Yours may show up - you still have a couple of days.

After the date reaches 1/15 - and no delivery, your window will slip into another time frame estimate.

We have seen some orders arrive earlier than estimated so anything can happen.

I just hope mine does not get so delayed - like March is a scary month - when the IRS rules on the battery mineral/sourcing guide....

I am just hoping it arrives before my 30 day rate lock I got goes away. But not so confident now in it.

My railcar reached Chicago yesterday. Hopefully I won’t wait too long for the transportation 90 miles north.

I received my delivery update email from Ford stating that estimated delivery is now Feb 8-14 due to shipping delays. Quite the change from late December.... Looks like I'll be close to ten and a half months from original order.

You have to wait until the 15th to get an updated ETA.

At least yours made it out of MO and is in TX.

Found that UP is having weather based embargoes placed on rail to CA.
Might explain why the rail lines are messed up:

Lol I would imagine it’s on the way to MO as TX is in between Mexico and MO

Oh that's right!

MME are Mexico thru TX and then MO...

I keep thinking of my Lightning from MI to CA via TX on the BNSF line....

yea it’s an interesting route choice for CA. I would thought just go north haha.

Yes it depends on the rail company being used to transport.

In CA, we had Lightning deliveries from MI via UP or BNSF.
NorCal deliveries via UP thru NV and So Cal had BNSF thru TX/AZ.

Unfortunately mine is the Kansas City southern railway Co…. I see that is more like snail mail haha.

I wish there was a way to get better updates on its location

I actually just off the phone with Kansas City railway and they told me it actually transferred over to another Railway. BNSF. So maybe I will be lucky and it move towards CA and not away from it haha

I am in NorCal. Near BNSF Stockton hub. So hopefully it’s only delayed a few weeks at most.
