Well my dealer called today, they checked the VV and the car is done, in the lot. Another person (outside the dealer) confirmed that it was in the body shop on Mon the 14th so that is close to what I posted about the guy from AFM. So it looks as mine, SWA737 and StillIntense are completed.
Not sure how long it will sit on the lot, they did not get a date at the dealer but CS said 3/1 for what that is worth.
On the convoy, they said the cars arrive on truck from (Tampa? He was unsure of the exact point) after they get off the train. So for this dealer at least, it is part truck and part train. He said most if not all the stickers say convoy but still arrive in this fashion.

I recently tracked my wife's new 2011 from AAI to Wayne Akers Ford, Lake Worth, FL. Make sure you get the CSX railcar # when your Boss gets loaded on the train. While on the rails, you can call CSX Transportation (877-744-7279), pick option 5 for railcar information, then option 4 for locate, which connects you to the TouchTrace automated tracing system. Once connected to TouchTrace you say "location". It'll then ask you to speak the railcar initials (letters only) and then the numbers. Next say "done" when prompted, and the system will look-up and report the latest location information it has for the railcar. Hope this helps you.

BTW, from Palm Center (Jupiter), FL to the dealership was by truck, which took 2 more days. Your Boss will probably be unloaded from its railcar closer to Tampa.

Yup, mine is on the lot too. If past experience is any indication, the car will leave the lot (barring a QC hold that is) on Friday-ish. They could arrive in about two weeks to the east coast, but who knows.

Just a heads up and a few corrections.
For most destinations, it usually goes like this:
Convoy (Car Carrier from the plant to the rail head)
Rail (Train from the origin rail head to a regional one)
Convoy (Car carrier from the regional rail head to the dealership)
As for the ETA's, Ford's system spits out an automatic date 2 weeks from the car's build week. Which is not your build date. Notice how all of the 'build dates' listed are on Monday's... i.e. the beginning of the build week.
The date on the window sticker is not your build date.
Anyone who is getting their car built this first week of production, don't get too excited. Usually, when a 'new' model comes out and the cars have to wait for the OK To Ship (as stated earlier in this thread) those first cars get sent to back of the parking lot at the factory. Once they're released, the cars at the front (most recently built) get shipped out first and the cars that were built first have to wait to be shipped.
Is there anyone here that is scheduled to be built this week? With your VIN I might be able to tell you if it's actually been built.

My dealer told me that my 1/31 build date was bumped to 2/28 due to the AAI issue. I understand that window stickers become available in the week preceding the build week. Does the fact that I now have a window sticker mean that my build week is 2/21 and not 2/28? I'm another excited, neurotic update hound.
Thanks!

Nice, that is the first LS sticker I have seen
My Boss had a sticker date of 15, according to the info passed on to me - 14 in body, 15 on trim, 16 out the door.
What does all the info mean in the box next to "final assembly point". I read something on it a while back but can not remember where.
