You're just 2 business days in, it will clear up. Most of us in week 15 spent 2 weeks in QC.

In my case, my production date remained 4/12 until I moved from QC to Awaiting Carrier Assignment, at which point it changed to that day's date of 4/24.

That’s a bummer. Did those of you stuck in QC ever figure out what the holdup was? Waiting on a part? Full leather issue? Heard there were a few items causing delays but didn’t think I had any of them on my build.

We never got it nailed down. If it was a parts shortage, I think I had it whittled down to something from this list:

Parking Package
Carbon interior
Ventilated seats
Shadowline Laser lights

But even if it was one of those things for us (which I honestly don't know), that wouldn't necessarily imply that you guys run into the same issue.

I have all of those optioned on my car as well so I guess we can’t narrow it down. Surprised it would get to QC with known parts shortage issues if that’s the holdup. Did hear rumblings about full leather issues and the wireless charger but who knows. My CA got back to me and said that he didn’t see anything unusual on his end. Sent a screenshot of what he sees and it all matches what I’m seeing. Guess I’ll spam the refresh button until it changes….

At this point it would probably be easier to figure out what ISN’T causing issues

Remember the status after QC is Final Assembly. So imagine for the sake of argument that the issue was one or two of the carbon trim pieces, or the blower motor for the seats. They mostly finish the car as scheduled, park it until excess parts are available (it has been reported that they don't rob from current production to complete previous builds), 2-3 minutes of manual work and the car is done and ready to ship.

With you there, been hitting refresh obsessively for months now. After 2 weeks in QC, now approaching 2 weeks at port, hoping to catch a boat Thursday (Arc Independence) or Saturday (Orion Highway).

But when the status does change, you'll be giddy for a few hours at the progress Then get back to being impatient for the NEXT step.

Thanks for the timeline, gives all of us who have similar options hope to not get stuck in QC!

Yeah I’m just being impatient. It was nice watching it move through the process once production started. Just thought it was weird to be sitting in QC for more than a day or so unless it is awaiting parts. Oh well, back to the refresh button.
