Really where you see that? Explain, please. Where does it say or where did you get your info from that FCTP units are in KC speedway for a repair as YOU said?
Nubbie just be trolling.

My dealer's car is still in Cuautitlan but those of some other DC area dealers were shipped either 1/5 or 1/15. Odd thing is their transit time is listed as 1 day. FedEx overnight?

Palsapp is showing several DC-bound FCTP cars were transported from the KC MO rail yard to the KC KS Speedway:

What is the KC KS Speedway? Is it an actual racetrack, like Daytona? Is it just a “place”? Is it a gas station?

It is an actual racetrack, officially called Kansas Speedway that hosts NASCAR races on 2 weekends each year. A lot of parking area, so good place to store vehicles for whatever amount of time is needed.

Yes. but where does it say they were staged there for repair? That is my point. Where is that factual info saying that?
Nope but being shipped to Speedway.

That's probably a batch processing order-of-operations error. The "dummy" ETA date is 1/1/90, so it probably computes the transit date (which is really days) first before updating the ETA date. Wait a day and it will probably calculate correctly.

Probably so. ETA date is 2/14.

There was someone who was sending up
Drones throughout the Apple Park construction and posting progress videos. That would be a great thing to have for the staging areas in the US.

Clearly if they have to take them to Speedway, they are in need of repairs! These are supposed to be EVs, don't take them to a gas station!

*note, Speedway is a brand of gas station found in the Midwest...

Not necessarily. Could just be in the batch that needed to be double-checked. May or may not need an update/repair (depending on what they find).

Sounds like some ETA dates have already been moved back up, so it may just end up being limited to a few.

Or there was a giant parking lot that wasn't being used.
