At last I hear some news today regarding mine. The seller tells me that he left this morning from Mexico by train. The Cargo Ship theory faded, at least in my case.
News…but not good news if it really has been sitting that long before actually shipping. It would mean mine might not have left Mexico Oct 1 either. ????

My dealership also told me that they have information on a shortage of employees in transportation. That may be true given what is happening in many places.

Seems like good new is abounding today. Just got this from my dealer:

Hi Jeff!
I finally have a rail car number!!!
Railcar # AOK 502714

I guess El Rojo has had enough tequila and wants to dry out on a long train ride north.

Officially abandoning my 9/21 black hole order. I got to pick between a select with no options for xplan or a fully loaded select for MSRP. I decided the gimmicks weren’t worth 4K so I went with the cheap xplan one.
Funny that particular car shipped 9/20 only two weeks after coming off the assembly line vs the two months for my order, go figure… the car did have a $5k markup but they agreed to move the markup to my abandoned order and gave me xplan price so pretty happy about that. Plus, two keys!

This is all over the place. No consistent data anymore. But congrats to those that are getting deliveries. At least some are getting through.

Well once they get to the middle of the country…… trucks will reach different places at different times. I was shocked it only took 11 days from the rail yard to my dealer in Florida.

I still think what we are seeing is the supply chain/delivery chain starting to creak back into a semblance of order now that much of the chip hold seems to be fading. For nearly 2 months over the summer, cars were piling up waiting for chips. A very few were getting build completely. Once they got a better supply of chips, they had a lot of cars all of a sudden that needed to be shipped. There is only so much space on the train to KC, so some got backlogged (mine apparently was one of them). Then in KC, you have a fixed amount of cars that can be transferred in any given time period - restricted by truck driver availability. Then the time to get them loaded onto other train cars for shipment out to final delivery depots, etc. I bet the cars built in October become much more predictable vis a vis shipping as the backlog is cleared.

Day 35, no updates yet in Palsapp. But then again, it only got assigned a railcar last week on Wednesday, so still in wait and (wait and wait and) see mode.
