Don't think VA deliveries will be trucked from KC. Most seem to be going from KC to Norfolk Southern to rail over here. That follows my dealers past experiences from Mexico - Was told they would rail into Norfolk Southern in Winston-Salem, NC then truck up to Virginia for dealer delivery.

Obviously things change though, so maybe they will truck some from KC over here.
I think you're right. Mine took a Norfolk-Southern train to Delaware and back to KC.

Hi @methorian , I'm in Fairfax. I don't know the route the train is taking to the east coast or which terminal they will use to transfer to the truck for deliveries to the DC area. I'll keep an eye on Palsapp to see when/where it will make the final leg to the dealership.
Fairfax-bound cars should take the train to the Port Wilmington (DE) like mine did. Methorian's should head to Winston-Salem.

With all this movement, I wish the cars were better covered. The wraps are only in a few places. I have seen other brands have their entire cars wrapped to prevent damage.

? Just generated my PIN today, getting the insurance lined up so it's ready to go.
Because you are the most informed on financing/leasing in the forum, please let us know which way you ended up going. Thanks...

don't you know? his A-Plan PIN means he gets the car for 95% off.

(this is not true)

Well when your car is that fragile that it needs to be wrapped, makes you wonder how thick the paint is!!!
MachE is like, "I don't need no stinkin wrap!" I'm built Ford Tough!!!! ;)

I understand your point. But I think part of the full wrap shipment for new vehicles is for show. To make the customers think "These puppies are really protected." I'm going to go with "Ford has been building and shipping cars for over a century. They know how to do this."

Now if you'll excuse me I have several gallons of Infinite blue paint to order. ;)

Hi. It looks like my FE was just moved from the KC Speedway (where it had arrived on 1-15-2021) to Norfolk Southern in Birmingham, MO. Mine was one of the cars apparently parked at the Speedway for the QC check. For those curious, I found this on the Palsapp tracker. Then I checked the tracker on this forum which now shows an ETA for delivery of 2-19-2021.
Anyone feel like we are in a giant Monopoly game? OP gets his "Get Out of Jail" card while those of us who were coasting around the board having avoided the original delay email, got a "Go Directly to Jail" delay email for the first time TODAY.

My cars are released from jail finally. Heading to the halfway house on the railroad. Should be home about this time next month if I am lucky.

One more step closer....
