Tall Paul wroteIt is likely in KC depending on how long it has been.So could the car already be on a train and I may see “at the port” when it’s in KC or Renton?
I thinking I read the our CA can tell us the car number.
TurtleBoy wroteIt hasn’t been long enough, but that is the next status. I just wasn’t clear what it meant. Any idea how long it takes them to go from the factory to being loaded on the train?It is likely in KC depending on how long it has been.
Tall Paul wroteThey load onto train cars at the factory. I assume they go straight into the cars rather than waiting in the lot for a period of time and then the train cars are picked up regularly. That may not be the case though given how many are produced.It hasn’t been long enough, but that is the next status. I just wasn’t clear what it meant.

VAJeff .TurtleBoy wroteIt looks like they added covered parking for all those new cars! Good news for those whose cars are sitting waiting to get on a train.Here are the train cars at the plant. Courtesy of
Tall Paul wroteI don't know if you have seen this already but here is some of the X5 assembly line.It’s fun to see how they are assembled (haven’t seen the BMW plant but did have an extensive tour of the Ford Rouge plant), but it would be really interesting to learn more about their logistics and scheduling.
Tall Paul wroteKeep it on the list for the next one.Thankyou TB, I did see that
It’s a an expanded experience to see it in real life and watch the different elements blend together.

cageybee28 wroteI'm AT THE PORT again. Finally. Genius said it was released to a transport company today and should be at the dealer Sep10. It's now been over 3 months since I placed my order...I'm in Los Angeles. For me, AT THE PORT meant Kansas City, like others have said. I had verified with the Genius, and my tracker status went to IN TRANSIT the same day. That was Friday, Aug19. Genius said expected to arrive in San Bernardino Aug26. It's my birthday on Aug28 so I'd be super happy to take delivery that week. Good luck to everyone having surgery.
