Final assembly to dealer
So, I'm at the final assembly stage, and Genius says that my car is already being moved over to shipping. With it coming from Mexico to a East coast dealership, anyone have any idea or experience from this stage? ie when I can expect to see the car? I'm hoping before February as my preapproval for my financing expires a week into February, and its a low rate I'd hopefully like to keep!

2 weeks minimum at the ready to transport stage. One week sea travel minimum to an East Coast port. If you're heading farther up the coast add another week. Minimum of one week at the dealer processing center. 3 days or less on a car carrier. From what my sales manager told me as far as the 2 month time period on the credit application, they can "refresh" the application if it goes beyond the two months.

I’m literally at the same stage as you are and my dealer told me it should be in by the end of January. Coming from Mexico is hopefully a little faster then Germany…

My understanding is, yes, they are all sent via ship to the various US ports.

It's sort of comical, San Luis Potosi is roughly a 15-hour drive from where I live in North Texas, yet the car will ultimately have to board a ship and essentially spend 2-4 weeks in "travel" and awaiting customs clearance to eventually get to me
Does anyone know if they use any ports along the gulf coast? (TX or LA) My last order came from Germany and I think went through Charleston?

I ordered 9/23 and after spending about a month in "Scheduled for Production", quickly matured from "Production Begins" mid-Nov to "Entering Assembly Line" 12/6 to "Ready for Transport" 12/9.
I called the Genius line today and I was expecting to hear "early Jan" only to find out it'll probably be late February for no other reason than it's slow (he blamed the holiday and COVID, but at least the car is built) though the agent could not give me any additional information or a firmer date. The wait continues!! Ah the agony!! |
