I kind of wonder what the deal is with Canada. The ones produced in Ohio go from built to dealer in 2 weeks. Mine has been in transit since before Christmas.

Ontario Canada is where that factory is. It IS middle of winter too.. which can and does slow down a wide range of different transportation of products, vehicles, etc.
When my 2017 was shipped from that factory to California, it was summer so the weather was good and no transport interuptions, and it still took over two weeks in transit. First leg was by ship to New York, then from Rail to California, then by Truck to dealer. The dealer did not have any good visibility as to exactly where it was until it was loaded on a Truck in California for the final miles to the dealer. I gather they knew at that point because they would receive a shipping manifest and delivery schedule from the trucking service.
Not to make you lose more of your mind than is currently in limbo here...
... but sometimes you get a further delay at dealer prep if any damage from shipment is found during prep. Does not happen often, but when it does... it causes more delays as they have to restore the vehicle to OEM condition before completing the sale to you. Good news is.. when you find your vehicle, your mind will be right there with it.
It is here!! My dealer is on his way to pick me up!!! I feel like I need more !!!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!!
She’s a looker! Congrats!
Uh oh, it's clearly defective...the license plates have already fallen off! Better return it quick before something worse happens...
I was wondering when you'd get it! Congratulations. Yours is the first red one I have seen. It is beautiful, but unfortunately I cannot ever own red as a University of Tennessee graduate. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine.
Looks beautiful! I'm curious... Where is the front radar now? Is it behind the grill?

Nice!
Gotta wonder why they didn't do that before. Sure looks nice!
Depending on weather Tuesday I start blacking out the chrome.
That's one thing that bugs me...chrome is back in fashion. I always thought it makes cars look cheaper and tackier, and for a while it was more fashionable for higher trim levels not to have it, but the pendulum seems to have swung back.
(And since I lease, there's nothing I can do about it!)

From what I gathered, haven't got into the weeds yet, the film can be removed so I don't see how it would violate any terms of your lease.
So it's not actual chrome? Just a, I don't know, chrome decal?
Why didn't anyone warn me about the auto high beams? It is a really cool feature bit of you don't know it exists it kind of freaks you out when you are driving down your street and the high beams keep coming on between street lights.
I guess I need to get in there with my laptop and go over any other features I didn't know she had.

It is a film that goes over the chrome and makes it look black.
