Am I being too impatient?

Yes.

I emailed today, telling them it was business day 10, and inquiring. Here is the reply I got, which shows they're coming, a few hundred at a time. I placed my order on Saturday evening, 8/24.

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting Wallbox, I apologize for the inconvenience that you mentioned,

We have contacted our managers to inquire about the purchases made on the Fisker website. Unfortunately, since those orders were not placed through our website, we are unable to track them at all. The information we currently have indicates that there may be a delay in delivery.

Our logistics team informed us yesterday that the first batch of 360 was shipped yesterday from FedEx, and the next one will be shipped in the next few days, We will also eventually receive the tracking numbers of those ships, and as soon as that occurs, we will get in touch with our customers.

If you have more questions, you can let me know!

Good news. Looks like they started shipping them (as the email stated).
They appear to have shipped mine. This is from FedEx Delivery Manager.
BTW I didn’t pay for shipping…

Miracle! I'm sure I'm not the only one who just got an alert.

Just adding my note that I also received notification that FedEx has the shipment from Wallbox. I have not received any communication from Fisker, though. Also, no delivery date from FedEx yet.

On 8/25. I don’t remember the time. Probably evening.

Wonder why I got skipped? Or, are they out of order?

I ordered two.

Same here. I ordered on Aug 24, 2024 at ~5.45PM and do not have any shipping notification. Hopefully just out of order.

Mine is set to be delivered tomorrow. They're getting shipped. It is just taking a while.

Analyzing the evidence (what I do for a living):

Some reported seeing "label created" in their FedEx Delivery Manager accounts on 9/3. I did not see this, yet now that I have a tracking number, the tracking says that the label was indeed created 9/3. Go figure, but obviously the "label created" status is hit or miss.

Last Friday, @zooka posted a message from Wallbox claiming that they had shipped ~700 orders over the previous two days, yet nobody had an actual shipping alert. Maybe there was still some sort of hold due to Fisker or another reason, or maybe the shipping dept. simply forgot to click the FedEx button that said "ready for pickup."

Today @frunkmaster reported that WBox claimed shipment of 360 units, roughly half of what @zooka reported.

Here's my guess:
The FedEx truck arrived for pickup today. The packages, holding the wallbox and a thick coiled 25' cable, can't be small - at least 2x3, probably larger. FedEx loaded boxes from the top of the piles until the truck was full. My box may simply have been on top of your box that was packaged earlier because you ordered earlier. FedEx will probably be back for another load tomorrow. I'd be very concerned if you still don't get a delivery alert by tomorrow afternoon.

All speculation on my part, so please don't hate me if I'm wrong!

They'd be on pallets. FedEx would know how many pallets they were picking up. They'd send the necessary truck(s). Wallbox is also shipping non-Fisker orders.

Well, happy to report that these were real. I’ve got it. Thanks to whoever initiated this post and helped us get this deal!

You're welcome. Too bad I didn't need one.

You're welcome. Too bad I didn't need one.

I didn’t really need it as I am (barely) using only the Ford mobile charger. My wife charges the MachE for free at work. But, this will look nicer in the garage and I can keep the Ford one in the car just in case ?.
Or, maybe I can resell this new one for $400? ???
