The only information I can see regarding an embargo was the one that started late June, but ended September 4.
https://www.railwayage.com/freight/class-i/bnsf-california-permit-embargo-will-end-in-september/

I can only assume that once the embargo ended, and the floodgates opened, that it would take some time to ship the California backlog.

I wish that instead of a ##/##/## Build Week Chat groups, there was a "California Owner Build Chat Group' that started prior and during the embargo. I'm sure people posting in that group has the most delays.

My dealer called to let know that the car is here. Have a few questions regarding the purchase
1. As I ordered it last year, am I eligible to get interest rate/incentives of Dec 2021? If so how do I make sure that dealer honors the interest rate/Incentives of Dec 2021.
2. I see that there is a $2000 current incentive for ford options. Is ford options better that financing? It looks like ford options is better.

My ETA has now been pushed back a month to Dec 9th. No reason given as to why. Starting to get nervous so close to end of the year… if it goes past 12/31 and I lose the tax benefit I will unfortunately probably walk away from this car. Would be a bitter end to a long wait.

Got back from the dealership a few hours ago, it was an easy purchase experience (thanks Blackwell Ford) and I've been getting to know the car now.

Sending good vibes out to everyone who is still waiting!

Dealer should look up rates and option at time of order, and current. There will probably be options even when you ordered, and that is straight of the bottom line, so definitely options, atleast in MA there is no pre-payment penalty, so I plan to pay it off in a couple of months the extra $2500 options gave me was a bonus. You are still eligible the the tax credit with options, as it isn't like a lease. I believe the system they are supposed to use is Smart Vincent to look up the rates when you ordered.

Ford chat said my most recent update was 9/17 and MME was still at ramp 6R. I will live vicariously through you, Fins160, fliptech9, & redpony89. (Otherwise, it's 60 days in "shipped" status, 48 of them sitting at ramp 6R.)

Just checked my reservation, and it has been moved to next week! Original ETA was 10/29 -11/4 then pushed to 12/7-12/13. Now, as of 6:25pm 11/15-11/21!!!! Still hasn't left Pasco, Wa, that I know of, but I knew it would be closer to Thanksgiving!

Ooh, Pasco. That's pretty close. When did you get that update? Mine was in Spokane on Saturday. I figured it was getting close to Portland by now. Might be on the same train.

I decided to take a peek at my ETA just now. Just went from 11/12-18 all the way to 1/5/2023! I think that's the first 2023 ETA I have seen!

The baby is at home now, rain was heavy on the way back but he is beautify, quite few customers in the dealership were gathering around it . Now he is happily recharged with "juice ". the mobile charger give me 15 miles per 30 mins, not bad at all.

Congrats!

Charging speed does not look right, it may adjust about twice less later
