Lightning Owners in the St. Louis area

Well I took my delivery on Monday 7/18. Loving this beauty of a truck but havent seen or heard of anyone else in St. Louis that has received their truck yet either. I know of at least three dealerships that got their mannequins (Roberts in Alton, Suntrup Westport, and Suntrup in Kirkwood) but no confirmation of other deliveries.

Who else in the St. Louis area has orders and when did you receive or expect to take delivery?

Additionally is their an EV club in the greater St. Louis area as I couldnt find any on a google search and I dont have Facebook, so was curios to see others trucks.

My Lightning just departed Decatur IL.. hoping it hits Wentzville tonight. Then I'll be waiting for a convoy truck like everyone else I'm sure. My ETA is the 28th, not sure I can make that.. guess it depends on if I can catch a ride?

I wonder how badly the crazy rains and flooding today has delayed everything now. My train was rolling through STL right at 2AM (worst time possible). No updates since then on it's progress for Norfolk Sourthern's phone line.

Hopefully you guys are safe! It's kinda crazy out there.
Welcome @Griddlez! Hopefully the rain doesn't affect your deliver too much. How did you spec your Lightning?
Thanks for the welcome. It's a ER Lariat w/ Max Tow/Tow-Tech Package. Spray in liner and weather floor mats. Think that's all I added.
Hopefully soon! Mine has been sitting in the rail yard in Wentz since last Friday, hopefully just waiting on a couple more to fill out on the transport truck for the literal 15 min drive! My ETA is today, doubt Ill make it
Maybe it was waiting on me to get there ; ) - I'm over on the IL side but we could certainly share the same truck. Norfolk Southern is reporting my rail car, as of 10PM last night, as "notification ground only" whatever the heck that means. So maybe I'll be unloaded soon and join you! My ETA is still tomorrow as of right now.

Arrived earlier today, just picked up!
Congrats!! Was it worth the wait??

My railcar, I kept checking it throughout the day and a bunch of codes I couldn't really understand were being given for it. I checked again this evening and now the rail car has "intermediately arrived at Wentzville".. meaning I think it is unloaded and about to be off to its next destination. Should mean my truck is unloaded and just waiting for a convoy, I am guessing!

My ETA updated over night to 7/30/2022 - 8/5/2022 from 7/28. Guess I'll be chilling in Wentzville for a few. Hoping it's wrong.
Did you end up getting your truck yet Griddlez?
Yep - showed up on the 2nd! Already took it on two camping trips lol. Loving it.
