For those of you with cars in transit or crappy dealers, here is a link to be able to get the window sticker for your vehicle. In the link, replace the "X" in the URL after "vehicles" with your full vin.

Mine shows that the sticker was created on 12/23/2021 and there's no installed options. I wonder if it will stay that way. If so, it will definitely move faster through the port for delivery I would assume.

Most likely yes. The date is what struck me as odd. Mine was made on 12/13 but the car didn’t even land at the port until 12/20. So they are producing these window stickers ahead of Port arrival.

Monroney labels are ready to print items before they are affixed to your vehicle at the port.

Ahhhhhh they just moved my car at the port. If it's already been processed, and it's in the delivery time frame, could it mean they moved it to load it on a truck?!?

And now I finally see the PSI. My baby is sitting at 55 PSI on all 4 corners. Sounds like quite a pleasant ride lmao

Rumor has it that they are moving it onto the truck after speeding a couple laps around the port!!!

With the tires at 55 PSI, I'm not too sure there can be much "speeding." It sounds like it'd be like driving a bounce house lmao

My tentative delivery date is January 18 just in time for the snow. All good though since I work from home, I will not have to drive it in the snow. Dealer will be storing it inside if there's snow. Definitely won't drive it home if there's snow and sand on the road.

The tires are kept at 55 psi during transport to keep from flat spotting. Once your dealership does the formal PDI, they will set the tire pressures to the recommended factory spec which is typically 36 cold psi. Manual says 35 front 36 rear.
