@TaxmanHog Achieved shipped status today 8/18 via Canadian tracker. OrderTrack showing in-transit. VVR In Transit as well via CNR rail. Is CNR railcar tracking by phone only?
Yea, you have to call and as nicely. There’s no online tracking.

Sorry I was absent from all the fun today. Congrats to those who got their rides today. I wish you guys all the joy in the world and a box of roofing nails spilled in your driveway.:):):):)
We should take a road trip to visit @Commercial Sales Ford. We'll play "How many parts can you get off before he comes running out?"

@bobrosco what are you planning for your charging setup?

I just bought a Lectron 48A adapter to use with my existing wall chargers.

I'm going to try to build a boom as well, just picked up some tool balancers. Hopefully DIY a setup that does this:
How are you going to construct the boom? Is there a Harbor Freight solution out there?

That sounds like a plan. I have a friend with a jet or two sitting around. I wonder if he'd find me a pilot and free rental for the weekend?

Don't be absurd...

The rental cars are free when you fly into a private airport.

If it makes you feel better I called when OVISS showed delivered. My dealer said it wasn't delivered. So my truck may be lost. Does that cheer you up to know I'll be around with you for a little while longer?
Wow.. not good. I've seen that happen before. They may have dropped it at the wrong dealer. That's why we are supposed to verify vins before we take delivery. We had another dealers vehicle for a few days back in the spring.
At least it did cheer me up knowing I am not the only one having issues.

I'm glad you delight in my misery.

What happens in that situation? Drive it over? Convoy comes to pick it back up?

Seriously. I am happy our build week has made so much progress. It won't be long and we will all have our trucks. We just got to have a wee little bit of patience. I wish @TaxmanHog had created a column for when arrivals occurred at local rail yards. Delivery times from the yards to dealer appears to be weak link. I still can't fathom how inept these people at United Road are. I want to say the load orders we see in OViss were created around the time we got our vins. It's not like these units just magically arrived without notice or warning. My issue is with United Road not Ford.
