That's the funny thing, it's not working out that way at all. Lots of week 16 folks are dispatched from the factory or already at the pier, while lots of week 15 folks are still in QC. So it's not anything resembling a uniform transportation delay, and it's not just one or two of us.

I’d keep a suspicious eye on week 16 folks jumping the line in mass, that’s a rarity. $5 says you’re at the port by Wednesday. You’re close! And you have to take into account the tracker is always behind and I mean always!!

The Galveston (slow) ship, with 7 stops, left yesterday, so, some Port inventory will clear up. I am not sure if I made it on that one, however, I'd prefer to be on the Monday (24th) one that takes about 18 days to get to Galveston and will reach it a week before the April 20th one...
But as mentioned, quite a few ships leaving between the 20th (yesterday) and next 7-10 days that should make more room for the post-week-14 production cars...

Since all of week 15 guys seems to be stuck regardless of build, I'm guessing we're at port as well and they didn't get our cars updated in the system after the move. Can't imagine how all of week 16 would skip week 15 in QC.

Anyone stuck in QC NOT have one of these options on their build?

Edit: removed Executive package
I have all of these as well

Carbon adds COULD be an issue. Other manufacturers have had similar issues. But imma go with they forgot to scan all our cars and we all at port waiting for a ship.

Let’s hope this is the case 🤞

Anyone have insight that can validate this?

Almost everyone has interior carbon, with week 16 listed as at port, don’t think that’s the cause.

I'm starting to get a little worried if all of our cars have some sort of defect lol. If all the week 16 people are at the port its not some sort of parts shortage, they would have used the parts on our cars first. I also doubt that they just haven't updated the system for us. Weird.

I don't know that the bolded part is true. One unlucky forum member was in QC for 4.5 months, because they lacked a needed part when his was built, and the factory would not divert stock from new production to complete his car. So he had to wait until there was an "excess" of that part.

Very strange they would do that. Sucks for me, my buddy just bought a 22 comp x drive. Yesterday I hooned it around, did a drift and launch controlled it. Im 10x more impatient for mine now these are such awesome cars.

Wow! I am so sorry week 15 folks, this sucks! I’ve never seen this before, an entire build week left in QC while the next weeks builds fly right through. This will be one for the forum once you guys figure out what the hell happened. Can’t be parts, week 16/17/18 are still progressing along. Wow wow wow, so sorry. Hang in there your cars are coming!

Just checked and not only did my car make it through QC finally I’ve also advanced through 4 steps. It’s now “dispatched from the factory”. Keeping my fingers crossed I got on a vessel soon.
