I just checked tracking and received the same "no status available." Last night it said 11am today.

Last night I saw a satellite slam into a an asteroid, Dimorphos, which is 525 feet in diameter and it hit it dead center. The train, I mean space ship, was moving at 15,000 mph (4.2 miles/sec), hit the asteroid 50 feet from center at a distance of 6,800,000 miles from earth. It pulled into the station right on time.

Am I alone in expecting better tracking from CSX than "no status" after a long journey. Not like humanity does not possess the technology to do so!

Ha right? These trucks are basically space ships with all the tech/gps/cameras...you'd think a tiny map on the vehicle status page wouldn't be a huge ask.

There may be a supply shortage of talented engineers and developers. You can have them either at NASA kicking asteroids off course to save the planet or you can have them at Ford fixing the tracking and communication systems so you know when you will get your toy. The sad thing is I know which one you pick ;)

Well the status on the Selkirk, NY train arrival changed from "no status" to "shipment was constructively placed" at 10am 9/28 today. Guess that is better than destructively placed. Anyone heard of that category? Maybe it means waiting for a convoy to go to dealer.

Pretty sure it means it's overdue waiting for a truck to unload it and pick it up. Fingers crossed that means it'll hit the dealer soon.

This morning I woke up to an email inviting me to "complete my purchase" and "continue to cart". I thought that seemed odd, since I had not received any other correspondence specifically indicating that it was delivered to the dealer.

I called my sales rep around lunch time and he just confirmed within the last hour that it is there - came in this morning! They're getting it all detailed and ceramic coated now, should be picking it up tomorrow!!!

Congrats! Do you know what type of ceramic coating you are going with and the cost?

Seems like it is good news day! I woke up to find that my delievery date changed to 9/27 to 10/3. My dealer confirmed the truck is in San Antonio that he should see it in a week or two. I'm hoping he sees it this week, it is only 88 miles to get from train depot to dealer.
