Be safe out there.
You will forget all about the time it took to get it once you have it - you will be too excited about everything related to the car to remember "what came before"

Have you gotten any location updates? I found that OnStar would periodically lose connection for a while and assumed that the rail car was in a location where it couldn't get a signal (maybe a tunnel or a crowded rail yard). I think it went to sleep soon after reaching the Phoenix rail yard because I saw it there the morning it arrived, then later in the day it stopped being able to connect for the rest of the day. Then next morning it was back, and it had been moved to the parking lot - I assume it "woke up" when they started it to unload it.

After that OnStar worked pretty much every time I checked - and I used Family Link to set a boundary alert so I would know when it was moved to the dealer. The disappointing thing was that the boundary alert didn't go off until the car was started at the dealer to be unloaded from the truck - so if your car is loaded on a transport, the alert is not triggered until the car is started in a location outside the boundary - it doesn't seem to actually track the car in real time unless it is running. You can get location updates when it is on a transport (like the trucks or rail cars), but the alert didn't get triggered by that movement.

I hope you are having better luck with it now, and I hope you are close to delivery!
