So high and then so low. Bummer. Thanks for the quick 411.

Pretty sure he meant they got off at his dealer

With Syrc bringing some optimism back to our group... Maybe our Trucks will be together on a hauler in a few days.... We certainly should have a full truckload waiting in Las Vegas just for Sacramento deliveries.

I am becoming more and more hopeful. We should know for sure in a few days.

Little engine that couldn't strikes again , for the 7th day. Just traced my railcar and it's delayed again. Now industry is the 29th. That's a full week of delays. Still plenty of time for further delays.

Another member of the Sacramento crew here as well. Waiting for my Antimatter Blue XLT and getting really antsy. And it's hot, which doesn't help.

I just called UP trace and the estimated arrival to industry has also moved to the 29th.. It moved from the 25th, to the 26th, to the 27th, to the 28th and now the 29th. There is still 10 days for them to make the back end of my estimated arrival window to the dealership. Feeling confident is no longer possible, but at least I can remain hopeful.

I traced my railcar since the 13th and it was originally scheduled for the 22nd. I was the same as some of the other trucks that have been in Vegas for 4-5 days. Not sure if my railcar dropped off or what. My est delivery range is 7/31-8/6. Still vaguely possible but not likely at this rate. I'm trying to get financing lined up since rates will definitely be higher by the time it arrives. Many CUs post their rates monthly so i gotta lock in by months end. Second time locking, maybe this one will stick. I saw a lightning in the wild yesterday in my small town. WhyTF can't ford get me mine. Happy thoughts! $1695 delivery fee, give me a partial refund if you can't deliver in a timely manner.
End rant
It's beer thirty. So I have that going for me.

reporting back - 4 lightnings came in this morning to walnut creek on long transport with only other lightnings onboard. owner of the carbonized (not pictured) was there at same time and also mentioned that he had been stuck in vegas since last week. so that's about as much confirmation as we'll get that the norcal trucks got unloaded in vegas on or about the 19th, and have been on way to to dealerships via long transport over the past week+.

bonus pic - side by side of smoked quartz and atlas blue, both slightly dirty like how they'll look 90% of the time.

I just asked. It arrived at ramp 24 in Vegas on the 19th.

I was on ramp 24 as well

I’m expecting an Atls blue XLT. But that’s supposed to be going to Fairfield not Walnut creek.

I was on ramp 24 in Vegas on 19th also. Carbonized Gray XLT to Serramonte Ford. Today was the last day of my bumped forward delivery estimate. Hoping to hear something tomorrow!

Well TadCurious and my dates got bumped.

But just 2-extra days:

7/23 -7/29 to 7/25 to 7/31.

So, I guess there's still a chance to get it by 7/25.. Checks calendar...

I'm going to be optimistic this time around and think that we are on a hauler right now (or just getting on one) and it's just a matter of how long it takes the driver to get to us.

In my excessive research, I found that most drivers travel 300-500 miles/day. Below is a table from a Auto transporter:

Miles to/from	Days Until Delivery
0-400	1 Day
401-550	1-2 Days
551-1100	2-3 Days
1001-1500	3-4 Days
1501-2000	4-6 Days
2001-2500	6-8 Days
2501+	7-10 Days

Random site w / responses from Haulers.

It's around 550 miles to get from LV to Sacramento.

So, it could take up to 3 days to get here.

Lets add 1 day for ya know 2022 delays so 4 days since its was dropped off it COULD be in Sac??? I don't know what train I am on, I have been just following your lead. How do I find my EXACT train?
