East coast! I'm happy because that should be 2-3 weeks for the boat vs the extra west coast time.. super long trek

You get to see the ship pass through the Panama Canal! lol. As long as we're not waiting months to even get on a boat like some are, then I'll be happy

Agreed 100%. Grateful we're moving along.

Tell me about it. I'm still week 19 but it's great seeing week 20 gets VINs oh well, what's another week of getting bumped with no rhyme or reason

I’m a W19 build, still stuck at 150. Time to call the geniuses so they can keep me from jumping off the deep end!!

Ditto. I never should have looked at these “build week” threads. Lol

Stumbled across a deal on 5/4 with an Allocation

I can't do this anymore, my wife has caught me checking everyday (3 times a day) and still at 112, was bumped from week 12 to 20 and no vin yet. Genius gave me production date 9th-12th but I am not holding my breath.

I broke free around 11am today (at least according to MyGarage, whose operators are probably on the verge of blocking my IP address for fear that I'm trying to take down their site). Currently at 153 (assembly). Hopefully will wrap up tomorrow, right on schedule.

(I've already started looking at shipping schedules to guess which boat I'll be on... yes, I've got issues, I know.)

You?

I am still in the paint booth but glad to hear you made it out. I looked at boat schedules but I feel like I'm getting too far ahead of myself by doing that lol. Do they assign the boats once you get to the port or is that during "awaiting carrier assignment"? And I check my garage at least every hour lol

I'm guessing you'll wake up tomorrow to status 152+. I had assumed that "awaiting carrier assignment" refers both to the train to the port and then the ship, but maybe the latter only happens at port. Either way, I don't think we find out until it's already set sail, and we either stumble upon the VIN (if shipping by WW), or Genius tells us what boat it's on.

Aside: Is this currently Week 20? Looks like Week 18 by my calendar, but I got tired of all the theories about start vs. end of production and when the first week starts. I just consider myself fortunate that I'm actually in production and not relegated back to 105 status or something...

[top-down]

I just moved to 112 today, and when I called they said build week 20, starting on May 8th. Looks like everything is a little hit or miss with timing.

Do you know where and how to search on ww for a vin?

[Ashahin]

Let's see if this holds

In mid February, along with pretty much everybody in week 8, I was bumped back to status 105 and no build week even assigned. Like most, a few days later I was back in status 111. Of all the members I recognize that were previously in build week 8, we all got different build weeks (17, 18>19 here, and 21). We are all apparently still currently in status 111.

What is galling is that all the week 9, 10, and even 12 builds I see were not effected similarly and many are now at status 150 or even better.

I am one of those people, initially week 9 then a roller coster to 20 now

The main search interface is at https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/track-trace

My car isn't on board yet so I haven't verified the VIN search, but I understand it should be possible
