Anyone familiar with the shipping logistics? I can't imagine that it would be trucked all the way from Cuautitlan. Would it be by rail? To a costal dock then on a RORO ship?
From a logistics standpoint, it makes much better sense to ship some via rail, and via an RORO ship (rail first to get to the coast). RORO logistics would already be in place/the works for shipping to Europe anyway.
For East coast shipping, The RORO ships would dock from Florida to Boston. I would not at all be surprised our MME orders are delivered in large batches.
An aerial photo of the Cuautitlan plant shows rail cars parked nearby next to what's identified as a shopping mall:

Considering how close that date is too, I figure they're right on top of it and responding to real time changes in the production line.

Good point.
My friend at a dealer said that they will use rail to get the vehicles to the mixing station in Kentucky, then put them on other trains to fan out to the country. Then they eventually are put on vehicle haulers (trucks) to the dealers. Don't know if there are other mixing stations other than Kentucky to serve the west coast...perhaps someone can shed more light.
Lots of excitement for this vehicle!

So the video has the front license plate bracket installed. What's your dealer's practice and did you communicate your preference?
As delivery nears I need to make a decision. Let them drill for the bracket or go with an aftermarket, no drill kit.. none of which I'm too excited about.

Mine already has the front license plate holder so that ship has sailed. Didn't talk to them in advance. That's prolly on me tho.
