIGH note when I left the house this morning and now after reading all this I am on a LOW note.

I got no clue what to believe anymore

Me either, trying to get to the bottom of all of it.

My opinion of Ram' s sloppy amateur rollout hasn't changed. But it's like some people on this forum are blind or dont want to pay attention. They ARE making rambox equipped trucks. Has supply caught up with demand? No. Is there rework? Probably. But I tell you what, mine probably isnt the first to be shipped. And it will be here in a little over a week if shipping goes as scheduled. That means there are trucks that have passed inspection. I'm a huge critic of the circus that this rollout has been but I'm just looking at the proof now. These rumors are getting out of hand.

These rumors are getting out of hand.

I gotta agree with you there.

 

[RT70808]

rumors? I thought everything on the net was true or they wouldn’t put it there?

 

[Kramersp]

People just need to make judgement based on the facts at hand and not rumors.

On Ram’s search tool, a couple dealerships within the max 150mi radius of me have some “in transit” as well. I recommend everyone check the inventory search tool and see what they find.

Examples:
These guys have a few in transit:

So not fair, one of those is almost in my backyard and I did not see it

 

[alwi228]

So what im reading is "I'll send pics as soon as this truck arrives!!"

 

[edrclark]

Sure, odd thing, that one did not show up on my ram inventory search, are you using something else?

 

[Foxman]

What are you guys using to search? I used the ramtrucks.com new inventory search and didn't come up with any Rambox trucks within 150 miles of New Orleans.
Just want to be sure I'm using the right resource.

Sorry Dude- The letter is going out to all the dealers according to my dealer's rep. There are over 2000 in a lot called " taylor auction site.". Check it out for yourself. Mine has been built since the 7th of July. It is sitting in JS status and has been moved to storage. The info I got was from the General Manager who called his rep.

I actually got the same info from 2 different dealers today
