Oof... Dealer said another month. I was like it's really going to take a month to go from San Digo rail yard to dealership. Then got called back, should be in five days. Have to thank @Emersonsdad and @jredondox for keeping an eye on the railcar (and anyone else). If I didn't have that piece of information I probably would have just accepted the month. Fingers crossed it gets here this week.

I got the same bullshit… 4 weeks but from ordering before they do it so you don’t call every day 😂

I can see mine moving around in the Richmond, CA lot. Came off the train yesterday. Then today it moved to another part of the parking lot. Hoping it hits the truck and gets delivered this week but my dealer said another truck he was waiting for arrived last Tuesday and hasn’t been delivered yet 🤷‍♂️.

I was chatting with my Train enthusiasts today and got a few links with train info and camera's.
Molly Von Sunshine commented back in 99 she tracked her vehicle down to the train car. Since 911 no more..

My truck is still in Mira loma. Since 6/10. Anyone else in the same boat? I guess it is on a “side rail” and hasn’t been unloaded. Can’t figure out how they prioritize which ones get unloaded and which get held.

Im wondering if some dealers are hoping we get frustrated with the wait and buy something

Yes. I’ve spoken to the GM. He is insanely cool and communicative. Has called the yard and everything. They have even ”flagged” my truck as a priority with Mira Loma. I guess it has to do something with the railroad?

Ah perfect, as long as they know. I’m sure they’ll get it to you once they are able to get a hold of it. I heard Mira Loma is backed up also
