My ETA is still the 28th and the train has made it to STL, 15-30~ miles from the truck/convoy depot however it was rolling thru right when we're having record rainfail/flash flooding lol. Got over 7 inches of ran in under 5 hours... hope everything is ok. Major interstate by where the train goes thru is closed currently due to flash flooding.

It would seem to be in FMC best interest to get these shipped trucks delivered. What a waste of money !

Ugh! So they are testing my patience now. So if not for the fact that it was driven 98 miles and sat for 90 days the SOC would not have been 48% and probably would not have screw in tire.

5.5 hours to charge which would have made monday delivery tough with pdi that began at 1pm.
tire did not arrive today. Guess I have to wait until early tomorrow afternoon to know if they have truck. We reached an agreeable amount on trade for my ‘19. Little less than I wanted but market is softening.

My estimated delivery dates remain at 7/24-7/30. Truck is still just chillin in Oklahoma City. IF I get lucky and it shows up on the 30th, can't do anything until at least Monday since the dealerships are closed on Sundays.

Meanwhile I have a good offer to purchase my current truck but timing this seems to be impossible. I don't mind being without a vehicle for a few days but this delivery just seems to be dragging on.

I know, I'm preaching to the choir here!

IF we could trust those dates that would be one thing. But they roll like the tide. Sadness.

The Norfolk Southern line is like impossible to understand the robot on half the time lol.

Looks like the train started moving again this evening after the flash flooding subsided. Now I'm getting a message with some kind of acronym starting with an A (probably) and the location following it (Wentzville) and a timestep of later tonight, in the future. I would say that's some kind of ETA but I have no idea. What starts with an A .. arrivals something something?

Now it says "notification ground only" - I love rail lingo. Guessing that means it was dropped off and someone was notified to unload it(at the rail yard). ??

Oh and my dealer's demo updated with an ETA of the 31st now. Mine however remains he same at the 28th. Either the demo is actually on a separate rail line coming in or Ford is just being Ford and giving 2 different estimates for the relatively same delivery conditions.
