Got my charger installed today, guess I can stare at that while I wait for my car. I went with a Lectron V-Box with 48amp charging capability.

I just checked Union Pacific and it says today my car was delivered to the industrial. Status L2 unloaded.
My delivery date is 15-21. Does anybody have any idea what that mean ?

Hard to say ... I had to decipher Norfolk Southern's lingo which was challenging. How did you get that info? Did it indicate what 'rail yard' it's at now? "Unloaded" may mean that it's being prepared for a different rail car ... or being prepared for truck transport. Just some educated guesses.

I did my first MME 'mod' today. I installed after-market rear door handles. Stupidly easy. Remove one screw, remove the cover of the double-sided tape, mount the door handle to the trim and put the screw back in (with a provided hex wrench).

Did the door not pop out enough to grab it?

It did. I just wanted a uniform look between front and back doors.

Not sure, I check on the forum but couldn’t find anything. Hopefully it shows up upcoming week. As the eta also predicts it should be here by Friday 18th August. My excitement is very very high.
Btw which website are you using for tracking?

For those in this group who have taken delivery - did your mobile charging kit (in the trunk) include the 240v AND 120v adapters? Mine only included the 240v and the dealership is advising me that this is the 'standard' one to include. I'm interested in the 120v adapter for those rare occasions I'm staying with a friend and can charge my MME (albeit slowly) from a regular outlet.

Does not sound correct. You should have both.

Both 120 and 240 are listed as standard with every Mach-e model. I'd send them this link

Thanks, and I have since found that same web page. I've sent it over to my dealer and awaiting a response.
