Did they state what the damage was?

Some small dents that were removed with PDR. They pointed out where they were and I couldn't see any damage.

Got bumped down the road another week to 10/7 - 10/13. Anyone else in Selkirk yard have the same thing happen?

I am also at Selkirk, but arrived on the next train after yours (9/5 build week). It actually got to Selkirk on Tuesday (10/4) morning. I am still showing a 10/7 to 10/13 delivery date, but that hasn't changed since it shipped.

I have been talking with my dealer and he said it could take up to a week before they even unload the rail cars. I had hoped he was exaggerating, but the fact that you are still there doesn't give me any. I would say we are waiting on a truck together, but I think we are headed opposite directions (my dealer in is Schenectady).

My dealer (internet sales manager) told me it was a 1-2 week delay in getting the trucks in. Not sure if that is true, but I am expecting all the possible delays... then hopefully I'll be surprised if it does come in earlier. He mentioned the same delays unloading the rail cars, and getting the vehicles loaded up on carriers to come to the dealerships.

But what do I know??? Just waiting...

Yeah my dealer down in Stockton pretty much told me the same thing. Could be up to two weeks to get picked up and delivered from Richmond railyard.

Mine was delivered today, not marked as shipped yet. Probably will pickup Saturday morning!

My pickup is on Friday morning... Could have been early this week, but work got in the way. I will also have a towing report by the end of next week. Toyota Tacoma on a uhaul car trailer from Essex VT to Glens Falls NY (the nearest place carvana would accept the Taco). For a few hundred dollars I'd do something more local, but for more than a 2k difference between local offers and carvana I'll put up with the inconvenience. At least I have another day off next week.

I went over to All American Ford in Paramus today to get started on the purchase process. Unfortunately I couldn't get them to budge on the $2500 ADM, they said something about that being the price they paid other dealers to purchase the pre-orders off of them, and they couldn't remove it. Then they only wanted to offer $14k for my trade-in.
Financing from Ford came back @5.49% ouch, but I'm expeting NJFCU to get back to me today or tomorrow with a lower rate.
I also stopped at the KIA dealer where I previously received and email estimate from them via CARFAX.com of just short of $19K, but they too offered a much lower $15K.

Used car prices are dropping. I easily got out of my 2021 Lariat lease with equity, but I'm getting nervous about getting out of the wife's lease when her Mach-E shows up. I also got lucky that I was pre-approved last month through my credit union and it was still available. My dealership couldn't believe I was only at 3.24%.

Picked mine up today. I brought my own financing. I will be selling my Tacoma to carvana on Thursday. I was in and out in under ten minutes, probably closer to 5. Fordpass was not responding while there, but worked once home. Too bad paak is not yet working. I reloaded the app on my android phone, but still nothing. Tonneau arrives tomorrow. 29.8 miles when I picked up. Lunch, plus stop at an apple orchard that we don't usually go to (dealership is 40 miles from home). Averaged 3 miles per kWh on the way home according to the truck 11% battery used. It fits in the garage with just enough space to open the tailgate with an inch or two to spare on each side. I love how peaceful ev driving is (I'm not new to it) but this truck is seriously quiet.
