No, it’s part of the normal timeline, I would just keep an eye on it, but most likely it’ll hit 150 week from Monday.

Can't hurt to double-check. I called earlier today, no change in my production week. I definitely wouldn't complain about being a bit earlier, though.

Hey folks,

A few months ago my individual F80 was totaled by a driver rear ending me at a stoplight. After a few months of waiting I got an allocation for week 47 build on a new Tanzanite Comp RWD. Currently in status 112. Looking forward to following along with other week 47 folks!

Build:
Tanzanite Blue
Tartufo
825m silver (hardest choice, not a huge fan of any of the options truthfully)
Carbon Fiber Trim
Exec Package
Parking Assist
Drive Recorder
M Drive Professional
Shadowline Lights
Red calipers

Debated doing another individual color (twilight purple or a metallic green possibly) but the extra wait is a killer without a car currently.

Figured I'd start a progress log. Will update as we move through the process.

• 09/30: Allocation acquired, order submitted and production number received. Tentatively scheduled for Week 46 (Status 111)
• 10/24: Scheduled for Production Week 47, November 17-23. (Status 112)

Week 47 also

Aventurine Red
Full Tartufo leather
Carbon Fiber Trim
Exec Package
Parking Assist
Drive Recorder
M Drive Professional
Shadowline Lights
Red calipers
Galvanized switches

I've never added up the timeline, but it seems like we could have Christmas present cars.

Definitely not. Mid-January would be the absolute earliest we’ll see them (East Coast), more likely will be into February.

See comment #11. Why are you so positive we don't have December deliveries?

If production runs 100% on schedule, our cars will be completed around 11/23, then it’ll take at least a week for them to get to port, and who knows how long to get on a ship. Then a month at sea, the VPC, then transport to dealer. At best, all that is weeks, which would be early January, but there’s no solid chance that best case scenario happens.

Also, week 47 is the week beginning November 17, and your first step is production complete in 11/18? No chance. Even your “worst case” is most likely off by a week or two.

I agree but there is also a chance for some december deliveries for those rare instances where everything lines up perfectly in terms of early in the week prod date, getting on a ship within a week, getting a boat that takes 3 weeks to get to east coast port and VPC moving quick. I agree most likely its jan/feb delivery for most of week 47.

Is there a chance? Yes, of course. Will it happen? No.

Report back here if you take deliver on or before 12/31 and I’ll eat my words.

I hope I will

I doubt your’s will be December too. Best to prepare for later like February and be happily surprised if you see it in January. I’m week 43 and it’s still at Bremerhaven waiting for a ride to the west coast, hoping to get on a ship Nov 9th.

You west coast guys have it bad and my sympathies. Boats to the east coast come and go much more frequently. Average wait for a boat to the east coast is 3-5 business days at port. They all stop at Baltimore first, which is 1 hour from my dealer. I am fairly optimistic about getting the car between December 25-January 10.

I don't see a reason not to be optimistic nowadays. People are getting bumped up to earlier weeks and there's no backfill or delays at the moment. It's not like the last few years, or even earlier this year.

I'm not gonna price in being the outlier who gets stuck in QC for 2-4 weeks, or sits at the port for 2-6 weeks. I'm assuming the general / middle point case.

***BTW - there are multiple Week 43 guys who are already on a boat to Baltimore. That means they will be taking delivery in the next 14-21 days, assuming their dealership is on the east coast. Boat takes 12-13 days to get to Baltimore. 1-3 days of processing max. Then just on a truck to dealership.

I'm a month behind them. So if they're late Nov, I can reasonably infer I'm late December, early Jan.

Last week of Dec/first week of Jan is my best guess for myself. I don't see it taking more than 2 weeks to get on a ship - and it's not a month at sea to Baltimore.. it's 2 weeks.

VPC/Transport to dealer is a 24-72 hours process for me, as I'm local to the port.

I'm not trying to be contentious or anything, I get why people set low expectations - for a pleasant surprise. I usually am the same.

True that! I hope that’s the case for you. For some reason I thought you were west coast. Ya, 30 days at sea for us guys. Good luck and enjoy that new ride!

[Bergy4Selke37]

FWIW my dealer estimated potentially late December arrival but to plan for early-ish January so as to not be disappointed. I am on the east coast.

Production begins for me, got my vin

If we’re all still Week 47 (no reason to think we’re not) then we’ll all start flipping this week. Only two weeks till actual production starts.
