I guess the A8 orders from the west coast that have shipped out of BG have more waiting to do. My car has been at the train station since Friday night and Onstar has timed out. So I ask, whats going on with the west bound train from Toledo? I understand on average it takes roughly 5 days before it leaves. Just wondering if there are any updates. I keep telling myself to be patient that it is on its way.

Any word on invoices? Do any of the A8s have invoices yet?

Since my OnStar has timed out it would be great if you could let us know when you see that the train has left the station. Thanks

Hopefully this will be in a day or two and then 10 days later it should arrive in CA with delivery a few days after that.

My 01/28 built car #3036 arrived in Toledo yesterday/Monday, so I'm hoping it will get consolidated with you other Southern California guys cars.

My neighbors Z51, which is in New Mexico today, sat in Toledo for 10 days before it was loaded and tracked to Bellview, then West. I'm just happy there has been movement on my car and that it's NOT in BG this past couple of days!

For all of us in Toledo, here is the 2/17/15 weather report:



My Z06 is definitely being preserved on ice!

Current location of my A8/Z06 at the Toledo Rail Yard:

Based upon the Chrysler Assy. Building across the track, maybe its setting up a run with a Hellcat!!

Thanks for this Bob! I was able to find the exact location on Google Maps, including the parking lot where my car is also and the loading ramps onto the train cars! Please post another when your car gets to Bellevue.

Thinking about you Cali guys today and for what it's worth 2587 was built and on the ground for 4 weeks in BG prior to shipment and want you to know no tire issues or quality issues. My car came home today. I did take out the tire/wheel warranty which was reasonable. You will all be excited when you see and drive yours and all those anxiety feelings will dissipate the moment you see her. Keep the faith it will be worth it.

Love that Shark Gray! The weather channel says -15 Thursday night!

Exactly why I chose that color.

According to my Onstar - the train is now in Indiana! Looks like its on the move!!!!

Great news! When did your car get to Toledo? My car got there Friday so my OnStar timed out which must mean they load the train cars as they get off the truck.

Denstoy968

Same as you - Friday. I didn't think my Onstar would continue working but I decided to check and it was showing it in Indiana. I think you, SDToothDoc, BobsZ06. and mine are all in this first train batch of A8s so all of ours are probably on this ride. I'm vin 2886. Think my car gets dropped in Elko, NV then trucked to Vegas - need to confirm that.

I hope you are right. Can you send a screen shot? I would love to see this. Any idea how long the train ride lasts? I have heard anything from 3-10 days.

freeman1215

If your cars are on a train, you should have the name of the rail line and car number from your dealer!

Here you go!

Thanks for this. Has made my day. Hopefully we will see our cars in a matter of days.

Just checked my OnStar and unfortunately mine is still sitting in Toldeo, OH as of tonight at 9:58 PM. Looks like the wait continues for me.
